Take a few minutes and think about all the little things you might do each day that would save some money, improve your health, and save lives — your own in the short term, your children’s in the mid-term, and the earth’s in the not-so-far-away-either term.

Little things, like..

Eating locally, or at least eating foods that are in-season. Drinking tap water from a glass, not a bottle that was trucked in from who-knows-where. Using that same water glass all day long, or heck, for however many days it takes until it gets dirty. Using cloth napkins. Using torn-up tee shirts instead of paper towels. Cleaning with baking soda & vinegar instead of harsh chemicals. Washing your clothes less frequently. (Such as when they’re actually dirty, instead of every time you wear them.) Changing some light bulbs. Walking instead of driving. Combining trips if you do drive. Turning the water off while you brush your teeth. Not using your toilet as a trash can. Recycling glass, paper, and plastic. Buying things with the least amount of packaging available.

Every. single. one. of those things can make your life easier, save you money, help you live a healthier life, or all three — and they’re all extremely easy to do.
