As Earth Day passes, many of us take time to reflect on the health of the planet. We think about climate change and carbon footprints, but maybe we can focus our thoughts a little closer to home. How can we make meaningful, manageable changes in our own space that align with our personal health? We’re glad you asked.
Here are a few things you can do right in your own backyard:
- Food for Thought: Go local and organic whenever possible. Support farmers in your community that leverage sustainable, natural practices.
- Get into a New Cycle: No matter your fitness level, riding a bike is within reach. Traveling by pedal power limits pollution and allows you to better engage with your natural surroundings.
- Reduce-Reuse-Recycle: Separate trash on the daily. Know your product’s packaging content. When in doubt, go with paper. Better yet, purchase unpackaged items like fresh fruits & vegetables.
- Use Greener Cleaners: Products do not have to be toxic to keep things clean. Really. Check product labels. Know before you glow. Find a DIY recipe online, keep the ingredients simple.
There are countless ways to improve your health and the environment at the same time. Truly. Little changes can have a BIG impact. One planet, one body. You can do this!
