Bees Are Life is committed to giving you effective alternatives to plastic and other harmful materials.
Here are a few actions that you and your community can take to reduce your carbon footprint:
Carpool to work today!
Organize a group of friends and family to go around and pic up litter
Buy a reusable glass or plastic water bottle, glass is better because it lasts longer and is recyclable, but plastic water bottles are also acceptable and most recycling centers accept them.
Go thrift shopping, not only are the clothes way cheaper than anything you would get in a mall, second hand clothes are very environmentally friendly. Most thrift stores only use clothing that is donated locally, so this cuts down on carbon emissions from shipping!
When you buy your daily morning coffee, bring your own mug today, if you forget to bring your own mug- that's fine! Starbucks offers reusable silicone cups that you can purchase for two dollars in-store, and when you use them again any drink you purchase is discounted by ten cents!
Buy a wooden toothbrush, they last much longer and don't lead to plastic waste in the oceans.
try to go an entire day without buying, using, or throwing away any plastic object!
Here is a printable version that you can put on your refrigerator or kitchen table, and check off as you complete the tasks, we will update these each week!
