Renewable energy is the buzz word of the new century. It is vital that we take notice of our unsustainable dependance on limited energy sources. When it comes to our own, individual responsibility, it begins in our own home. Aside from minimising or removing the use of noxious chemical based products, which are largly responsible for the continued abuse of existing energies and our deteriorating health, choices made around the home appliances and bathroom features are also hugely important. Consider for a moment your water boiler. Is it operating at a decent power usage? Odds are that electrical boilers of yesteryear are not as energy efficient as those now available.
Go ahead and check yours. Also interesting is the potential to design your bathroom with less power consumption in mind. Shower doors are no longer essential to bathrooms when the bathroom is designed as a wet room. This saves on materials otherwise used in the millions in every home in the developed world. Towel rails are always nice warm, but do we really need them on everyday? The same with radiators and air conditioners. Lets not be afraid to feel the actual ambient temperature as nature intended, occasionally at least! I have been witness to the future in Bathroom Suites and am pleasantly surprised at the standard of eco-conscience there is out there, particularly in the high end markets. It seems that it not only makes the planet healthier but also the users well being to be in a environmentally friendly space while cleansing your body of the harsh days waste. Bathroom furniture made of recycled trees and rocks make an impressive statement when used for a bathroom in luxury or on a budget. Think outside the box. A bathroom is a space for us to recharge our own energy and step out into the world fresh and inspired to make this planet better for our children's children.
