While only 3 out of 10 (27%) claim to have renovated their home to achieve a more energy efficient home, only 3 out of 10 (27%) claim to have renovated their home to make it more energy efficient. &#8211;<em>Study &#8216;Home and sustainability: reality or desire&#8217; (developed by the insurer Mutua de Propietarios and Leroy Merlin).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Silestone Institute&#8217;s Global Kitchen Study\n(2017-2019) also provides interesting data:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>35.4%\nof those surveyed correctly separate waste.<\/li><li>21.6%\nuse less plastic.<\/li><li>16%\nreuse more than a few years ago.<\/li><li>14.2%\nhave reduced energy consumption.<\/li><li>12.7%\nhave reduced water consumption.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is therefore a question of thinking not only about\nrenovations that make homes more sustainable but also that, in the construction\nof new buildings, more ecological methods are used that take into account the\nreuse and recycling of materials at the end of their useful life, as well as taking\ninto account the importance of good thermal insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No less important, as the Global Kitchen Study\nindicates, is the need to be more sustainable in our daily actions and choices\nin our homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can we help take care of the environment in our\ndaily habits?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.
