'I’d encourage people to use Earth Day to make some small and simple changes to their daily routine. With some planning, you’d be surprised at the difference these can make, both personally and to our planet' EarthDay2022
Every year on April 22, Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. Celebrated by more than a billion people worldwide, it aims to raise awareness of the importance of long-term ecological sustainability.Tessa Clarke, CEO and co-founder of community sharing app OLIO is here to help with 24 simple planet-friendly ideas we can put into action in 24 hours to help protect the environment.
2. Ditch your plastic toothbrush: opt for a bamboo toothbrush instead. This one simple swap instantly cuts down on the amount of plastic you use on a daily basis. 7. Maximise your lunch break: How about using your lunch break to plan your summer holiday? Make sure to stay grounded and travel by train if possible.
4. Treat your co-workers: Sometimes it’s good to do a recce of your kitchen cupboards and see what needs using up. Put that half a bag of flour and jar of sugar to good use - whip up a batch of cookies to share with your coworkers - it’s guaranteed to put a smile on everyone’s face. 2. Fridge inventory: after your batch cook, it’s time for a quick inventory of your fridge. What are you unlikely to use over the next few days? Make sure you list anything you won’t get round to eating on OLIO so that someone else can make use of it instead.
6. Switch your energy bill before bedtime. If it’s been on your to-do list for a while, let’s make Earth Day the day you *finally* quit dirty energy and switch to a green energy provider instead! It surprisingly quick to do, and sites such as The Big Clean Switch or Green Energy Switch can be a great place to start.
