HEY, THANKS EARTH.

Happy Earth Day Everyone!

We want to say thank you to this beautiful planet of ours by working together to reduce our carbon foot-print. There are tons of easy ways we can be more eco-friendly without having to change our lifestyles too much. We made a video to talk about some of these simple things we can all do to help the planet. A lot of people making small efforts can really make a difference.

1. Unplug. If you’re not plugged into your charger, it doesn’t need to be plugged into the wall. Same goes for leaving lights on when you’re not in the room. This is one of the simplest ways to reduce energy consumption and you’ll also save money on your electric bill!
2. Read online. It’s a much more environmentally friendly way to read, and let’s be real, it can be easier too. Get your newspapers online and opt for a eBook when you can. Seriously though, it’s 2016, come on people, read electronically.
3. Buy local food. Chances are, some of the food your love isn’t naturally grown near you year round. Purchasing foods that are both in season and grown locally can drastically cut down the carbon emissions of the vehicles used to transport your winter watermelon for example, across the country.
4. Reusable bags. While on the subject of buying food, get a reusable bag for your groceries. If not for the environment, then do it because you’re sick and tired of those plastic and paper bags breaking all the time and your food spilling out onto the sidewalk and everyone laughing at you. You’ll also save 25 cents every time you shop (that’s how much some places charge for bags)!
