Hey friends! As the summer sun shines bright, it’s the perfect time to embrace some eco-friendly habits. Here are a few easy tips to make your summer a bit greener and keep that good vibe going!
- Go for Natural Sunscreen: Protect your skin and the ocean by using mineral-based sunscreens. They’re better for your skin and won’t harm marine life when you hit the beach.
- Eat Local and Seasonal: Visit your local farmers’ market. Enjoy fresh produce while supporting local farmers. Plus, it’s a great way to discover new recipes!
- Choose Reusable Products: Whether it’s water bottles, straws, or shopping bags, go for reusable options. They help cut down on plastic waste and are often more stylish!
- Keep Cool with Fans: Instead of blasting the AC, try using fans to circulate air. You can save energy and keep your space just as comfy.
- Stay Hydrated with Infused Water: Add slices of fruits or herbs to your water for a refreshing twist. It’s a fun way to stay hydrated without the sugar!
- Host Eco-Friendly Gatherings: When having friends over, consider using compostable plates and utensils. It’s an easy way to reduce waste while enjoying good company.
- Gardening: If you have space, try planting a small garden. It’s a fulfilling hobby and can provide you with fresh herbs and veggies right from your backyard.
