Ileana D’Cruz Instagram – Every little bit counts ❤️ #Repost @unitednations ・・・ This summer we’re reposting our Lazy Person’s Guide to Saving the World for those of you who missed it the first time round. Our third and final installment — Neighbourhood Nice Guy — looks at what you can do outside your house to help address climate change and help achieve the #GlobalGoals for sustainable development. Here are some ideas: Shop locally. Supporting neighbourhood businesses keeps people employed and helps prevent trucks from driving far distances. Shop smart—plan meals, use shopping lists and avoid impulse buys. Don’t succumb to marketing tricks that lead you to buy more food than you need, particularly for perishable items. Though these may be less expensive per ounce, they can be more expensive overall if much of that food is discarded. Buy funny fruit—many fruits and vegetables are thrown out because their size, shape, or color are not “right”. Buying these perfectly good funny fruit, at the farmer’s market or elsewhere, utilizes food that might otherwise go to waste. Bike, walk or take public transport. Save the car trips for when you’ve got a big group. Use a refillable water bottle and coffee cup. Cut down on waste and maybe even save money at the coffee shop. Bring your own bag when you shop. Pass on the plastic bag and start carrying your own reusable totes. Take fewer napkins. You don’t need a handful of napkins to eat your takeout. Take just what you need. Maintain your car. A well-tuned car will emit fewer toxic fumes. Take advantage of your right to elect the leaders in your country and local community who support climate action. 📷 #UnitedNations Social Media #ParisAgreement
