Living in a green and clean way is often easier said than done. There are some practical steps you can take to get there.

1. Upgrade Insulation

The amount of power you use to heat your home will have a big impact on the size of your carbon footprint. But you can use a lot less power by upgrading the insulation in your home.

I want to redecorate our living room and I’m planning to go for a kind of Morrocan inspired, a bit boho but still modern style.
