2. Collect Rain Water
- Collecting rain water has so many benefits yet such a small amount of people do it. Not only can you use it for things like cleaning, and gardening, but you can also use it to do your laundry. By collecting rain water you can reduce your water usage, feel safer about the water you do use, and help the planet live longer.
3. Plant a tree
- We all know the substantial amount of benefits that planting a tree can have on the environment. Planting a tree is probably one of the easiest ways you can help save our planet, as they can require very little maintenance and have countless benefits like improving air quality, and reducing storm water runoff reducing erosion.
4. Reduce single use materials
- Most people immediately think of plastic when they hear someone talking about the effect of single use materials, but in reality there are so many other examples. Just one is parchment paper, most people think this is a better alternative because it is made from paper. However, what they don't think about is the amount of trees it takes to make a roll of parchment paper, and how many of those trees are just being thrown away.
5. Urban beekeeping
- Not everyone can do this but if you can, its a great way to help the planet and your neighborhood. Plus you get a sweet treat as an added benefit, so why not?
