Living a green life is not only beneficial for the environment but also for our health and well-being. Here are some tips to help you live more sustainably:
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
- Reduce: Minimize waste by buying products with less packaging and choosing durable items.
- Reuse: Use items multiple times instead of throwing them away. For example, use a reusable water bottle instead of disposable ones.
