4 Quick Tips for Green Living
Figuring out the best way to live a “green” life can be one of the toughest obstacles. At times it may seem like the task is insurmountable, with new tools, life “hacks,” and tips coming out almost daily. But there are a few ways to make small changes in your life and around your home to help you get started.
Cut Down on Energy Usage
Unplug devices when you aren’t using them. Things like TVs and computers draw energy even when they are not turned on. Unplugging even a few items around your home may help cut down on energy usage and decrease your monthly bill. Want to do even more? Adjusting your home’s temperature settings when you’re away can also cut down on energy consumption.
Try Meatless Mondays
Made famous by Michael Pollen in The Omnivore’s Dilemma, reducing the amount of meat you eat is another way to live a more environmentally-friendly life. You don’t have to go full-vegan, or even vegetarian, to help. Meatless Mondays are a way to cut back on your meat consumption without entirely changing your diet. Cutting meat out of your diet for one day a week helps cut down on water usage, reduces greenhouse gases, and reduces fuel dependency — and it’s happening worldwide. Try foods like pasta, soup or salad, or substitute meat with something like mushrooms or beans in one of your favorite dishes.
DIY Green Cleaners
The chemicals found in many cleaning products are not only bad for the environment — they’re not great for you or your pets. For an alternative cleaning solution, try mixing one part white, distilled vinegar with three parts water. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant, and is also great at combatting odors. If you can’t handle the vinegary scent, however, you can mix in your favorite essential oils to give your green cleaning solution a custom flourish.
Use Eco-Friendly Products
Many of those always-on devices have eco-friendly settings these days, and the Airmega is no exception. In “smart eco mode,” Airmega will reduce the fan speed and power consumption when the air remains clean for 10 minutes or more. This means you can still enjoy Airmega’s smart sensing functionality without unnecessary energy consumption.
Coway Air Purifiers: Supporting Your Eco-Friendly Lifestyle
As you make efforts to live a more environmentally-friendly life, it's essential to consider the products you use in your home. Coway air purifiers are designed with eco-friendliness in mind, making them an excellent choice for those looking to reduce their environmental impact while maintaining a healthy indoor environment.
Energy Efficiency
Coway air purifiers, like the Airmega, feature smart eco mode, which automatically reduces fan speed and power consumption when the air remains clean for 10 minutes or more. This intelligent feature ensures that the air purifier is not using unnecessary energy, helping you cut down on your energy usage and lower your monthly bills.
Sustainable Materials
Coway is committed to using sustainable materials in their products whenever possible. For example, some Coway air purifiers use filters made from bamboo, a highly renewable and biodegradable resource. By choosing products made with sustainable materials, you can reduce your environmental footprint and support eco-friendly manufacturing practices.
Long-Lasting Filters
Coway air purifiers are designed with long-lasting filters, which means you won't need to replace them as frequently. This not only saves you money in the long run but also reduces waste generated from discarded filters. When it is time to replace your filters, Coway offers a recycling program in some regions, ensuring that your used filters are disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
By using a Coway air purifier, you can significantly improve the air quality in your home, reducing the need for harsh chemical cleaners. With fewer pollutants and allergens in the air, you may find that you need to clean less frequently, which means using fewer cleaning products and minimizing your exposure to potentially harmful chemicals.
Compatibility with Your Eco-Friendly Lifestyle
As you make changes to live a greener life, such as trying Meatless Mondays or creating DIY green cleaners, a Coway air purifier can complement your efforts. By providing clean, healthy air in your home, you can create a more comfortable and inviting environment for yourself and your family, supporting your overall well-being and eco-friendly lifestyle.
Investing in a Coway air purifier is a simple yet effective way to demonstrate your commitment to the environment while ensuring that you and your loved ones are breathing clean, healthy air.

3Aerosol test conducted in a Biosafety level 3 laboratory with two Coway air purifier models, Coway Airmega 250 and 400 for removal of SARS-CoV-2 Aerosol by US based MRI Global, a not-for-profit laboratory and partner of US Department of Defense. The test was conducted in a 13.1ft3 chamber. Virus was aerosolized for 15 minutes and the product was turned on high for 2 minutes. Result showed each product effectively removed over 99.98% of the SARS-CoV-2 in 2 minutes. This is a result from a laboratory experiment condition and result may vary in different conditions. This result does not imply it kills SARS-CoV-2 or prevents the transmission of Covid-19. Coway Airmega 250S and 400S are identical to the tested models and has equal performance with an additional mobile connectivity function.

5The coverage area of the air purifier is based on an area where the air cleaner can make two air changes per hour (ACPH). An air change per hour translates to how many times an air purifier can clean an area, assuming the height of a ceiling to be 8 ft, in one hour. Therefore ** means two air changes per hour means that the cleaner can clean the area once every 30 minutes and * means air changes per hour means that the air purifier can clean the area once every 60 minutes.
