One area where we can make a difference is within the walls of our own homes.

Use energy-efficient LED lights instead of incandescent bulbs. These LED lights consume less energy and have a longer lifespan.

To promote a healthier environment, use indoor plants and greenery to improve the aesthetics of your home. Plants purify the air by absorbing toxins and releasing oxygen.

For flooring, opt for sustainable options that are both durable and eco-friendly. Bamboo flooring, cork flooring, hardwood flooring, stone & tiles or recycled rubber are excellent choices.
