It is Earth Day once again…but everyday is Earth Day when you are a Witch. We want to honor Mother Earth and help protect the environment from the devastation created by human greed and over population ect. So, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency, taken from their Earth Day Infographic…here are some ways we can honor Her and do our part as responsible global citizens.
Lower Your Carbon Footprint
- Bike or walk
- Carpool or take public transportation
- Choose an energy efficient vehicle
- Make fewer trips by grouping your errands
- Drive smart: go easy on the brakes and gas, use cruise control, and keep your car well-maintained
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
- Reuse or repurpose containers, clothing and cloth grocery bags
- Give clothes a second life by donating or buying used
- Know what items your local recycling programs collects, and what items are recyclable
Be H2O Smart
- Repair leaky faucets and replace old equipment like toilets and dishwashers when possible
- Turn off the water to brush teeth and shave
- Run full loads of laundry and dishes
- Collect rainwater to use in your garden
Feed People, not Landfills
- Check your refrigerator, pantry, and freezer before shopping to avoid buying foods you don't need
- Plan your meals for the week before heading to the store
- Properly store fruits and vegetables so they last longer
- Befriend your freezer and leftovers
If we all do our part we can help make a difference. Pressure your governments to place environmental regulations on corporations and wealthy individuals who profit from mass devastation.
Dedicate at least one day a week to eating meatless meals…the meat and dairy industry are number one polluters and carbon gas creators…It can make a huge impact if we commit to one day a week of meatless cruelty free meals.
Leave your suggestions in the comments for others…to inspire the changes we need. Blessings.
