Wow, you have made it! You have reached Day 21. Well done!
Apologies for not getting these posts out everyday, but we hope you have found this advice on how to live your life eco-friendlier helpful. Now, we don’t expect you to have accomplished them all, but we do hope you have read the advice and it has made you think about how you can make some eco-friendly changes into your life. Over time if you keep attempting to follow these suggestions, you will find you will start being more aware and you will be living a greener life.
Our final suggestion is to live simply. Only buy what you need and reuse where you can. By buying less and reducing what you use, it means the waste you create is less. If you look around your house you will be amazed at the amount of stuff you gather, but never use. If an item hasn’t been touched or seen by you in 6 months, you should consider either giving it to someone or an opt shop, or repurposing it so it does become useful to you. With our house moving I have got rid of so much stuff. Most were sold in garage sales, which meant I benefitted from the money, but I felt a sense of relief getting rid of all the clutter. I feel more organised and I have what I need. You will be amazed at what decluttering can do for you and the environment.
If you have just joined us over the last few days or you need to go back to our earlier tasks, here is a recap of all the suggestions we have made (click on th title to get the link):
Day 2 Make a meal plan and grocery list
Day 3 Make the switch to refillable products
Day 5 Ditch the disposable coffee cup
Day 7 What chemicals are lurking in at your Kitchen and Laundry cupboards
Day 8 Refuse to buy bottled water
Day 11 Switch to energy efficient light bulbs

Day 14 Avoid pre-packaged fruit and veg
Day 16 One person's trash is another's treasure
Day 21 Simple Living
Any thoughts on the tasks/suggestions? Did you find it easy to make some of the changes? Don’t worry if you can only do a few of the tasks at a time. Give yourself a chance to master one or two of the tasks before starting the next one. Soon you will be a Greener You.
