With Independence Day sales and two Prime Days this year, July is proving to be a month full of deals. This year, Prime Day will take up two days, July 12 and 13. That’s two times the opportunities to save big on home essentials. Some smart home items on sale connect to your mobile phone to make your home convenient and modern while reducing electricity use. Other discounted gardening items can help you tap into your green thumb.

Here are some easy ways to upgrade your home in a sustainable way without straining your wallet:

Smart thermostat

This product is good for the environment and good for your wallet. During the hottest months of the year, a smart home thermostat can keep you cool while saving you up to 10-15% on yearly energy bills. These smart thermostats use wifi to keep you comfortable in any weather and are programmable to your daily habits. Simple changes around the house can also help lower your bill, like closing your blinds during the day or using a ceiling fan.

Google Nest retail price: $129.99 (Prime members: $99.99)

Amazon Smart Thermostat retail price: $59.99 (Prime members: $41.99)

Kindle bundle deals

A Kindle is an entire library in the palm of your hand. By purchasing a new book online on an e-reader, you are reducing the CO2 emissions needed to make and transport a single paper book. A Kindle would be the perfect gift for any students in the family, and help them reduce their carbon footprint (making a textbook produces more than double the CO2 emissions of a regular-sized book.) If you still prefer physical copies, visit a secondhand bookstore. Or, you know, just go to the library for free.

Retail price: From $134.97 (Prime members: $67.97)

Air purifier

Others pair with Amazon’s Alexa for voice control. Coway air purifiers can reduce volatile organic compounds and fumes in the air, and some include a washable permanent filter to reduce buying single-use filters. This smart air purifier comes with a pollution sensor to test indoor air quality in real-time.
