Today’s kindness tip is on ways to protect Mother Earth.
I have shared below a list of the things that my family & I do to show kindness to our planet:
1. Take shorter showers with cooler water
2. Turn taps off to save water when not in use (e.g. while brushing your teeth)
3. Turn lights/plugs off when not in use
4. Reuse grocery bags
5. Use recycled or stainless steel water bottles/travel mugs not plastic.
6. Reduce, reuse and recycle (e.g. use old products in new ways. My daughters convert tin cans to hold their art supplies, pasta jars for drinking glass & use reusable stainless steel straws instead of plastic ones).
7. Don’t waste food & find creative ways to use leftover food
8. Declutter
9. Eat vegetarian/vegan few times a week
10. Separate compost for kitchen and garden waste (e.g. coffee grounds, vegetable peels, newspaper and cardboard).
11. Use public transit
12. Carpool
13. Shop online
14. Reuse leftovers
15. Reduce printing
16. Work from home
17. Online banking
18. Join donations groups
19. Shred your documents to save water and paper
What steps did you take today to save our planet?
