How to be more ecofriendly - Part 1






1. Forget plastic shopping bags



Use reusable bags when shopping groceries and everything else. Make your own DIY tote or find pretty ones from Etsy.


2. Turn off electronic appliances when you don't use them



Avoid standby and pull the plug. You can also save some money by doing this!

3. Don't use your car

You can save gas by walking and cycling. It's also a great exercise.    Always choose a public transportation if possible.

4. Trains beat planes


Travel by train to reduce carbon dioxide. Planes might be faster, but trains usually stop at city centers and there can be wonderful views during your trip.

5. Become a vegetarian once a week
