Maintaining any new habit or lifestyle begins at home and sustainable living is no exception. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, organic pollutant (VOC) levels are 2 to 5 times higher inside the home than outside, originating from common household items like cleansers and disinfectants. Our homes can also be a huge source of domestic waste with 26 million tonnes being produced in the UK each year. While transforming your home into an eco-haven might feel daunting, there are some easy swaps we can all make to live better for ourselves and for the planet:

• reduce, reuse and recycle plastic waste or swap for reusable alternatives
• opt for environmentally-friendly, recyclable, and toxin-free cleaning products
• swap polluting paraffin candles for all-natural plant-wax candles
• Choose organic home textiles; from bedding to bath towels
