​Now that we know Climate Change, its causes and effects, what can we do now? I will explain to you, from the heart of BluHomes.
 

1. Open your windows and use natural ventilation to reduce your use of air conditioning, the biggest consumer of energy
2. Regularly clean your aircon filters to sustain its efficiency and no energy is wasted
3. Use energy-efficient appliances like inverter-type aircon and washing machine to reduce your energy consumption

5. Install window covers to reduce the heat inside your home and reduce your use of air conditioning
6. Do not use water heater too much when showering

10. Use clothesline instead of drying machines
11. Use automatic voltage regulators to reduce energy fluctuations and phantom loads
12. Do some of your activities outdoors like playing and jogging
13. Walk, bike, or use public transport in going places to reduce emissions coming from your vehicles

4. Avoid single-use plastic. Instead, use reusable eco-bags, stainless staw, reusable meal containers and utensils
5. Use cotton rags instead of paper towels to reduce your waste
6. Use bamboo products because they are much more highly renewable compare to other types of wood

9. Conserve water. Turn off your faucets when it is not being used
10. Use dual flush toilets, low-flow faucets, and low-flow shower heads to reduce water consumption
11. Fix your leaking faucets to reduce wasted water
