We take
environmentalism very seriously here at William Thompson & Sons. It’s why
we sell recycled aggregates from our quarry to ensure we’re as green as
possible. However, there are a number of changes we can all make in our daily
lives. Read on to find out more.
Eat As Locally as Possible and Think About
Packaging
Sourcing the
food you buy from local sources will help you to reduce your own personal
carbon footprint. Big supermarkets get their food from all around the world,
which means fumes from trucks and planes. However, by buying local, the food
you eat will have travelled less far. Therefore, there will be less pollution
attached to its distribution. Local food tastes better too!
Start a Compost Pile
If you have
a garden and you grow vegetables of plants, a compost pile can help them to
become more happy and healthy! Starting your own compost pile is simple and
means that you can reuse materials you would normally just chuck out into the
bin. You’ll save money on shop-bought compost as well! What’s not to like?
Be Clued Up on Your Energy Usage
By being
more aware of the energy you use in your home, you can really easily make a
difference. Have a look around your home. Are there any appliances not being
used but still switched on? Are all of your bulbs incandescent rather than
fluorescent or LED? By simply being more aware of the energy you’re consuming
you can make changes that will reduce your bills and make you more
eco-friendly.
Use Recycled Aggregates in Construction and DIY
Projects
Finally, if
you’re planning a construction or DIY project in the future, always buy
recycled aggregates from a local quarry. Using this material will greatly
reduce the environmental impact of your construction project - it will also be
cheaper!
