Those who choose to live a sustainable lifestyle will often rely on renewable energy sources- those that do not harm the environment, as a source of power. This can include water, solar, wind or geothermal energy.

 

There are also a number of small changes that can be made in regards to power consumption that will help make a home more energy efficient. Simple things such as changing to energy efficient light bulbs, adjusting temperatures by a few degrees, or simply turning it off, will all contribute to reducing your carbon footprint.
