Green Loans and Its Benefits

It is all about getting green and being supported by the government – Green Loans Household sustainability report is promoted and subsidized by Australian government to help each Australian living more efficiently, reducing carbon footprint and saving money in a long-term way.
A household sustainability assessment program is available to renters and home owners and provides you the house holder with a free report that provides insights into the ecological impacts of existing homes, identifies cost effective ways to reduce those impacts and empowers you to actively reduce them by changing your lifestyle and living behaviours and retrofitting or upgrading household appliances.
The goal is simple - to reduce environmental emissions and depletions from housing to deliver sustainable outcomes for future generations.
The report focuses on the way you live, interact and how you use your appliances as well as water and energy usage at home. These include subsequent emission and proper waste recycling. The 3 Rs are involved, reduce, reuse and recycle.


As with our previous articles, a simple change of practice on how we use our appliances like refrigerators, air conditioning, heaters, and television, could give us a big impact in saving energy costs with as much as 10-20% and automatic subsequent reduction in green house emissions.
Many other simple changes can be made that provide equal benefits to users and the environment such as with a solar hot water system. By converting or upgrading to a solar hot water system, you could get up to 70% of your hot water for free.
A simple change to boiling water with an electric kettle or gas cooker generates about half as much greenhouse gas as a microwave oven or an electric stove.
Carbon footprint can be reduced if you have the knowledge or seek knowledge of an expert on this field through installing insulation in your ceiling and of course government is there to help you with the grants they offer.
It is a fact that an un-insulated ceiling could waste up to 35% of winter heating and un-insulated walls waste another 10 to 20%. In summer, you could be gaining the same amount of heat when you want to keep cool.
If you buy appliances with more stars on the energy rating label, the more stars means the more efficient the appliance is.
