Happy Earth Day!

Mural by Amy Zaremba in Madison, WI

Cheers to Mother Earth! What would we do without her? There is SO much beauty on this planet. It's the only one we have, so we need to do better. Much better. The pollution and litter are enough to make me want to scream daily. Are you living as sustainably as possible? While there is always room for improvement, here are the ways I contribute:

  • I don't have a car. I use public transportation, bike, and walk.
  • I carry reusable bags.
  • I try not to buy food wrapped in plastic. If I do, such as a loaf of bread, I reuse the bag.
  • I don't buy plastic water bottles. I have reusable bottles and recycle my Kombucha glass bottles for to-go beverages. If I'm traveling and I end up needing to buy water, I buy the boxed style.
  • I recycle pretty much everything including the tins that mints come in. They make great little travel containers.
  • I consume a vegan diet.
  • I buy organic.
  • I do just about everything online including paying bills and buying gift cards.
I love celebrating Earth Day with art, and here are some favorites from my travels.
