As parents, we want to set a good example for the next generation and leave a better world than we found. With all of the talk about global warming, climate change, and an increasingly dangerous mother earth, what better way to celebrate Earth Day than with a list of lifestyle changes the whole family can make to create a better tomorrow, today!
Consider making some eco-friendly choices the whole family can participate in this year!
1. Try Meatless Monday
Studies show that the impact of farming animals and consuming meat on the planet is enormous. From the space it takes to raise these animals to the amount of water used, meat production has its negative side effects. Instead of cutting consumption entirely, try implementing one day a week that your family goes without meat. Meatless Monday is an initiative that encourages people to not eat meat one day out of the week, which is very doable.
2. Actively save energy
A second way you and your family can be environmentally conscious this year is by actively attempting to save energy in your home. To do this, you can start by simply swapping out your current light bulbs for LED. These light bulbs have longer lives and require less energy than their counterparts overall.
