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.
