5 SUSTAINABLE WAYS TO SUPPORT A HEALTHY PLANET AND LIFESTYLE 

1. ELIMINATE SINGLE-USE PLASTICS

This includes plastic straws, bags, bottles, containers, cups, and cutlery. As you know, a lot of these come from what we consume on a daily basis - whether it be shopping, dining in/out, groceries, etc... Single-use plastics are utilized for just a few moments, but last at least several hundred years on the planet. It's so important for us to make this simple adjustment in how we live, what we buy, and what we use.

2. QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

Invest in quality items that will last a very long time. Products that consistently need to be replaced are not doing any good for the planet, you, or your wallet.

3. SUPPORT BRANDS THAT DO GOOD

Buy from those who are committed to sustainability, cruelty-free/vegan, reducing waste, fair labor practices, using ethically-sourced materials, and giving back.

4. SHOP SMALL AND LOCAL

By doing so, it helps to support small businesses, stimulate local economies, and reduce your carbon footprint through less travel.

5. CHOOSE ORGANIC AND CONSUME LESS MEAT

Organic farming practices reduce pollution and soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and enhance biodiversity. This is also better for animals as well as people who live close to farms.

Eating less meat and shifting to a more plant-based diet is essential to combating climate change, soil, air and water pollution, deforestation, and other problems caused by industrial livestock production.
