• [1] Sort your waste!
  

  Sort your waste is a good first step in an ecological attitude. The different types of waste (plastic, metal, cardboard ...) are treated differently to ensure maximum recycling. In mixing you don't allow the recycling of waste and thus participate in the pollution of the planet!



• [2] Control your power consumption!
  

  2/3 of the electricity is consumed by households from the appliance. In choosing your best equipment you can reduce your impact on the environment. Look at the class to which your device is classified (A to F), so choose the best!



• [3] Turn off your lights!
  

  Attention to the waste of energy: the lights on for no reason, appliances on standby, radiators on when you're not the house... so much waste that don't have to exist! Feel free to install multiprises with interupter to easily switch to shut off appliances that are not in use!



• [4] Carpooling, an environmentally friendly solution!
  

  You are not working away from your home? In good weather, take your bike ... enjoy the landscape and moreover you do a little exercise for good health! If your office is too far, try to limit the number of vehicle traffic and prefer the carpool for spending less and polluting less at the same time ... Otherwise, use public transportation as often as possible!



• [5] New energy
  

  Nature offers many environmental and sustainable energy and why not enjoyed it! It may be time to think about installing solar panels, water collectors ... as acting as an eco-citizen you'll save money! Many solutions now allow a household to produce his own energy and even to sell!
