Eco Hacks for Your Home: Small Changes, Big Impact

At Not Labeled, we’ve always believed that sustainability is more than just a trend, it’s a way of life. And while our roots are in conscious fashion, living a greener life truly starts at home, with small everyday habits anyone can adopt.

🌿 Why Make Your Home More Eco-Friendly?
Your home has a bigger impact than you might think. In fact, residential energy use accounts for about 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Plus, the average household generates hundreds of pounds of waste each year.

But here’s the good news: making small changes at home can reduce energy use, save money, and shrink your carbon footprint. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about moving forward, one step at a time.

⚡ 5 Easy Habits to Save Energy

1. Switch to LED bulbs: They use up to 80% less energy and last longer.
   

2. Unplug devices or use smart power strips: Avoid phantom energy drain.
   

3. Wash with cold water: It saves energy and protects your clothes.
   

4. Use natural light and airflow: More wellness, less electricity.
   

5. Adjust your thermostat by 1–2 degrees: Small change, big results.
   
   

💡 Bonus Tip: Wear comfy, breathable pieces like our Not Labeled loungewear to stay cool without blasting the AC.

🛍️ Less Waste at Home, More Intention in Every Choice
The golden rule: Reduce, Reuse, and then Recycle in that order. Here are a few ideas:

• Ditch disposables: Swap for reusable cloths, beeswax wraps, and silicone bags.
  

• Buy in bulk or from refill stations.
  

• Give items a second life: Jars, old tees, packaging, get creative.
  

• Start composting: There are great options even for small spaces.
  
  

🧼 At Not Labeled, we apply these same values to every product—from our compostable packaging to how we design timeless collections built to last.
