Populations worldwide are growing increasingly. Most people suffered because of poverty. I observed that our earth natural resources are limited. I very much appreciated the way natives showed their eco-friendly lifestyle. The natives built a eco-friendly house doing their bit to save the planet. I saw their house was made from donated and free materials. Most of the products which are used are also recyclable and renewable products such as bamboo. I was impressed of the table they used it was an old table of sewing machine. The cabinets for their clothes was an out of order refrigerator. But by far the most interesting feature was their eco-friendly toilet which looks out over the jungle. For me,it was an eco-friendly toilet with a view. In your own ways, how can you have an eco-friendly house?

   In the UK, it's pretty much impossible to think of having an eco-friendly home in terms of how things are arranged, built or setup. Very few of us are building our own homes, so what we can do is think about how to renovate in an eco-friendly manner.
   
   Using eco-friendly paints, for example, is a good place to start. Using recycled newspaper for insulation is another. Install sun-pipes, make full use of your recycling facilities, setup a compost heap, fit draught-exluders, get your boiler serviced.
   
   In short - it's the little things that you cna do in the UK that make a difference. Update the services in your house and you'll save money too.
