Sustainable practices are more important than ever before. We have an opportunity to make things better, but it will take some changes.
Why?
Because our planet is being destroyed by the same people and companies that have helped us prosper.
We need to stop looking to profit and start asking, why not? What's in it for me?
And why would I pay somebody to do something that I can do for myself?
Sustainable practices won't just benefit the environment, it will improve the lives of all those involved.
Here's how we can make it happen:
Cut down on packaging
Recycle as much as possible
Shop local
Buy Fair Trade
Avoid plastic bags
Donate old clothes
Use less electricity
Eat less meat
Conserve water
Ride your bike
Support ethical brands
Shop the sales
Avoid overproduction
Use a reusable water bottle
Support businesses that care about sustainability
These are just the tips of the iceberg when it comes to sustainable practices.
In my experience, most people can get to where we need to go if we just make a change in our lifestyles.
The first step is starting to think about this issue, so let's start talking.
