1. Stop buying and using plastic water bottles
How? Reuse glass beverage bottles or reusable stainless-steel bottles. If you really want that pretty bottle, choose one that is made with earth-friendly materials by a company who is producing their goods through sustainable practices.

2. Cut down your shower time to conserve water
How? As much as you might love to, don't stand under the shower too long-- just get in and get out. You can use a natural all-in-one cleanser to cut down the time of washing everything separately, and if your hair is long, cut your hair shorter, and try a new style of hair!
3. Reduce your trash
How? Reuse the back side of a paper and make sure you recycle it after it's been fully used. Reduce packaging waste from foods by shopping in bulk. Some bulk grocers allow customers to bring their own containers! You can save money, as well, by doing this!
4. Stop using harmful household chemicals that are bad for the Earth
How? Be a conscious consumer and purchase the eco-friendly brands or simply make your own cleaning products. They normally only require a few ingredients like baking soda, vinegar, or lemon juice, and they are certainly effective!
5. Stop using self-care products that are destroying ocean life
How? Scrub beads or micro-beads are entering our ocean waters and destroying the marine life. There are also a ton of chemicals in our self-care products that poison not only humans but our environment. Read up on them! Always choose natural products that are safe for you and for the Earth.
6. Reduce your carbon footprint at the grocery store
How? Buy your produce from local grocers and farmers. Buy seasonal vegetables and fruits and have fun learning and creating new recipes!
7. Recycle
How? Call the city for a recycling bin, and learn about where you can properly dispose oil, batteries, food waste, bottles, cardboard, and much more!
8. Reduce your carbon footprint on the road
How? If you don't have an electric car yet, make sure you are getting regular oil changes so you aren't unnecessarily producing emission gases into the environment. Try riding your bike to work one day per week or few times a month, or use public transportation, carpool with your co-workers, or work remotely! Do your best to practice a healthier lifestyle while reducing your carbon footprint!
9. Stop using disposable straws and coffee cups
How? Use a stainless steel straw or no straw at all. You don't really need it! Simply bring your own mug or tumbler to have the coffee shop fill it with your favorite tea or java!
10. Be minimal
How? There is a huge movement of people adopting a minimalist lifestyle, which really helps people to de-clutter their lives and keeps them more mindful about buying too many materialistic baubles. It will all end up in a landfill in the end anyway. Less is more.
11. Support your favorite wild-animal or marine-life conservation agency
How? You must have a favorite animal, so look up a way you can help your animal friends live a good life! There are also organizations that take you out on an excursion and let you be part of their research! Check out Earthwatch.org
12. Animal agriculture is the #1 destroyer of Earth. Reduce or cut out your meat consumption!
How? Going to a plant-based lifestyle is not as hard or complicated you may think! There are so many ways to practice a plant-based lifestyle. Whether it is with food, beauty products, or clothing, we can make a conscious choice as a well-educated consumer. First try to adhere to, Meatless Mondays! There are many excellent documentaries out there to help you understand how important it is for your health and every living thing on this planet.
