How can you show love and respect to mother nature today, on earth day or even daily? How can YOU be less of the problem and more of the solution?
Here are just a few easy to apply suggestions:
- Eat less meat and animal products
- Eat local and seasonal organic fruits and vegetables
- Save money and energy by consuming less electricity when ever possible.
- Buy a refillable stainless steel bottle or keep refilling any water bottle you have and stop buying plastic bottles. Refill, Reuse and Rehydrate!
- Reuse anything you can at least once, such as plastic or paper shopping bags.
- Recycle your waste (paper, glass, steel, plastic) and compost anything plant based that was living at one time such as greens, leaves, vegetables and fruit.
- Ride a bike or walk where ever you can. Better for you, better for all!
- Use pure and organic cleaning products and cosmetics.
- Limit the length of your shower. Shower in colder water as it is better for your hair, skin and blood circulation too and only wash your towels after several uses.
- Travel green by choosing public transportation and hotels that care about the environment and unplug your own home electronics (chargers, DVD players etc. and turn your thermostat off/down before you leave.)
And just keep these 3 in mind as a green slogan for yourself:
Reduce- Reuse - Recycle
Happy Earth Day!
