We all know that we need to be more environmentally conscious and sustainable. But how? In honor of Earth Day, we’ve compiled a list of quick and easy ways you can make your life greener, starting with the most important thing- yourself.

Floss, razors, and shampoo bottles all are insanely bad for the planet, and we had no idea! If you know better, you do better, so take some time to read up on our natural resources so that you can better know their importance, and maybe even discover some better ways to help that aren’t on this list.
Go Plant Based
You don’t need to go full vegan and cut out all animal products from your life. But reducing them … Read the rest
