Sustainability Tips

Choose Energy Star Appliances

When buying new appliances, look for products with high energy star ratings. These appliances are more efficient, resulting in savings on your energy bill over the life of the appliance. When considering the price of a new appliance take into account not only the purchase price but also the long-term savings associated with an energy-efficient appliance.

Reduce Water Use

Frasers Property Australia homes have many water saving features including water efficient taps and shower heads. You can also help reduce water use by keeping your showers to four minutes or less.

Transport

Environmental responsibility does not begin and end at your doorstep. Green transportation such as walking, bicycling and public transport can greatly reduce your transport costs, carbon emissions, while improving your health. Burwood Brickworks has a fully integrated shared path network promoting travel without the need for automobiles. Make sure you check it out and who knows, you might not even need your car at all.
