\nAccording to some experts, by 2050 we’ll find in our sea more plastic waste than fishes<\/a>. A sustainable idea would be to use a water bottle<\/strong> when you travel, to choose tap water (which can be purified through special filters) or to prefer drinking water using glass bottles rather than the plastic ones.<\/p>\n2.

The majority of cities have already started a recycling program<\/strong>; if the place you’re in hasn’t started it yet, then it’s your turn! And don’t forget to let children know about recycling. According to Legambiente, by recycling half of the waste we produce, we can reduce the level of CO2 and we can also reduce pollution.<\/p>\n3. Plant a tree<\/h2>\n

The best way to reduce air pollution is to plant a tree<\/a> in your garden. Trees absorb carbon dioxide<\/strong> and produce oxygen<\/strong>, making the air around us better. The more trees we have, the better we can live.<\/p>\n4. Save water, one of the most essential habits<\/h2>\n![\"Rubinetto\"](\"https:\/\/ecobnb.it\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/rubinetto-870x490.jpg\")

With more sustainable habits, such as shorter showers and closing the taps when we brush our teeth, we can reduce its waste<\/a>. Another solution could be to install an air mixer<\/strong> in order to reduce the flow and save up 50% of water.<\/p>\n5. Save Eletricity<\/h2>\n

LED bulbs<\/strong> use 90% less energy than incandescent ones, so why don’t we start using them? LED bulbs use 90% less energy than incandescent ones, so why don’t we start using them? You will also save some money as your bills will be reduced. A further point is to remember to turn off the lights at home or at your eco-friendly chalet and also to turn off technological devices when you’re not using them. All these habits will improve our life.<\/p>\n6. Make DIY projects part of your habits<\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ecobnb.it\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/autoproduzione-870x490.jpg\")

Homemade production<\/strong> is one of the fundamental choices to save money and live in a more sustainable way. Just think about how you can avoid CO2 emissions by choosing self-made production: not only will you avoid driving to the supermarket to look for what instead you can self-produce, but you will also avoid the pollution caused by the packaging and the transport of products (which often come from far away). Sometimes, few ingredients are enough to produce at home what we need. An example? You can make ecological detergents<\/a> by using lemon, vinegar or orange peels.<\/p>\n7.
