Making a Difference

Making a Difference here on Earth is a perfect topic as Earth Day is this Saturday, April 22. Our own daily habits, can make a huge difference, and I want to start in my own life. I loved this blog on ways we can make a difference, and thought I’d share a few of my favorites:

#1. Sustainable Eating:

We have so many amazing farmers markets here in Austin, and this is a great way to eat sustainably. I found a great list of the farmer’s markets here.  And the great thing is connecting with the farmers who produce the food too!  Another great way is to not waste anything. It’s so easy to compost and use it in your own gardens, or you can even donate to many places.

#2. Reduce your Waste:

Clothing is one of the areas where we can really make a difference. There are so many great websites that offer used clothing like The Real Real  or even our local Austin has a consignment shop called, Moss which offers amazing luxury items. I like to donate my clothing to Goodwill, so anything that keeps textiles out of our waste will make a huge difference.

#3. Be Informed:

There is so much we can do, and it doesn’t take much.  Turning off the water when you are brushing your teeth is a big one.  Using reusable ziplock bags is another one. Carrying a reusable bag in your car for groceries.  Every little act makes a difference!

I wrote a blog a few years ago, about how to simplify your life, which can help with sustainability too.  Check it out here!
