After a year of seeking refuge and facing isolation due to the pandemic, we're all seeking renewal this spring.

Sustainable and healthy home living is on the minds of everyone today. Here are some ideas for a healthier home life. Use earth-friendly fibers and sustainable textiles that are grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Try cotton, hemp, or sisal. Go for one-of-a-kind vintage and antique furniture, art, and decor to repurpose and to decorate your home. Decorate with natural materials like wool, Shoot. Paint using non-toxic finishes like low VOC paints. Hang laundry to dry. It saves energy. Opt for eco-friendly detergent. Go cold to save energy. Wash your clothes in cold water. Use FSC certified, recycled or upcycled when you purchase new. Check your technology. Set your devices to low power mode and turn off lights when you leave a room. Lower your electric bill, open a window to cool a room and hang blackout curtains to help curb energy use. Build a greenhouse to grow fresh herbs and vegetables. It not only saves trips to the grocery store, but it's renewable. For small spaces, assemble a mini plant wall in a sunny corner on a shelf.
