We celebrated Earth Day on Monday and this inspired me to reflect on what habits I have in place that are environmentally friendly.
At the same time, I unfortunately noticed that I have a few bad habits causing a negative impact. Don’t we all? Let’s decide as a community to make the small changes that we can on a regular basis that will allow for a ripple effect. It starts with one person- that’s you!
In studio, about a year ago we eliminated paper cups and switched over to beautiful blue cups for students to fill with water before class. We encourage students to take good care of their mats so they have a long life, bring their own reusable travel mug for coffee at Cannon Coffee Co. down the street and we use reusable bags whenever we shop for the studio necessities.
I’ve put a list of 10 tips together that you can implement now. How many are you already in the habit of doing?
Reusable Water Bottle
Reusable Grocery/Produce Bags
Reusable Travel Mug
Reusable K-cup or Metal Tea Strainer
Hang Dry Clothes
Dryer Balls
Glass/Metal Food Containers
Bamboo Toothbrushes & Hairbrushes
Beeswax/Plant-Based Wax Food Wraps
Metal/Paper Straws
