Spread the word about conservation.

Any way you can - get people to think about the earth. There are almost 6 billion people on this earth, and every one of them needs to take care of it! Always look for environment-safe products and encourage others to do the same. From recycling to buying less packaging to planting trees to saving water to conserving energy, keep the environment in mind.

Recycle, recycle, recycle
Recycle as much as you can – paper, glass, plastics, cardboard, newspapers, magazines, compostable food,

Re-use your plastic bags.
Plastic takes over 100 years to biodegrade! When you go shopping, reuse plastic bags from a prior trip or bring a cloth bag or backpack.

Don’t buy products with lots of packaging.
The more packaging, the more cost. If you see a small product (for example, a toothbrush) wrapped in five layers of plastic with a flashy cardboard insert all in a box made of a foam-like plastic, chances are most of the price is because of the packaging. similar product with less packaging. Also stay away from individually wrapped products.

Buy fresh produce from Display Bins

Select fresh produce from display bins instead of the pre-packaged variety. The more packaging, the more price, and (more importantly) the more garbage in the landfills.

Plant a tree.
Either buy a plant or find a tree (like a maple) that produces seeds every spring, collect a few, and plant them. Start them in pots until they’re at least a foot tall and then plant them. It’s a great way to save the earth’s oxygen!
