I'm writing this to ask a question. My carbon footprint isn't exactly huge, but some things have made me doubt whether my own choices are even accurate.

For example, how could I reduce my light consumption if it's dark when the sun goes down? Would using candles help? If I use candles, my expenses would increase, wouldn't they?

Besides needing some recycling tips, I'm running out of ideas on how to recycle things without throwing them away.

Hello! I have some recycling tips for you. If you have old clothes you want to get rid of you can donate them. Also another thing I love to do is cut up parts of the clothes such as turning jeans into shorts, its a great way to make a pair of something you already have into something new!

To reduce your light consumption if it's dark you can use energy-efficient light bulbs they use less energy and cost less. Yes candles can work but they can also get messy and many more. You can recycle any thing plastic that you use and clothes that you may not wear or can't fit anymore.

I think that using a candle would be smart from time to time when the sun goes down and a tip for a recycling that involves candles would be to use Glass jars and bottles to make candle holders, vases, or for storing dry goods. You can also turn them into reed diffusers.

If you are worried about your carbon footprint growing from your lights, a great way to lower it is L.E.D. lights. L.E.D. light bulbs use up to 75% less energy than incandescent light bulbs. On top of that they could help you save up to $300 a year on electricity.

Sorry, I just noticed you're from Spain so I'm not exactly sure how much you would actually save on electricity. Though it is still more efficient than other light bulbs types, so take it as you will.
