One easy way that my family and I make our daily routines more sustainable is by composting. Composting helps to make nutrient rich soil while reducing landfill waste. It’s wonderful for the environment, and it’s super easy! What I like to do is keep a bowl in the kitchen to put leftover meal scraps or vegetable stems into, then when that gets full, dump it … Continue reading Earth Week 12

Make a compost. Stop using one use plastics. Recycle. Shop locally, not brands like Nike or Adidas, thrifting works too. Switch your mindset to stop being so consumerist, buy less in general. (“Nature” by ForestWander.com is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0) Continue reading Earth Week 9

It’s the little things. Save energy by turning off the lights after leaving the room. Being sustainable is eating less meat. It’s reusing. It’s using less paper. It’s donating. There are two main themes here: using less and upcycling more. These two can make a huge difference in not only your life, but the lives of future generations. – Romy (“Flower nature” by @Doug88888 is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA … Continue reading Earth Week 8

Some easy ways to help the environment are to pick up any litter you see in public (be careful of glass, wear gloves!), or to make an effort to recycle things instead of dumping them straight in the trash. Bringing a single reusable water bottle rather than using a bunch of plastic ones also is a great help in helping our environment!

I believe that reduction is the most impactful method to make people’s daily routines more sustainable because our American lifestyle consists of an overwhelming amount of intaking our Earth’s resources. The more we reduce in our daily lives the less negative impact we have on our environment and the closer we come to living sustainably. Impactful reduction methods are cutting meat out of your diet, … Continue reading Earth Week 5

The implementation of sustainable living will become more and more imperative as our society continues to move into the future. This is apparent as our resources deplete; we destroy swathes of native forests to plant rows of uniform palm oil trees, we destroy the habitat of native species to farm with pesticides and farming practices that wreck the soil, and single use plastics line our … Continue reading Earth Week 4

Obviously they can do the little things like shutting off lights or driving less and walking/biking more. I think all that is helpful, but to live sustainably you have to go a little further. You could give up beef, start a compost, get solar panels for your roof. There’s so many different things you could do. – Freja Clauson (“Nature” by @Doug88888 is licensed under … Continue reading Earth Week 3

I think researching the little things is the best way to start. For example, switching toothbrushes and switching up your routine. (“Nature bird” by @Doug88888 is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) Continue reading Earth Week 2

Readers can try and limit the amount of meat they buy from large farm practices and instead buy meat from local sustainable vendors. Sustainably living looks like reducing the amount of packaged products I buy in order to help lower the waste produced by the products. – Minna Abdel-Moemen (“nature” by Blueocean64 is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) Continue reading Earth Week 1
