A staggering 80% of carbon emissions arise from the production and consumption of our everyday purchases. This means that the average American is responsible for 16 tons of carbon emissions, which is eightfold of what is considered sustainable. However, we can all contribute to lowering these numbers by reducing our individual carbon footprints.
Making a conscious decision regarding what products you purchase, their origin, and how you discard items you no longer need at your home or workplace can significantly reduce your carbon footprint.
There’s a wide spectrum of choices available that can tip the scale towards an eco-friendlier lifestyle.
Thanks to the collaborative efforts of Habitat for Humanity of Summit and Wasatch Counties’ ReStore, over 620 tons of waste is successfully redirected from local landfills. This initiative not only serves the environment but also contributes to the funding of affordable housing for local families in Summit and Wasatch Counties.
BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO YOUR HOME
The Park City ReStore warehouse hosts a range of new and gently used furniture, artwork, lighting, home décor, kitchenware, and appliances at a stunning discount of 50-90% off retail prices. This makes reinventing your living space or your entire house an affordable option.
Furthermore, building materials donated by contractors and homeowners mean you can enhance your house’s external aesthetic appeal or transform your kitchen with a new set of cabinets.
One of the greatest conveniences is that furniture donors can utilize Habitat for Humanity’s pickup services to save on fuel, money, and time while giving their items a second chance in a new home.
It’s a double victory with minimised carbon footprint and a revamped look for your home.
