If you want to do your part in protecting our planet from pollution, climate change, and the general destructive nature of us humans, one of the first things you can do is take a hard, honest look at your daily habits. When you sit down and really think about it, chances are you’ll realize you’re using up natural resources and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions more than you might think.
The habits below are a good place to start. It’s important to keep in mind: None of these habits are going to magically change the entire condition of our environment.
