Some quick ways to reduce your carbon footprint in the office

 Some quick ways to reduce your carbon footprint in the office

If you can’t tell, I’m on a bit of a kick about recycling and reducing waste across the board and I’ve got another area that I have some quick advice on! There’s a load of things you can do that only take a little bit of preparation that can lower your carbon footprint on the environment. The biggest item would have to be preparing your own meals at home with your own drinks that don’t involve canned soda. There’s actually those flavorings that you just quirt a few streams of the flavor into your water bottle and have a great tasting drink at work. Another item you can do is using Glad or Rubbermaid containers for your lunches instead of plastic bags or aluminum foil.

If you commit to these small things everyday it allows for you to have a lesser impact on the environment while also saving some money on what you are using to package your meals. It’s also a much lesser footprint than eating out since most fast food or other food places also come with a lot of packaging for their meals like Styrofoam or paper bags. Those packaging methods are harsh on the environment and take more than just a few years or even a few decades to break down and integrate into soil again. Some Styrofoam types are even like a poison to the plant life that grow around that area.

Another trick I would suggest for you to try is talking to your Human Resources about getting recycling bins put into your workplace. You’d honestly be surprised at how ready employers are to save the environment if the employees want to do the same. Yet again, just some food for thought! :)

To Become Self-Sufficient, There’s One Necessary Item

To Become Self-Sufficient, There’s One Necessary Item I’ve been going on about becoming self-sufficient and making sure that everything you have in your house is safe for your family. I haven’t mentioned much on the best methods to reach that self-sufficient point yet though. One of the hands-down best ways to achieve this self-sufficiency is owning a greenhouse. A greenhouse will allow you to get your gardening going without having to worry about neighborhood animals coming in and getting to your harvest before you do. It also allows you to have your garden a bit before and after the actual gardening seasons started or ended. It protects all your yearly efforts and starts a personalized biome for them as well. I personally have been looking at the Abba Patio Walk-In greenhouse for myself and been pouring over it's reviewing online. I’ve seen a lot of them going for either the worst greenhouse possible or the best one yet. Then after going through about 30 of them, I n

The Three Best Methods I've Found to Lower Water on your Lawn! There's a slew of methods you can use to cut down on your carbon footprint. There is one that most people never think of however. It even has a few different routes to take to lower the carbon footprint you leave behind as well. Your yard being watered is what I’m referring to, and all the grass trimmings you leave behind from a well maintained yard is carbon-based. Let me describe some of the different approaches for a green lawn there are. The first of these is actually changing what your lawn is. Instead of having grass you can actually have it be low maintenance moss. This cuts out the time you have to mow the lawn and lets your lawn mower become the next big item in your yard sale! This is something that was started in Arizona to be honest but in the last few years it has become surprisingly big as a trend. It’s a great way to save money and to cut back on your carbon footprint for those that are e
