These are some super simple life changes that will help to save the environment.

1. Use bars of soap instead of liquid 

This saves tons of plastic and there are many natural and gentle brands.

3. Use Ecosia instead of Google

Ad revenue pays for trees! Every 45 searches you'll plant a tree!

4. Switch to a menstrual cup

Switching will save you money and decrease your chances of TSS.

7. Switch to a different brand of toilet paper

Who Gives A Crap is made with recycled materials and the company donates 50% of their profits to help improve sanitation in the developing world.

8. Take your own bags to the grocery store

What are you doing with all those extra plastic bags anyways?

9. Invest in some dryer balls

As young people, we typically don't use luxury items like dryer sheets. However, dryer balls last forever and with just a few drops of your favorite essential oil, your laundry will smell amazing.

10. Buy reusable produce bags

Again, saves you from using so much plastic!

11. Get a cute water bottle

Not only will this help you use less plastic, but it will also encourage you to drink more water. There are so many cute designs!

Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of.
