You may not be able to end pollution, stop the spread of global warming, or save an endangered species on your own, but by choosing to live green you can do a lot to help out our home planet.
Here are a few things you can do to help:
- 1 - Drive Less : Everytime you leave your car at home, you're reducing air pollution, but improving your health and saving money.
- 2 - Eat your vegetables : Eating meat and dairy contributes heavily to global warming because raising animals for food produces many more greenhouse gas emissions than growing plants.
- 3 - Switch to reusable shopping bags : Producing plastic bags uses a lot of natural resources, and most of them end up as litter in landfills that used to be animal's homes.
- 4 - Change your lightbulbs : LEDs are more energy efficient and less expensive to use than those traditional bulbs invented by Thomas Edison. So..Cheaper and Better..what's the problem?
- 5 - Pay your bills online : You get where I'm going with this, I'm sure. Bills payed through mailboxes = paper waste. A lot of companies now offer people the option pay bills online, so use that option!
