Q&A for How to Go Green

Look for clothing that's made out of natural fibers and comes from a high-quality brand. Commit to only buying quality items, which will last you a lot longer than clothes from fast fashion brands. You'll also save money since you won't have to keep buying new clothes as often.

There are lots of ways to go green! And they don't have to be super dramatic changes. Making lots of small changes over time is the best way to stick to them. You can carry a reusable water bottle so you don't need bottled water. Reduce your plastic use and skip the store’s shopping bags and bring your own instead. Use a backpack or tote that you already own, or purchase a couple of reusable bags from the checkout area at your local grocery store. Before you throw something away, look for ways you might reuse it. Try re-purposing items or making green crafts. Products that come with a lot of packaging are bad for the environment because the packaging is waste. Even if you recycle the package, it’s still an unnecessary waste of resources. Do your best to pick products that have as little packaging as possible. This can keep more trash out of landfills and save natural resources.

The idea of "going green" means that you'll try to reduce your impact on the environment. By going green you can reduce air pollution and environmental toxins that can affect people and animals in the environment. It's a great way to reduce your environmental footprint and improve the planet. It's also not as difficult as you may think. Being green is all about reducing how many resources you use, reusing items when you can, and recycling items that can’t be reused. If you’re ready to go green, start by changing your personal habits and giving your home a green makeover. Additionally, change your habits at work and on the go to be as green as possible.

While many "green" or "sustainable" products can be more expensive, going green doesn't necessarily have to cost more. In fact, some of the things you can do to go green can actually end up saving you money in the long run. For example, by recycling and conserving energy with things like solar or wind power, you'll actually save money over time. Additionally, reusing products or items such as water bottles or containers rather than throwing them away would also end up saving you money in the long run because you won't be continually buying new items.

Some ways that you can eat more sustainably include eating less meat, growing your own food and/or purchasing locally-grown produce at a local farmers market.
