Friendly Saturday reminders to help our planet [View all]

If you care about the climate, please do everything you can to help

Drastically reduce (ideally try to eliminate) consumption of animal products

Travel responsibly

Avoid plastic

Buy recycled paper products and buy made from hemp or bamboo if you can afford to

Kill your lawn

Stop buying things unless you really need them

Avoid using harsh cleaners or any products that pollute water

Keep your cats indoors

I could go on. Not trying to nag. Just fighting despair.
