Happy World Environment Day!
A little goes a long way in conserving our environment. Here are some tips that can help with conservation:
At home:
- Use reusable cups/bottles for coffee, tea, soda and water.
- Make your own household items e.g. cleaning supplies, essential oils and hair care products. Get tips from online for “how to” videos.
- Time your shower to last for 5 minutes or less to save gallons of water.
- Reduce carbon footprint and driving mileage by walking or cycling to the market and buying in bulk to avoid many shopping trips.
At work:
- Use both sides of the printing paper before recycling.
- Store documents electronically on your computer or device.
- Trade in, donate or sell electronics that are in good condition.
- When throwing away electronics, remove the battery and dispose of it properly.
In the community:
- Support local vendors, farmers markets and shops using organic products.
- Plant trees and join environmental conversation initiatives/organizations in your community.
