Help the Earth by sharing this blog. I know that this is not the most professional blog out there, nor the most informative, I just want to help the planet in the way I find as most effective. Thank you all for reading and these short lists will continue for as long as I can think of ways to help the Earth.
- Use paper instead of plastic. Those trash islands in the oceans are made up of mostly plastic, especially plastic bags. Next time you get asked the question, "Paper or Plastic?", chose paper.
- Bring your own cloth bags from home. It may be a hassle, but just imagine how much less trash would litter our ocean if every person brought their own bags to the store.
- Use plastic cups. This may seem like it goes against things i have said in the past, but hear me out. Write your name on an individual cup and use that cup, rinse it out when you are done with it, then use it again next time. This works especially well with water, but works with all drinks. This saves water because it means you can fit more stuff in the washing machine, and it isn't extremely wasteful because you get several uses out of one cup.
- Get more sleep. This one is more helpful to you but think about it this way, the more you are asleep, the less you can damage the environment. The less you eat, use electricity, produce waste, etc.
- Take a moment before doing anything and ask yourself if what you are doing will damage the environment. For example, should you drive 5 minutes to the drug store or ride a bike/walk? Which one will damage the environment less? What you do should be based on the answer to the second question. Lastly, this tip should be used within reason. You should drive if you work 30 minutes away, you don't need to reuse everything, drive if you re pressed for time, etc.
