Earth Day: Products and Initiatives for a Better World

Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22. Unofficially, since 1970, when millions of people celebrated Earth Day for the first time in America, and officially since 2009, with the help of the United Nations (UN).

Do you want to make a difference for Earth Day? Being part of the good done to our planet is easier than you think!

There are a lot of environmentally friendly products, available at NVC Trading store in Siggiewi and on the nvctrading.com website, but also a lot of activities or gestures that are as simple as they are important for the Planet. Let’s see how much you can do with a little!

1. Consume less electricity

We come to your aid:

• Washing machine optimization options (temperature / time)
• Use of natural light for as long as possible
• Unplugging appliances when not used for more than one day
• Energy-saving light bulbs
• Solar panels

These gestures and products are not only nature friendly, but also bring you smaller bills. Visit our shop for economical water heating and lighting bulbs with a 5-year, 15,000-hour warranty.

2. Consume less water

For example:

• Turn off the water while brushing your teeth
• Take quick showers more often than long baths
• Use a scheduled irrigation system instead of manual watering
• Choose water-saving faucets for basins, sinks, tubs, and showers

Check our selection of shower heads that bring you between 30% and 65% water savings for each use.

3. Protect the earth

Both literally and figuratively—use organic fertilizers instead of chemical ones for your lawn, garden, and plants.

4. Improve air quality

Try:

• Keeping purifying houseplants
• Planting shrubs and trees
• Using certified products that do not emit harmful substances

We offer Sigma white washable paint, eco-certified, and a wide selection of tools to maintain your garden.

5. Buy products with a higher warranty

Because this way you don’t throw them away or replace them often—reducing waste and pollution. Most of the brands at our shop feature:

• Batteries with a 10-year warranty
• Parquet with warranties between 15 and 25 years

6. Support recycling

Choose decorations and products made from recycled materials like:

• Glass
• Paper
• Textiles

They look great and are good for the environment.

7. Buy FSC-certified wood products

FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council. It guarantees that the wood is from responsibly managed forests.

At NVC Trading, most of our furniture is not only FSC certified, but made from 100% recycled wood.

8. Choose eco-friendly cleaning products

Yes, they work just as well! Pass by our shop and we’ll recommend eco-friendly cleaning solutions that suit your needs.

In summary, it’s really easy to do good for our Planet Earth while doing good for yourself and your home. Small choices make a big difference.

Happy Earth Day from all of us at NVC Trading!
