Happy Earth Day everyone. Today we should all be celebrating our planet Earth by spreading awareness about the dangers it’s currently facing and sharing ideas of ways we can help.
It’s very important to me that I lead an eco-friendly lifestyle — here are seven things that I do to live green.
1. Carry your own reusable containers to restaurants to bring home your leftovers.
2. Avoid buying bottled water and get a reusable bottle instead.
3. Use biodegradable alternatives to plastic (cups, utensils, plates, bags).
4. Compost all of your table scraps and leftover food — it all goes back into the earth.
5. Ride your bike if you’re traveling within two miles of your house (1 pound of CO2 pollution is cut for every mile pedaled).
6. Eat less meat and eat more local and organic foods.
7. My personal favorite: Turn things you might throw away into art projects for your kids — for instance, you can turn a baby food jar into a snow globe.
What’s your list of eco-friendly tips?
And remember kids, THE POWER IS YOURS.
Love always,
