Do you love nature and care about the environment? Here are 5 simple and powerful actions you can take that really make a difference. 1-CONSUME LESS MEAT PRODUCTS: Meat production is very hard on the environment. For the amount of grain and water that it takes to feed one cow, you can feed 100 people! The industrial meat system has wreaked havoc on the environment and it needs to slow down. 2-THINK GREEN WHEN YOU CLEAN: Cleaning products that contain chlorine, petroleum distillates and other harmful chemicals eventually end up in our water supply. Look for non-toxic natural alternatives available now. 3-GET A WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM: A good part of the billions of plastic bottles used every year end up in the ocean, polluting it and harming marine life. There are inexpensive water filtration systems for your home available now. You will save money in the long run, too. 4-PLANT A TREE: You can plant a tree yourself or go to the myriad of organizations that accept donations and will plant a tree on your behalf. 5-TRY ORGANIC FOOD: Organic food production systems do not rely on harmful pesticide and herbicide use. Consume organic produce and you not only protect the environment but also you will protect your health. You can also try planting some of your own food. Connecting with the earth is a great reminder of what is truly important.
