IMPACT is made regardless if you are aware or not. You decide if you want to make a positive impact or a negative one every time you do anything that effects the environment. Yes I know everyone hates change but hopefully, if you're the type of person that takes responsibility for your actions and life, these small tips to help the environment can be as minuscule to you as they have been to me. If small steps to a better environment was on everyone's priority list it wouldn't take much for each person! So here are my tips (:
Drink box water instead of bottled water. Box water is a brand of water that puts its perfectly balanced water in boxes instead of bottles! Not only do you not taste the plastic that you can when you drink out of a bottle, you will actually be contributing to cleaning our oceans and earth! I have been drinking boxed water for about a month now and I can feel the difference in my attitude, heart and health. The pain in my side, joint discomfort and headaches have all gone away! Not to mention knowing that i helped the environment with each box I buy does wonders for my soul happiness!
Buy from an ethical dairy company and ingest less heavily processed dairy and meat. No I'm not telling you to alter your diet entirely or pushing you to go vegetarian or vegan although that makes the most positive impact. I'm just saying, read up on your brands, what methods they use and how it impacts the environment! Things to look out for are what fertilizers, preservative and additives that are used. You would be surprised to see how much damage your supporting when you support the greed of farmers that take shortcuts just to make their product cheaper. Pay the extra $2-$5 to lessen your carbon footprint. The amount of food a company produces is purely based on revenue.
GET A BICYCLE and drive less! Not only will you be helping yourself get healthy. You will be less suffocating to the environment. Imagine being in your closed garage and running your car. That CO2 will kill you so why would you want to kill our planet that same way?
Stop using plastic bags PERIOD. Some stores offer paper bags or reusable bags. Needing to remember your bags is a small inconvenience to endure when it could have a great impact in saving the lives of many different species that roam this earth with more freedoms than you! lol Imagine having 50% mobility of your whole right side while you do ANYTHING. Now imagine that and being in a plastic bag. Is it pleasant ? NO it would frustrate the HELL out of you.
Be aware of your emotions and why you feel them. Pollution may be creating much more weight and guilt in your life than you are ever aware! I know it made me feel guilty when I realized I could be doing more for MY environment. Your subconscious can be a bitch to decipher.
OWN THE ENVIRONMENT IT'S YOURS! Do you really want to be part of the problem, when you can be a HUGE part of the solution. Realizing that there are more than you in this world is the first step in helping the environment.
I hope my tips have helped you become a better person (: Thank you @missy and @rambo
