I’m feeling very passionate about saving the environment right now, so here’s a list of ways you can have an impact.
• Girls, use a menstrual cup or washable pads for your period.
• Parents, use cloth diapers for your babies.
• Shower rather than taking a bath (try to keep it quick).
• Use a low flow shower head.
• Fix your leaky faucet!!
• Buy toilet paper without the tube! (or make sure you recycle the tube!!)
• Use refillable hand soap dispensers.
• Buy local food, farmers markets are amazing.
• Get a good reusable water bottle and use it!
• Use a microwave or toaster oven for small meals.
• Eat less meat (eating vegetarian or vegan one or two days a week really has an impact).
• Use reusable, cloth napkins.
• Turn off the lights, open the blinds!
• Replace your light bulbs with the CFL ones.
• Turn the heat down a couple of degrees and cuddle more.
• Use extension cords and turn them off when you’re not using them or not home!
• Use rugs on your hard wood floors!
• Sleep with your window open instead of using a fan (only if you feel comfortable doing this though, don’t get robbed or anything).
• Set your fan on a timer to turn off once you’ve fallen asleep if you need a fan to sleep like I do.
• If possible, hang your laundry to dry. (bonus you can spend some time outside with the fresh air).
• Use natural cleaners instead of chemicals (vinegar and baking soda).
• Wash your clothes in cold water!
• Use cloths rather than paper towels to clean!
• Compost your food!!
• Plant flowers to attract bee’s (bee’s are good wasps are evil).
• Grow your own food! It’s super fun and you can use your compost that you’re making ;)
• Plant some plants that are native to your area!
• Go into the store rather than going through the drive through.
• If you can, walk/bike/bus rather than driving!
• Bring cloth grocery bags to the store!
• Buy in bulk (for minimal packaging).
• Shop at thrift stores! It’s like an adventure, so much fun.
• Donate unwanted items rather than throwing them out!
• This is a big one (possibly a long term goal): get a hybrid car!
I challenge you to pick between 1-5 things (more if you’re feeling like it) from the list and do them!
Please reblog and add more items to the list, it’s time to save our world :)
