You don’t have to do anything big or outrageous to save the planet. You can start saving the planet today with the following 3 super simple ways:
Cut Back On Meat – Even Just One Day A Week
You don’t necessarily need to go completely veggie/vegan. Simply cutting back on meat for one day a week could seriously help the planet, not to mention your health! 55 square feet of land is cleared for each burger you consume, and 2,500 gallons of water is used for each pound of beef produced. That’s substantial, so yes, one person cutting back on meat really does make a huge difference! There are some awesome meat substitutes out there, and so many amazing vegetarian/vegan recipes too. Try it and see what you think!
Buy Local As Often As Possible
It’s all too easy to reach for a brand name item on a shelf. So much energy consumption takes place to bring those things to the shelf. Whenever possible, try to buy produce from the people who create the product directly. Take a look at farmers, markets, and smaller stores near you, and you’ll make such a big difference.
Start Campaigning For A Greener Planet
Campaigning for others to save the planet could seriously inspire them and help them to make permanent changes. Every little helps! Share the reasons you’re passionate about saving the planet. You could perhaps even talk about things like climate change – the infographic below can give you more information!
