Simple Eco-Friendly Tips for Your Reside Living Apartment

Energy conservation is essential, and it’s easy to get started. Use smart power strips to cut down on phantom energy use—those sneaky appliances that still draw power when they’re off. One of the many perks of living in a Reside apartment? Natural light is your best friend! Our thoughtfully designed spaces maximize sunlight, so throw open those curtains and let the sun brighten your day, helping you save on electricity. 

2. Get Smart with Recycling

Space might be tight in city apartments, but recycling doesn’t have to be complicated. Create a stylish little nook in your kitchen for sorting recyclables, and be sure to check your local guidelines to recycle like a pro. At Reside Living, we provide easy access to recycling options throughout our communities, helping you stay eco-conscious with ease.

3. Indoor Plants = Fresh Air

Who says living sustainably can’t be stylish? Adding houseplants to your apartment is a fun way to purify the air and spruce up your space. Snake plants, pothos, or even a little herb garden on the windowsill will bring a refreshing vibe to your Reside home. If you have pets, check out some pet-friendly plants like spider plants or Boston ferns to keep your home both green and safe. Plus, they’re low-maintenance—so you can enjoy that fresh air without much effort!

4. BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag!)

Quick trips to the market are part of city living, so why not keep some reusable bags handy? They’re sturdy, stylish, and cut down on plastic waste. Plus, you’ll avoid Chicago’s bag tax while making an eco-friendly choice. Make it a habit to bring your own bags when shopping, and you’ll feel great knowing you're helping reduce waste while living in a community that values sustainability, just like you.

5. Water-Wise Living

We know that living sustainably is all about those little changes. Swap long, leisurely showers for quicker, more mindful ones, or consider investing in a water-efficient showerhead to save both water and energy. At Reside Living, we make it easy to maintain an eco-conscious lifestyle, from water-saving amenities to energy-efficient appliances already included in your apartment.

Eco-Friendly Living, Made Easy with Reside

Sustainability isn’t about completely overhauling your lifestyle—it’s about making simple, everyday habits part of your routine. At Reside Living, we believe eco-friendly living can be stylish, convenient, and even fun. So, whether you're soaking up the natural light, tending to your indoor garden, or bringing your reusable bags to the local market, know that you're doing your part for the planet—right from the comfort of your Reside apartment.
