Kicking off this week’s Goodtype Tuesday is @livelongandletter: ・・・ Joining in on this #goodtypetuesday to share awareness on ways we can help our planet earth. While I am still learning ways to be more eco friendly, one simple switch I did make- is ditching the plastic straw for a reusable option. Plastic is one of the biggest threats our environment faces. It is estimated that Americans use more than 500 million drinking straws a day! Many of these straws end up in our landfills or even worse- our oceans. They harm our wild life and release harmful chemicals into our atmosphere. Ditching plastic straws and replacing them with an alternative, like reusable silicone straws, is a simple way we can help keep our planet safe. Thanks @goodtype for bringing awareness to this important topic! I had such a fun time creating this illustration for the cause:) . . . . . #goodtypenature #goodtype #nature #savetheplanet #strawssuck #ditchthestraw #savetheamazon #thedailytype #calligritype #typography #handlettering #typism #customtype #dailycalligraphy #illustration #ligaturecollective #typespire #typegang #typeyeah #handmadefont #tyxca #thedesigntip #typematters #strengthinletters #oceanguardian #typetopia https://www.instagram.com/p/B1pynAlpndc/?igshid=uh2u2icaeto

SUSTAINABILITY 101: 5 simple ways you (yes you!) can be environmentally friendly

1. Try cutting your showers down to 5 min or less. This may be difficult for those who enjoy long showers, so try starting by taking one quick shower a week and shortening them from there! WHY THIS HELPS: It majorly conserves water

2. Buy secondhand! This doesn't just pertain to clothes, you can buy nearly everything secondhand. Try checking your local thrift/charity shops or Ebay before buying something brand new. WHY THIS HELPS: Reusing things decreases the demand for new things to be made, cutting down on waste :)

3. If you are in college, try using solely online textbooks (or getting them secondhand). WHY THIS HELPS: It saves paper, and saves you money

4. Cut down on plastic. This may be hard as our civilization is practically built on it now. Some easy ways to do this (if it is within your means) is to buy food in paper or glass packaging (both are recyclable!), ask for no lid or straw at coffee shops, buy only the shoes you need, ask for paper bags at the grocery store, and carrying a reusable water bottle (you can buy these at a range of prices)! WHY THIS HELPS: Plastic sucks! Its not good for the landfills, its not good for the oceans, and it is not good for us

5.  Set Ecosia as your browser! Every time you hit 45 searches, it plants a tree! So far, in one year I have planted 34 trees. This is just by doing normal internet searches! The company is super transparent and you see where 100% of their funds go. I cannot recommend this enough! WHY THIS HELPS: Planting trees helps decrease CO2 (no bueno), helps local communities (ecosia has a bunch of great stories!), and reduces air pollution :)

There's always more fish in the sea...right?🌊 🐟 Well apparently not, if we continuing wasting single use plastics at the same rate we already are, there's going to be more plastic than fish in the oceans by 2050...😱#plasticoceans Pic by @_nic.mac_ . . . . . . #wavy #plasticfreeoceans #noplastic #plasticfree #cleanoceans #plasticsea #waste #waronwaste #cleanupouroceans #future #singleuseplastics #convenience #reduce #recycle #reuse #sustainable #banthebag #zerowasteliving #strawssuck #sustainablesydney (at Sydney, Australia)

Can’t all restaurants do this?! Awesome! I’ve forgotten on several occasions to request “no straw.” And those straws are now sadly in my trash jar. Eventually, they will end up in the ocean with millions of others. Imagine how much plastic it would save if restaurants simply asked customers if they wanted straws rather than automatically putting them in our drinks. It would save those restaurants money too, and who doesn’t like that??
