Living green means being mindful of how our choices affect the environment and taking steps to reduce our environmental footprint. Here are some things we should and shouldn’t do to live green:

·        We should reduce our consumption and avoid disposable packaging. We can buy less, buy local, buy in bulk, and use reusable bags and containers

·        We should favor sustainably sourced products that are organic, free-range, humane, and in season. We can also buy recycled products and reuse anything that we can

·        We should be aware of chemicals that can harm humans, animals, and ecosystems. We can use natural or homemade cleaning products and dispose of hazardous waste properly

·        We shouldn’t waste energy and water. We can switch to energy-saving bulbs, use dim lights, install solar-powered lamps, and use water-efficient appliances and fixtures

·        We shouldn’t drive cars that emit greenhouse gases. We can choose a fuel-efficient vehicle, use public transportation, bike, or walk
