Earth Day is a great day to bring awareness to environmental issues. Sustainable living is a bunch of really practical stuff, and I’ve created a few fun challenges to get you started.
CHALLENGE: Head to your waste haulers website and make sure that you’re recycling right! Double-check what materials are accepted and make sure those are the ONLY items you’re putting into your bin.
CHALLENGE: Pick one new disposable product and grab reusable items you can rely on again and again! These will save you money, reduce waste, and save precious resources (like water, energy, etc).
CHALLENGE: Talk to one new person about climate change this month. Friends and family count too! Just talking about it can lead to change down the line.
CHALLENGE: Before tossing something into the recycling bin, see if there’s a way to upcycle it into something useful. You can upcycle yogurt cups into seed starters, milk cartons into bird feeders, etc. Get creative!
