How to Help Curb Climate Change This Week
I
f each of us takes even one small step to help the environment, we can make a difference. Every day that choice is (literally) in our hands—and in what we set curbside each week. We’re surrounded and it’s overwhelming: the top tips, tricks, and hacks to “act green,” “live sustainably,” or “create zero waste.” They tell us how to “recycle, regrow, or reuse what we have,” “refuse what we can,” and “reduce our carbon footprint.” It’s great information, seriously, but let’s be real—in this day and age, our brains are already on overload QVNA understands that frustration. Yet each week Queen Village’s sidewalks reveal opportunities to help curb climate change. So in honor of Earth Month and as a service to neighbors, we’ve compiled several eco-friendly choices to consider about items we typically toss. We’ll: • Share a key fact or two about how each item can damage our environment. • Suggest one small action step to help reduce that damage. • Give you the information you need to make each step easy to take.
