How does Carolyn Scott suggest making eco-friendly lifestyle changes at home?

Hi, I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton from The Healthy Voyager. At home, I focus on eco-friendly changes that are practical, budget-aware, and good for your health.

Some of my favorite suggestions include:

• Choosing sustainable flooring like reclaimed wood, cork, or bamboo instead of wall-to-wall carpet
• Improving insulation, windows, and adding forest-friendly shutters to cut energy waste
• Using renewable energy where possible (solar, geothermal, or even small solar setups)
• Upgrading to energy-efficient appliances and always turning them fully off, not on standby
• Reducing water waste with modern low-flush toilets, greywater systems, and rainwater collection
• Cutting kitchen waste with water filters instead of bottled water, composting, and avoiding overbuying
• Watching your shopping habits, avoiding unnecessary gadgets, and limiting packaging-heavy online orders

Is there a particular room or habit at home you’d like to make more eco-friendly first?
