It's easy to get overwhelmed by all the things we can do (or aren’t doing) to help the environment, let’s take it one step at a time. We’ve compiled some simple ideas with a big impact that are easy for anyone to implement or at least try!
GO VEGETARIAN FOR A DAY
With animal agriculture being one of the leading causes of climate change, going vegetarian for just ONE day a week can make a huge difference. It takes anywhere from 1500 to 2000 gallons of water to make just one pound of beef.
INVEST A IN A REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE AND / OR COFFEE CUP
When you’re constantly on the go, we often forget how much waste builds up with that daily (or sometimes multiple times a day) coffee run.
COMPOST
Give your garden a good breakfast; coffee grounds and eggshells are ideal for composting.
REMEMBER YOUR OWN GROCERY BAGS
Keep a tightly rolled up reusable tote (or two) in your handbag / work/ Gym bag. That way, you can be ready for any impromptu grocery shopping.
SWITCH YOUR LIGHTBULBS
Switching from traditional incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescent lightbulbs (C.F.L.) will make your household more energy-efficient and could even save you money each month.
THE MORE THE MERRIER
Large quantities of food use less packaging than the same quantity in individual portions (and take less energy to cook).
