Grow Your Own Greens

Start a small balcony garden or plant trees. Growing your own herbs or vegetables reduces packaging waste and promotes cleaner air.

Buy from businesses that use ethical, eco-conscious practices. Local shopping also reduces transportation emissions.

Eat Plant Based Meals

Reducing meat consumption even a few times a week can significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions and save water resources.

Reduce Plastic Use

Say no to single use plastics. Carry reusable bags, bottles, and containers to reduce waste that ends up in oceans and landfills.

Recycle and Reuse

Sort your waste properly and find creative ways to repurpose items — from old jars to clothing, instead of throwing them away.
