Think about whether you can give another use to the items that you no longer need. Be creative! For example, consider if it can be useful to someone else! If it cannot be reused, just recycle it properly, and if it is made up of more than one material, try to sort all of them, this can improve recycling efficiency. Be aware that each item required natural resources, energy and labour to be produced.
Try to repair broken stuff, if it is not possible, you can use some of its parts for another purpose before recycling it. If it cannot be reused, please recycle it properly, and if it is made up of more than one material, sort them. By doing so you can improve recycling efficiency. Think about the energy and materials needed to produce it.
You can visit second-hand websites to avoid buying new products or, if you have more time, drop by flea markets. You can also ask for information on shipping for larger items. There are many interesting resources and very interesting offers on exchange platforms too. Take a look and find out about it!
High humidity levels in your home can cause damp patches and mold, and this can affect your health. If this happens, you need to clean, remove and replace the affected elements and consider the way fresh air gets into the room. A regulated ventilation really works!
Dust particles affect the respiratory system and also generate dust and dirt. The presence of chemicals (TVOC, total volatile organic compounds, OR HCHO, Formaldehído) also affects the respiratory system and cause eye discomfort. When sweeping, you are moving particles instead of removing them. If you are trying to reduce dust and chemicals at home, use a vacuum cleaner. If you have air-power heating/cooling systems, keep in mind that dirt and dust filters that are not changed regularly can lead to dusty surfaces and particles in the environment.
High concentrations of CO2 and/or humidity can cause health problems and can affect concentration on your activities.
Including natural elements, views and colours favour concentration and avoid headaches or muscle fatigue: consider rearranging home decoration or buying some plants.
