As we continue to face the ever present issue of climate change, it is important now more than ever to be conscious of our impact on the environment. We can no longer rely on others to take care of the planet for us – it is time for us to take action. Here are 10 easy ways you can help conserve the environment in your day to day life:
1. Bring your own reusable bags when you go shopping.
2. Avoid using disposable plastic water bottles – invest in a reusable water bottle or filter your own tap water.
3. Bring your own coffee mug to your local coffee shop.
4. Bring your own reusable Tupperware for leftovers or take-out.
5. compost your food scraps.
6. recycling – make sure to recycle everything you can.
7. avoid using paper towels – use a dishcloth or napkin instead.
8. air dry your clothes instead of using the dryer.
9. walk or bike whenever possible.
10. offset your carbon footprint by planting trees or investing in renewable energy.
