The climate and greenery of Bangalore make it such a lovely city to call our home. Even as the city continues to see a steady rise in commercial activity, Bangaloreans cherish and resonate with the natural beauty around all of them.

From eco-friendly citizen initiatives and environment-centric business practices to real estate in Bangalore, the city is contributing to a greener tomorrow, and of course, there is a lot more we can do!

Whether you are living in a luxury apartment in Whitefield near ITPL or a 2 BHK in Gunjur off Sarjapur, these easy, simple steps will not take too much out of you, but instead have a positive impact on the environment.

1.Light a brighter future

Apart from remembering to turn off the lights (and other electrical appliances) when we leave a room, making use of natural light as much as possible is a great way to reduce our electricity consumption. This means we should delay turning on the lights and open the curtains to allow natural light to do its thing.

2.Say bye to plastic bags and boxes

Switch to cloth bags for all your grocery and shopping needs. Even when you are picking up food from a restaurant near your apartment builders in Bangalore, try carrying boxes from your house to pack the food in.

3.Carry a bottle wherever you go

Minimise your need to buy plastic bottles when you are on the move and carry water bottles from home. This helps you save money, time, and the planet!

4.Wash with cold water

Try reducing your usage of hot water at home. Heating water is a considerable consumption of electricity and can be avoided, especially while washing your clothes.
Whenever possible, try bathing with cold water as well.

5.Pay bills online

Our lives are filled with bills – from your phone and internet bills to electricity and water bills. Start paying the bills online wherever you can. Not only will this make your life easier, but it will also minimise paper use.

6.Cloth in the kitchen

Reduce your use of paper towels and napkins in the kitchen. Cloth products last longer and are cost-effective, apart from being eco-friendly. To further save money as well as the planet, you can reuse old clothes, bedsheets, and other fabric for all your kitchen and cleaning needs.

7.Travel less, travel together

Minimise your travel as much as possible. Bangalore is a big city and we are always on the move, but where you live plays a big role here too. Look for a home that gives you everything you need along with fabulous connectivity. From 2 & 3 BHK flats in horamavu main road to super-spacious apartments for sale near hope farm junction, we at DSR have a variety of flagship projects in prime locations across Bangalore. Get more time to live life and spend less time on travel, all while making your family and our planet happier!
Carpooling and increased use of public transport are great individual steps we can take.

8.Reuse -> Recycle

Recycling is extremely beneficial for the environment, but ensure you re-use an item/object however possible before you send them for recycling.

9.Don’t throw what you can fix

We have gotten so used to buying things that we do not even try fixing things that can quite easily be fixed. Repairing something is better for the planet and can also save you some money compared to buying an entirely new thing.

10.Save water

This is the most overheard yet undervalued tip to live an eco-friendly life. Ensure to use water wisely. Turn off the tap in between brushing and bathing. Keep an eye out for leaky taps and faucets. Collect rainwater to water your plants. Be responsible when it comes to your water consumption.
