Small changes make a difference on Earth Day
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — On Earth Day, local advocates say one person’s actions can make a difference.
Jessica Maldonado with 316 United says small things like unplugging things you’re not using, paying attention to packaging, not using plastic bottles, turning off lights and water, and keeping your thermostat at an energy-efficient temperature make a difference.
“Practice mindfulness with every action throughout your day with the intention to make small habit changes, and you’ll really notice how much of a difference you can make and the benefits for your life and those around you,” Maldonado said.

Tissu is a sewing studio and slow fashion school. One of their focuses is sustainable fashion. The owner, Nina Winter, says being mindful of purchasing clothes can make a difference.
“It’s slowing down thinking about where your fabrics come from, where your clothing comes from,” Winter said. “So it’s just taking a simple moment to take a step back instead of going out and shopping at all the big chain stores and reusing what you have in your closet. So upcycling, you can pretty much learn to sew from scratch, which is what we do here.”
