Planting a tree can reduce air pollution, and a shady landscape enhances the value of your property and reduces energy consumption. Instead of purchasing a plastic water bottle, buy an appropriate reversible container. A plastic bottle takes a thousand years to decompose because it’s not recycled or biodegradable. When food shopping, focus on purchasing locally grown products rather than imported goods.
Buying items made locally means less transportation, processing, and packaging. Eating fewer factory farmed meats helps to reduce greenhouse gases. The remains of plants and kitchen waste can make rich nutrient food, and manure for plants, which helps them grow faster is called composting.
