You can limit the environmental degradation, which is happening at lightning speed by using eco-friendly products; it also contributes to conserving the resources.

Love this post! It really helped me focus my efforts. I try to actively contribute to an eco-friendly lifestyle by planning all my trips in the same area at the same time or walking to places close-by. I’ve bought shares in a csa, which has helped me cut way down on shopping trips and therefore impulse buying. I try to recycle everything I can and repurpose when I can. I also have a vermicomposting system for my food waste.
