Even Small Lifestyle Changes Can Help You Be Greener in Everyday Life

With April 22nd, 2020 officially marking 50 years of celebrating Earth Day, it's more important than ever to be green. If you're looking for simple changes you can make at home in honor of the holiday, these easy, eco-friendly lifestyle changes on our list will help guide you: little yet important things like reusing the items you already have, purchasing environmentally-friendly products that don't come in excess packaging, and reducing your daily water and energy consumption. After all, even a tiny bit goes a long way when it comes to saving the earth!

One way to be smart shopper is to keep your eyes out for products with the Green Good Housekeeping Seal, or winners of our most recent Good Housekeeping Sustainable Packaging Awards. As Anne Marie Bonneau of Zero-Waste Chef once said, “We don't need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.” Here are some tips to help you kick off your sustainable-living journey. Earth Day comes once a year, but these lifestyle changes could be beneficial for the other 364 days, as well as years to come! We only have one (Mother) Earth, so let's treat her right.
