Though it appears the environment has been put on the backburner by governments and corporations for the last few decades, even centuries, it’s important to understand that the onus still isn’t on the individual to change the planet for the better. Nevertheless, there are a huge variety of things that the environmentally conscious can do to feel a little bit better about the direction that our planet is going in.
Whether that involves switching out single-use plastic for reusable, sustainable alternatives such as water bottles, lunch boxes and straws; going zero-waste and grocery shopping via planet-friendly dispensaries; or even growing the majority of your own food at home – the choice is yours. If, however, you’re in the privileged position of living in a home with a garden or extended outdoor space, why not think about ways you can improve biodiversity in your microhabitat?
