I'm doing 38 things
I want to do more to help the environment. So far this is what I have going:
Travel by T
lowers greenhouse gas emissions, reduce air pollution,
improve health and save money!
*Vegan
eating meat, eggs, and dairy products contributes heavily to
global warming because raising animals for food produces many
more greenhouse gas emissions than growing plants. Switching to
a vegan diet does more to reduce global warming than switching
to a hybrid car! Raising animals for food also uses enormous
amounts of land, water, grain and fuel. Every year in the
United States alone, 80 percent of all agricultural land, half
of all water resources, 70 percent of all grain, and one-third
of all fossil fuels are used to raise animals for food.
Use Reusable Shopping Bags
Producing plastic bags uses a lot of natural resources, and
most end up as litter that fouls landscapes, clogs waterways,
and kills thousands of marine mammals that mistake the
ubiquitous bags for food. Worldwide, up to a trillion plastic
bags are used and discarded every year—more than a million per
minute.
*Recycle Plastic and Glass beverage containers
