5 Easy Ways to Help the Environment

• News & Highlights

Our human activity significantly contributes to climate change, and we’re releasing greenhouse gases into Earth’s atmosphere at a rapid rate. Despite this, there are ways we can implement change on an individual level. As overwhelming as it might be to change your habits, even a few minor adjustments like these listed below can make more of a difference than you might think.

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

It can sometimes seem like the most convenient way to get rid of old furniture and goods you no longer need is to throw them in the trash and send them to a landfill. However, it can be worth arranging a Salvation Army donation pickup in order to donate your unused items to someone who needs them. 

Rather than sending a perfectly good table, bookcase, or children’s toys to a landfill where they can break down and emit greenhouse gasses, you donate your possessions to someone who may have otherwise not been able to afford them.
