10 Reasons You Should Be More Environmentally Conscious

In This Article:

Reduce, reuse, recycle, we have all been taught this since elementary school. How many of us actually implement this in our daily lives?

1. Because sea turtles are precious and they do not deserve this

2. It is cheaper

You won't be throwing your paper plates (and money) in the trash.

3. Provide a safer planet for YOUR kids

Protecting the environment will help people in many generations to come.

4. Stop harming sea creatures

Each plastic bag you throw away, it can kill as many as 1 million sea creatures annually.

5. Feel better about yourself

Because you are doing the right thing.

6. Water is limited

7. Provide a safer planet for you

Because it is the only one we have.

8. Protect widlife

There are already so many endangered species.

9. Breathe better

By not littering.

10. Reduce your carbon foot print

By purchasing more locally grown products.

Be the person who changes the world.

Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
