Here are some tips for how home and business owners can also take action to preserve the natural beauty of Vancouver Island.
IMPROVE THE ENERGY AND WATER EFFICIENCY OF YOUR HOME
A simple first step to improving your home's energy efficiency is to replace any incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs. Investing in a smart thermostat will also drastically reduce your energy consumption and save you money at the same time. Consider upgrading your home's insulation and installing solar panels as well. To reduce your home's water consumption, start by fixing any leaks in your plumbing system and adjusting your water usage habits. It's also a good idea to swap your old toilets for newer, low-flow models.
DEVELOP A ROBUST SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM FOR YOUR BUSINESS
There are numerous incentives for business owners to adopt more environmentally friendly practices as part of their corporate policy. Focusing on sustainability will help reduce your overall operating costs, especially as the price of scarce resources goes up. It will also help you attract and keep employees who are passionate about sustainable practices and who can develop new and creative sustainability solutions for your business. Ethically, sustainable business practices help to keep the local environment cleaner and greener for everyone.
DIVERT LANDFILL WASTE THROUGH RECYCLING, COMPOSTING, AND WASTE REDUCTION
Bulk landfill waste produces methane emissions, leaches toxic chemicals into the air, water, and soil, and reduces natural habitats. Home and business owners alike can play an active role in reducing the amount of waste that is sent to the landfill, first by focusing on creating less waste. Investing in reusable items and avoiding single-use products is a great place to start. Any remaining waste should be sorted so that organic waste can be composted and recyclable materials can be diverted to a recycling depot.
