Happy World Environment Day! I've got several eco-friendly tips on how we can all make a positive difference. Make sure to listen to my original @dsound podcast to get more details and examples! What I discuss in the podcast: SHOP LOCALLY Do you know what food miles are? Basically “it is a mile over which a food item is transported from producer to consumer, as a unit of measurement of the fuel used to do this.” - wikipedia.org AVOID GETTING FOOD TO GO... EAT AT HOME. Not only are you not collecting plastic and sterofoam food containers your also able to make food with fewer resources. It can be less expensive and often times healthier! SAY NO TO SINGLE USE ITEMS Plastic bags, straws, and cups are a no go... Swap for reusable totes, metal or bamboo straws, and BPA free reusable plastic, metal, or glass containers USE A PRESSURE COOKER It can take up to 70% less time which means you use less electricity! TAKE MILITARY SHOWERS Turn your shower on only when rinsing. So when you're lathering your shampoo the water won’t be flowing. CARPOOL OR TAKE YOUR BIKE Meeting friends to carpool can be fun! Consider taking your bike when going out, meeting friends, or going to work. EAT LESS MEAT 70% of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed to raise cows for meat production 45% of our global land is occupied by the livestock system 23% of the global freshwater supplies raising livestock 14.5 % of greenhouse gas emissions are from the animal agriculture system To make a burger requires 660 gallons of water! Crazy! Thanks so much for listening to my podcast and for being open enough to read my post. Talk to you soon! “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
