Happy Earth Day! (April 22) There are little things we can all do that reduce our carbon footprint and help us save money, too.
- Buy from second-hand stores - Thanks to sites like eBay, ThredUp and even Goodwill, you can do it right on-line.
- Plan your meals ahead to reduce food waste.
- Walk more – it’s good for you and reduces pollution.
- Switch to eco-friendly cleaning products.
- Find ways to save on energy, like investing in heavy heat-resistant, light-blocking curtains to keep it cooler this summer.
- Join your local "Buy Nothing" group on Facebook. Members give and receive items, services, and even support, all for free, without any expectation of a return. It's a way to reduce waste, build community, and share resources in a sustainable and equitable way.
