Go Green Tips!!
Avoid Plastic!!!!
An easy way to start a more sustainable lifestyle is by avoiding or eliminating single-use plastics and invest in reusable products like water bottles, coffee mugs, beeswax food wraps, canvas shopping bags, and sustainable eating utensils, which help reduce plastic use and saves you money in the long term.
Reduce Food Wastage..
Thirty to 40 percent of the U.S. food supply ends up as waste, and the largest category of items that end up in landfills, according to the US Food & Drug Administration. Not only is that hazardous to the environment (producing methane as it rots in landfills and contributing to climate change), it’s also a lost opportunity to feed those in need.
Soda cans, paper products, and some plastics are recyclable through your city or town. Have some old T-shirts that even thrift stores don’t want? Cut them up into dish rags to use instead of buying paper towels.
Recycle
Only 3 percent of the Earth’s water is freshwater, and less than 1 percent is safe for drinking, according to the US Bureau of Reclamation. Conserving this natural resource is essential not only for the health of humans, animals, and plants, but it’s also beneficial for the environment reducing water usage saves energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions needed to clean that water.
