Here is a short list for action toward a sustainable world. We, the consumers, have the power!
- Reduce demand on industrial agriculture (local gardens, perennials, and forest garden alternatives – see beginning forest gardening video!)
- Buy from farmers who care about ecology
- Grow your own food (start small!)
- Plant a tree!
- Refuse: single-use, non-biodegradables (plastic, books, games, clothing, etc.)
- Reduce: use libraries for books, movies, games, and toys
- Reuse: upcycle, craft, and buy used resources
- Use communal spaces for gardening, laundry, cooking, living, or celebrating
- Reduce your waste and consumption (e.g. reducing food waste video)
- Eat less meat, sustainably-raised meat, or no meat
- Use renewable and natural energy
- Make decisions for seven generations in the future
- Certify or encourage certification as a Green Business
- Donate time or funds
