Do you want to help address climate change but don’t want to leave the couch? – Then our Lazy Person’s Guide to Saving the World is just for you!
Get ideas for all levels of action here:
Things you can do from your couch
Save electricity: Turn off the lights and appliances when not in use, including your computer.
Share, don’t just like. If you see an interesting social media post about women’s rights or climate change, share it so folks in your network see it too.
Do a bit of online research and buy only from companies that you know have sustainable practices and don’t harm the environment.
Things you can do at home
Air dry. Let your hair and clothes dry naturally instead of running a machine. If you do wash your clothes, make sure the load is full.
Take short showers. Bathtubs require gallons more water than a 5-10 minute shower.
Eat less meat, poultry, and fish. More resources are used to provide meat than plants.
Things you can do outside your house
Shop local and smart. Supporting neighbourhood businesses keeps people employed. Plan ahead to avoid buying too much food, and bring your own bag.
Bike, walk or take public transport. Save the car trips for when you’ve got a big group.
Use a refillable water bottle and coffee cup. Cut down on waste and maybe even save money at the coffee shop.
Take advantage of your right to elect the leaders in your country and local community.
