Level Up Your Life And The Planet!

Level up your life (and the planet!) with these 10 easy eco-friendly habits to peep at this year. 

Isn’t it absolutely insane how humans have been freaking out about climate change but no one even gives a damn about taking initiative? It's like love bomber baby out here!

"We won't have a society if we destroy the environment." -Margaret Mead

Stop getting lost in your head. Start doing. Help. Protect. Be the change.✨🌱

If you’re asking yourself: “But how can I contribute to preventing climate change?”

Then SLAYYY! You’re in the right place! 💅 

Soooo, check out these 10 ways to actually make a difference for the planet! 🪵

1. IT IS IMPERATIVE to water your plants either early morning or late evening. This helps the plants soak up their water better before greater evaporation begins. 🪴

   
   

2. Ditch the single-use plastic bottles and get yourself a handy reusable bottle! It reduces trash and saves you cash by refilling with tap water! 🫧

   
   

3. LEAVE NATURE AS YOU FOUND IT! Mother Nature's powerhouses, forests, and oceans naturally capture and store carbon dioxide, a key greenhouse gas.🦋

   
   

4. Donate your old books and toys! This increases the lifespan of the item and saves them from ending up in landfills :) Easy eco-win!! 🍀

   
   

5. AIR DRY your clothes! It saves energy, keeps your clothes looking newer, and sunshine can even zap some germs. Easy win for your clothes and the planet! 🌷

   
   

6. Reuse packaging material like bubble wrap, boxes, etc. It’s a simple way to be kinder to the planet by producing less trash, fewer new resources needed, and overall, just better for the environment. Easy peasy. 😌

   
   

7. Forget plastic shopping bags and switch to reusable ones! They don’t last forever, and it's soooo much easier than grabbing a new bag EVERY time! 🛍️

   
   

8. Level up those old jars! Turning them into cute storage is a fun way to reduce waste. My mom and I do it, and it's a vibe to create something new on your own! ✨

   
   

9. Single-use plastic straws are trash- literally, swap to a reusable straw! It saves you a lot of money and is an easy switch to a cleaner future. Using the steel straws is also very aesthetically pleasing! :)

   
   

   🌱 BONUS TIP: Try Edible or Compostable Rice Straws!!

   Go for rice straws made from tapioca and rice flour. They're eco-friendly, biodegradable, and even edible! Some people eat them after use or boil them like noodles - either way, they’re a fun and sustainable switch. They even come in different colors and shapes, making your drink planet-friendly.

   
   

   Meanwhile, Earth’s over here like, “Finally! I can breathe while you slurp like a gremlin.” 😤🌍

   
   

10.  Going paperless can help A LOT! Less paper equals fewer trees getting chopped down! You can still access all the documents you need online! IF using paper is a must, go for recycled paper 💻

Another thing you can do to protect the environment is support organizations such as Maza Maharashtra Mission. A small donation can make a hugeeee difference! 

If we are responsible for the degradation of our planet, we are responsible for reviving it. Once I stop yapping, put these hacks on your to-do list and help the planet! These habits won’t change things overnight, but they can make a big difference.

And we know that you’ve probably heard about these eco-friendly habits about a bajillion times now, but just consider trying them out. The difference they make is insane.

Because remember, 

 Always choose to be part of the solution, not the problem. 

Good human acts are the best of all

Every effort counts, however small

From refusing plastic, to donating toys,

Oh, I never knew that it could bring me joy!

What we can do; no one can

Why stall if the future is in our hands?

Save yourself, before in danger we fall

For good human acts are the best of all.
