Everyday Action

Tips on Actions We Can Take Each Day

Reduce Single-Use Plastics:

Action: Use reusable water bottles, bags, and containers.
Impact: By eliminating just one plastic bottle per day, you can save over 300 plastic bottles in a year, reducing plastic pollution.
Stiil Suggestions: Stay prepared. Keep extra bags in your car, bring your own bottle or to-go cutlery. Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Conserve Energy:

Action: Turn off lights and appliances when not in use, and use energy-efficient bulbs.
Impact: If every household in Canada replaced one regular light bulb with an energy-efficient one, it would save enough energy to light approximately 860,000 Canadian homes for a year.

Eat a Plant-Based Meal:

Action: Incorporate more plant-based meals into your diet.
Impact: Producing one pound of beef requires 1,800 gallons of water, while producing a pound of wheat only requires 25 gallons. Shifting to plant-based diets reduces water and land usage.
Stiil Suggestions: There are so many delicious alternatives. Try to make it fun by trying a new recipe.

Support Eco-friendly Brands:

Action: Choose products from companies that are environmentally aware and give back to environmental or conservation efforts.
Impact: Supporting these socially responsible brands not only encourages environmentally conscious production practices but also contributes directly to vital environmental conservation initiatives, fostering a more sustainable and eco-friendly market.

Educate Yourself & Others:

Action: Watch the nature documentaries, fill your feed with conservation pages. Share information on social media or host informational sessions.
Impact: Spreading awareness can create a ripple effect. If each person educates just one other person, the impact multiplies.
Stiil Suggestions: Sing it from the rooftops. Get loud (with love of course) about the beauty of the natural world. We are at a time where influence is at our fingertips. What do you want to see for our future? BE IT. LOVE IT. SPREAD IT WITH LOVE.

Choose Sustainable Transportation:

Action: Use public transportation, carpool, bike, or walk.
Impact: For every gallon of gasoline saved, nearly 20 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions are avoided.
Stiil Suggestions: Take a page from KB's sister's playbook – this girl embraces every opportunity for eco-friendly adventure by rollerblading and scootering, all while dancing.

Plants:

Action: Participate in tree-planting events, beautify your home with plants, or start a small garden.
Impact: A single tree can absorb as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year, helping combat climate change.
Stiil Suggestions: We've heard that the love you give to plants, they will give to you. There's beauty in witnessing a seed grow. A special shout-out to KB's dad and brother for their true green thumbs.

Get Excited, Stay Curious, Stay Open:
