At Move Over Martha, we believe that sustainability and eco-friendliness are key components of a happy and healthy home. Making small changes in the way we live can have a big impact on the environment, our health, and our wallets. In this post, we'll provide you with a beginner's guide to sustainability in the home, and share some of our own eco-friendly products that can help you get started.

What is sustainability in the home?

Sustainability in the home refers to the practice of living in a way that reduces your impact on the environment, while still meeting your needs and maintaining a comfortable living space. This includes reducing waste, conserving energy and water, using eco-friendly products, and choosing materials that are sustainable and renewable.

Benefits of sustainability in the home

There are many benefits to living sustainably in the home, including:

  • Cost savings: By reducing your energy and water consumption, and by choosing eco-friendly products that last longer, you can save money on your utility bills and reduce your overall expenses.

  • Reduced environmental impact: By using less energy and water, reducing waste, and choosing sustainable materials, you can help to reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier planet.

  • Improved health: Many eco-friendly products are made from natural and non-toxic materials, which can help to reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals and improve your overall health.

Tips for sustainable living

Here are some tips for making your home more sustainable:

  • Reduce energy consumption: Use energy-efficient light bulbs, turn off lights and electronics when not in use, and unplug chargers and appliances when not in use.

  • Reduce water consumption: Fix leaky faucets and toilets, take shorter showers, and install low-flow showerheads and toilets.

  • Reduce waste: Recycle and compost whenever possible, use reusable bags and containers instead of disposable ones, and choose products with minimal packaging.

  • Use eco-friendly products: Choose products made from sustainable and renewable materials, such as bamboo, cotton, and linen, and avoid products that contain harmful chemicals.
