No more messing around! Going green is a necessity this year. With fossil fuel emissions and deforestation on the rise, our individual efforts to improve the earth are more important than ever! This is our planet and we should care for it as such, so this spring, we’re recycling, composting, thrifting and donating. Most of all, we’re following the easy sustainability tips provided by local non-profits like Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful.
Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful encourages you to get involved with your community and save the planet one recycling bin at a time. Here are some small tips on going green that you can add to any routine:
- Swap from plastic to reusable water bottles or start composting food scraps to lessen your non-recyclable waste significantly.
- Use LED bulbs in your house to help with energy efficiency and take shorter showers to save water.
- Bring sustainability with you to work by starting a recycling initiative among your coworkers or buy a few plants to purify the air in the office. There are plenty of ways to make big differences with the smallest of acts!
Now that your personal and professional lives are as green as can be, it’s time to extend a green thumb to your community. When visiting locally owned shops, bring a reusable bag with you. Take part in a community garden (or start your own). Volunteer at one of Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful’s events, like the Great American Cleanup or the Adopt-a-Road initiative.
