We all know how important trees are- they provide us with oxygen, help combat climate change, and are just all-around good for the environment. But did you know that there are things you can do on a daily basis to help save trees? Here are some tips for a greener lifestyle that will help keep our planet healthy and happy:
1. Bring your own bags to the grocery store. Every year, billions of plastic bags are used and thrown away- many of which end up in our oceans and cause harm to marine life. Bring your own reusable bags to the store to cut down on plastic waste.
2. Recycle paper products. Instead of throwing away used paper products, recycle them! You can bring them to a local recycling center or even just put them in your own home recycling bin.
3. Don’t print unnecessarily. We’re all guilty of printing out emails or articles that we don’t really need- but every sheet of paper that you use comes from a tree. Whenever possible, try to read things electronically to save paper.
4. Plant a tree. This one is a no-brainer- planting trees helps to replace the ones that have been lost or cut down. You can plant a tree in your own backyard, or even donate to organizations that plant trees around the world.
By following these simple tips, you can help make a difference for the environment and do your part to save trees.
