Let's face it, there is no planet B! No second home for our future generations to come. The planet that we live on today will be the planet that others live on tomorrow. It is crucial that we care for and maintain it. I often come across many who are not eco conscious, and are not aware of the enormous harm one person can cause our planet. Even worse, they are not aware of the greater impact that one little human can make to help our planet! The little things that we do today can go a LONG way tomorrow!
The Eco Friendly campaign has been very prominent in the past few years and will only keep growing from there. I decided that I wanted to contribute a little more to environment by sharing some of the practices that I implement to lead to a healthier living for the planet. I have listed 5 different ways in which you can reduce your waste and become more Environmentally Friendly.
1. STOP Littering!
The easiest yet most stubborn practice that most do. It is not hard to put your trash where it belongs. If you see it on the floor PICK IT UP! Inform yourself on what items can be recycled, composted, or belongs in the trash. I have found that by keeping a small garbage can in my car has helped when getting rid of waste.
Here are some of my favorite car trash cans.
2. Switch to reusable straws
"Its only one straw" said eight million people. The most popular slogan. Switching to reusable straws is actually a lot easier than what you make think. Saying no to a straw and popping out my reusable straw at food places makes me feel so warm on the inside everytime I do.
Here are some of my favorite straws.
3. Switch to reusable Produce Bags and Shopping Bags
Eliminate your plastic waste everytime you shop by investing in reusable bags. Keeping half in your car and half at home this will help you remember to take them with you everytime you shop.
Here are some of my favorite reusable bags.
4. Switch to compostable Cutlery
Plastic cutlery is mostly always used once and thrown away. Keeping some in your handbag, car, home, or at work will help you reduce this waste when eating out and at home.
Here are some of my favorite compostable Cutlery.
5. Use reusable water bottles and coffee cups
Single-use water bottles and coffee cups account for a large amount of waste produced in a day. The concept of convenient use for plastic water bottles has become very damaging for not only our environment, but for the thousand of animals sharing it with us. Using reusable cups comes with the convenience of use and are environmentally friendly. Many people drink coffee on a daily basis, so what better way to save a couple of cents and get your daily cup of coffee when switching to reusable cups.
Here are some of my favorite reusable bottles and cups.
Of course there are many more ways on how you can reduce your waste, but these are just a few to help you get started. Don't be afraid, by being more conscious of how you use your resources, big or small, can help tomorrow. I am not perfect when it comes to being eco friendly, but I am definitely working on it to improve and do a lot more. Start somewhere! Reduce your environmental footprint!
