Take Action in the Home

Our homes are often the centre for our lives, or at least places where we spend a lot of time. We need water, transportation to get around, energy, building materials, food and many other things that depend on resources to do this comfortably. Making changes in our homes represents a powerful opportunity to reap the benefits of sustainability:

• Save money over both the short-and long-term by making it more resource-efficient
• Become more comfortable in your home as you create a healthier, more energy ef­ficient space
• Increase the resale value of your home
• Minimise your impact on Waiheke’s natural landscape and resources
• Help reduce the effect of climate change
• Contribute to Waiheke’s reputation for being a model of sustainability
