Today is Earth Day
It's a good excuse to think about the things we can do to look after our home planet - after all, it's the only one we've got! With an ever increasing population and limited resources we all need to do our bit.
So what can you do? Here are some easy changes you can make.
Eat less meat. Animals requires more resources than plants, so if we all ate a bit less meat our resources would go further.
Plant native plants. Plants that are not native to an area tend to require more resources to help grow than native plants, and can damage local ecosystems. @JBtheExplorer is a strong advocate of planting native plants. Plus bees will thank you for it, and where would we be without them?
Reduce, reuse, recycle. Everyone knows this one, but it's worth reminding ourselves every so often.
If you've got any other handy tips feel free to share them here!
