Technology really is a wonderful thing. The use of more modern technology can make the use of electricity and water more efficient. That greater efficiency can permit the use in other areas of life for simply having that lower usage of natural resources.
We live in a finite planet. It has a finite surface area. It has finite resources. Some resources are more finite than others. These are truisms. That truism about these finite factors leads to individual people, per capita, needing to use less resources. We can’t overconsume.
Many of the new washers and dryers of clothing are much more efficient than ones that are decades old. That could be one form of increased efficiency within the household at large. One can buy more efficient dishwashers. It uses less water and less electricity.
One can purchase a new microwave. On average, they will use less energy to cook food. You can buy more efficient light fixtures. Some lights are more efficient and last for more years than some other ones, especially some of the older ones that might possibly last as long but with far less efficiency.
You can update your car. You can purchase a newer car, which means a more efficient vehicle. What about everyone’s favorite time of year, Christmas? All of the lights that people put up on their house can be made into LED lights, for instance. These are extremely efficient lights compared to some others. Those are some minor examples of having a greener lifestyle.
