Climate + Air
WALK MORE DAILY
Switching to walking or cycling for more of our shorter journeys helps to protect biodiversity. It creates less noise, less air pollution, and results in fewer emissions that are warming the atmosphere.
Freshwater + Oceans
Say No to Plastic Straws
An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When marine wildlife ingest plastic, they have a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

Choose Eco-friendly Products
I will opt to use eco-friendly products.Eco-friendly products do not harm the environment or the ecology during their production, use, or disposal. It is often made of natural products, but care is taken not to harm nature, even if the raw materials are natural. E.g. biodegradable products, bamboo products, reworked clothes
