Being eco-friendly is getting more and more innovative by the passing day. And yes, you can begin charity at home. Agreed you already trash the garbage in the recycling station and that you prefer to walk that smoke up the environment but here’s something that you can do to your home and be kind to nature.

Dirt floors! Yes, after discussing about recycled wood and cork as suitable floor options, there is another kind that will have minimal impact on the environment. Having a dirt floor is quite simple too. Mix some dirt with fibers like straw and stabilize it with natural oils to get the raw material for the floor. In comparison to concrete, dirt floor reduces the embodied energy by 90%. On top of that, it falls very light on your pocket and gives a rural but attractive finish to your abode.

However, one must also point at the demerits. The dirt floor needs high maintenance because it can easily be scratched. Also, such floors can be installed by a very few contractors.
