Eco Friendly (zero waste, go green, green living) Rubber Stamp

Show off your eco friendly beliefs with this shirt! Maybe wearing this around town will help you to convince your friends and neighbors to ditch plastic, buy some reusable straws, and go zero waste. It's worth the effort to be upfront with your beliefs. The more people are confronted with the truth about the environment, the more likely they are to take climate change seriously. Being environmentally friendly is so important, and not just for us but for all of our children and their children. How can you become more eco friendly? Here are some tips that you can use, or that you can share with the people you love. Every new eco friendly habit you form saves the Earth a little bit more! 1. Turn it off: Don't needlessly use energy, water, or anything else! Turn off the water when you're brushing your teeth, invest in a shower head that keeps water hot when you turn it off while you lather, and turn off the lights when you leave a room. 2. Invest: There is a lot of tech that is easier on our resources than the older stuff. Get some solar panels, or lights that turn on based on movement. A programmable thermostat means you can save energy when you're at work but still come home to a comfortable house. 3. Switch to reusable: Ditch the single use plastics. Get a good thermos, an awesome water bottle, and some utensils you don't mind taking to work. 4. Eat less meat: There are other ways to get fat and protein! Reducing the meat you eat has a significant impact on reducing your carbon footprint. Don't waste food: I have a whole blog post on this topic here: https://gold-miss.com/stop-wasting-food-with-these-must-have-tools/ If you’re anything like me, you’re kind of obsessed with food waste. Around one third of the food produced in the world gets lost of wasted. That’s a huge deal, and no doubt it has a big environmental impact. It also has an impact on our wallets. I hate wasting food, and I try my best to use everything I can. There are a few tools that I have that make that easier, and I thought I would share them! 5. Switch to LEDs: This is a simple one. If you’re buying new Christmas lights this year, choose LEDs. They use only 10% of the power of a conventional string of CHristmas lights. The icing on the cake? Conventional Christmas lights are also three times more likely to cause household fires than LEDs. In fact, LED lights are up to 80% more efficient than incandescent or fluorescent lights. 95% of the energy spent by LEDS is converted into light. That means only 5% of that energy is wasted! On top of that, LED lights have no toxic elements and distribute light better, meaning you need fewer lights. And the kicker is that LEDs have a longer life span, which means you’ll need to replace fewer bulbs when you pull your lights back out next year.
