While new ideas and focus on sustainability keep us moving forward, it is good to just get back to the basics. Let’s face it reduce, reuse, recycle has never gone out of style. Instead of looking for that new invention step back and see where you can easily impact the environment around you.
1. Reusable shopping bags can be used for produce as well.
2. Mom always said clean your plate. 40% of the food consumed in the US is thrown away.
3. Taking your cup to the coffee shop is great but you can also take your own containers for takeout at your local restaurant.
4. Refuse junk mail through sites like dmachoice.org and catalogchoice.org. Make sure your recycle bin is easily accessible to everyone.
5. Use less stuff and think twice before buying that plastic product with all the packaging. Shopping is voting.
Simple steps that can have a big impact on our environment. Share more ideas in the comment section below. Thanks Mom and Grandma for going green.
