Tbh, it can be overwhelming trying to be more environmentally conscious with all the things we're “supposed” to be doing. Between recycling, conserving water, composting, and reducing waste, it feels like we're just not doing enough. But here’s the thing: it’s less about being the perfect environmentalist and more about finding sustainable swaps that work with your lifestyle — progress over perfection!

Sustainability is extra top-of-mind with Earth Day this week, and in the past year alone, we’ve seen just how huge an impact our small actions can have on the environment. (Seriously, just watch David Attenborough’s new doc…in just a few weeks after lockdown, air pollution cleared so much in Jalandhar, India, that the snowy peaks of the Himalayas were visible for the FIRST TIME IN THREE DECADES!)

We’ve really wanted to improve our carbon footprints and become more eco-conscious, so in this week’s quickie, we’re giving you 12 easy tips for going green that you can implement around your kitchen, living room, bathroom, closet, shopping habits, and outdoor space to live a more sustainable life.
