How to live a green life

As the environment increasingly demands that all of us become more aware of saving energy in the home, some people feel hesitant about what steps to take in the practical application of these good sentiments. Despite the vast amount of literature available online and from local authorities, we are all of us still slow to react to, and to properly inform ourselves about, the help available to us to make this transition into a more eco-conscious generation that much easier. In this article therefore, we're going to look at a few ideas to cultivating energy-consciousness. From jumpers and socks to exciting new technology in renewable home energy, we need to find a solution that roots itself at the heart of our lives and upholds the well-being of our current environment and that of the future.
Government grants for upgrading home heating methods are a welcome solution to the problem of energy wastage, and while you're helping to reduce the amount of impact your home makes upon the environment, you are also saving money, and laying the foundation for effective betterment in the future. With efficient processing systems (usually conducted by post code and a few other questions) it's easy to assess just how much you are entitled to (up to £6000 for obsolete oil-heated homes) and to receive the grant or reimbursement for your outlay. Your local town hall website should have links to the applicable services for your area.
For those with a little more ambition and who wish to spread the knowledge and practical application of renewable energy, home renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly more encouraged. The chief of these is solar power (PV) and can even see home owners receiving money for their efforts, receiving export and generation tariffs for the energy they produce, even when they consume it themselves. Though this is a relatively new area of development it is likely only to become feasible through our getting to grips with the technology in the home and discussing the benefits with others who are considering moving over to primary renewable energy sources.
For those who are not dependent upon continuous central heating for health reasons, a rationale of common sense is seemingly one of the only ways to teach ourselves the value of the energy we are using. It is often hard to imagine the worth of energy; the very word has more applications than simply what makes the meter tick around, and an ignorance to the cost, both physical and financial, of generating energy is something that teachers and parents must begin to incorporate into the education of children. Putting on women's knitwear or a second pair of socks is no longer the natural instinct when we feel cold; we reach for the central heating dial. Until this problem is routed, we will come up against repeated difficulties in practicing what we preach.
One final idea towards a doctrine of thoughtful energy use is that we need to do away with guilt – the guilt that we will be found out for not having already solved our problems prevents us from being honest with ourselves and being open to new solutions: do away with the guilt and we can start to forge something better as we welcome changes and react to them more quickly, instead of sweeping our problems under the carpet. Take the time to read up on what's available to you, and don't forget the warm clothes in the meantime.
