Here are 5 easy ways in which you can help:

 

1. Carry your own reusable shopping bags.

2. Conserve water. Something as simple as turning off your tap while brushing or washing your face can make a huge difference. Guess our parents knew this all along.

3. Avoid fast fashion! Instead, try borrowing, thrifting or renting clothes.

4. Put out water for the birds, bees and other wild creatures in your neighbourhood. Watch our short video on making bird baths to learn how.

5.Learn the 5 R’s: refuse, reduce, reuse, rot, recycle.

This Earth Week, invest in our planet’s future.
