Earth Day may have come and gone, but that’s no reason to stop your efforts to “greenify” your living space. Believe it or not, even apartment dwellers can find ways to live a green lifestyle without making major modifications to their living space.

Don’t believe us? Here’s three simple tricks to use around your apartment, courtesy of TLC Home, that help save water and energy:

●      Displace water in your toilet tank by getting a plastic bottle, filling it with gravel, and placing it in your toilet tank. That’s it! You can leave this for the next tenant so they can continue saving water as well.

●      Use CFL Bulbs, which save a lot of energy, whenever possible. (Also, turn off lights when you are not in the room. It’s simple but effective!)

●      Pay attention to your fridge. Keep its compressor coils clean to ensure your energy bill stays low and that you’re using as little electricity as possible. Another thing you can do is line your fridge with water jugs to keep it full and colder. It sounds silly, but it can save a lot of energy!
