While we work to preserve habitats for elephants abroad, your place on the planet is the best place to care for your own habitat. Here are ten things we can do on a daily basis for our beloved planet, because everyday is Earth Day!
- Before heading to the grocery store, grab a fun reusable bag! An additional perk of purchasing from Elephant Pants is part of the proceeds go to protecting elephants!
- Set aside food scraps and create a compost bin! Or, one step further, raise chickens to take care of any leftovers.
- Instead of using air fresheners that come in aerosol cans, use essential oils and a oil burner or diffuser, like the ones sold at The Body Shop!
- Instead of buying plastic bottles, invest in a reusable water bottle! You can find my favorite here! (And you can decorate them with fun stickers)

- Download your music versus buying "packaged" albums!
- Be sure to always turn off the water when brushing your teeth or washing your face.
- Go thrift shopping! I always have a blast looking for gently used clothing, and you automatically avoid having the same outfit as a friend.
- Take public transportation or carpool!

- Meatless Monday is a great way to consume more vegetables and eat lower on the food chain, which adds to a decrease in pollution and supports long-term health!
- Choose local food whenever possible (who doesn't love a farmers market?)
Go make a difference!
