Our planet has been experiencing immense change over recent decades, global temperatures are increasing and water levels are rising. Polar ice caps are melting, land is being turned to desert and there is an increase in floods, storms and heat waves. All this is having a catastrophic effect on life on earth.

Well, it starts in the home, and by taking small steps everyday homeowners can lead the way in the fight against climate change. Here are some ways in which homeowners in Thailand can help.
Energy Efficiency
No one will blame anyone for using the amount of energy they need. However, using energy inefficiently is another thing. Unfortunately, most homes in Thailand are not made to be energy efficient. Take heating for example and the analogy of a child going to school. Will a child with a hat, gloves and scarf stay warmer, longer, than the child with no cost, no gloves and no scarf? Of course. A house is the same. Insulation for the home is like a coat for the child. Therefore, it is urged that Thai homeowners insulate their house. It will reduce heating costs in the colder months by lowering the amount of fuel needed. It is a long-term investment that will pay off both financially and societally.

These are simple changes that have a big impact.
