Sustainable Home
Introduction
We are part of the Earth. Beyond the walls of our physical, man-made homes lies a unique environment perfectly suited for our survival, and ultimately our success. From their beginning, humans have utilized all this environment had to offer in order to thrive – reveling in its plenty, and growing strong on its treasures. As our species evolved, we learned to innovate, all in attempts to improve our quality of life.
Living
When you first enter your home, there’s a high likelihood that you will walk straight into the living area. It’s here that the widest range of activities take place; whether that’s relaxing on the couch as you read a book, catching up on the latest television series, or entertaining visitors. Some of the most memorable occasions I’ve had with family and friends have taken place in our living rooms – it is where we come to gather and socialize.
Kitchen
Feeling that rumble in your tummy? It’s time to head to the kitchen for a bite! Often the place we go to for a quick refuel throughout the day, the kitchen sometimes becomes much more than that: a place to slow down and focus, taking time and care in preparing feasts and nourishment for friends and family. The kitchen not only helps us to recharge, but also to reconnect. I know mine does.

Bedroom
Humans spend roughly one third of their lives asleep; something that, if you’re lucky enough, you will do in your bedroom. But time is also spent here mentally preparing yourself for the day ahead, and generally relaxing. Bedrooms can be a very personal and sacred space, often a sanctuary from the outside world.
Bathroom
Scrub, wash, rinse and repeat. The bathroom gives us a space to cleanse our bodies before the day begins and when it is over. We utilize a plethora of personal care products and plenty of water to take care of ourselves on a routine basis – there’s no denying that the bathroom can be filled with many small rituals to help you feel your best.
Outdoors
As discussed in the introduction to this book, the home is the perfect place to start on your journey to living a more eco lifestyle. We are often very emotionally attached to the personal spaces we cultivate with family and friends, and so it makes sense to start here when caring for the environment.
