Triple Glazed Windows
The NSG Group explains that glass actually has a unique part to play in the contribution to harmful gas emissions. Their research has shown that: “if all the buildings in Europe invested in low energy insulating glass, ninety million tonnes of CO2 emissions could be cut, and a further seven million if there is greater use of triple glazed insulating glass”. Based on this argument - if you have windows that are over ten years old and are in need of replacing, you may want to consider the triple-glazed alternative to their double-glazed partner. It will not only help cut your heating bills but help to reduce the harmful emissions your own home is sending into the atmosphere.
Solar Panels
Renewable energy that is just as effective as traditional energy sources- without the consistent purging of harmful greenhouse gases into the environment, should be growing in popularity every day. However, it does come with a large price tag attached that may put some people off. Yes, there is the initial cost of installation; however, the benefits that solar panels will have on both your monthly bills and carbon footprint may become invaluable to you in the long run. Researching, budgeting, and looking at your finances with the help of a personal loan calculator, may help you to decide whether this option is viable and achievable for you. Bearing in mind that electricity prices may increase annually, that increase will outweigh the money you will save by not paying the initial price for solar panels - especially if the solar panels provide enough energy to cover the amount you and your family use daily. You may find the only outgoing costs on your solar panels are the installation and any repair payments. Which, all together, will be a considerable amount cheaper than monthly payments for non-renewable, environmentally-harming energy.
Hopefully, this has opened your eyes to how you can best reduce your carbon footprint and invest in not only your own future but your planet’s too.
