4 Green Resolutions
to Begin on Earth Day.
This April 22, celebrate Earth Day by taking
steps towards living a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
Here are four easy resolutions
to adopt that will help create
a cleaner, safer world.
Use Less Water, Only 3% of the water on Earth is freshwater, meaning conservation of this limited resource is key.
Cut down on usage by taking shorter showers, turning off your tap water when it’s not in use and only running the dishwasher once it’s full.
Take Up Thrifting, Most clothing takes up to 200 years to decompose in landfills.
Rather than playing into the damaging cycle, donate your used clothing and buy from secondhand shops.
Keep Your
Neighborhood Clean, Debris and trash can build up and have a deadly effect on the environment.
Instead of being a passerby, take
the time to pick up the trash you
spot and dispose of it in a proper way.
Choose Reusable
Over Disposable, At the world’s current rate of waste, about 12,000 metric tons of plastic waste will be produced by 2050.
Use reusable water bottles and canvas bags
when shopping in order to cut down on
your contribution to the growing issue
