February is known for Valentines day and for showing love to friends and lovers, but something else that can be included with these displays of love is showing love to the environment.
- Consider Taking Up Vegan Baking or other Recipes.
Creators like https://booboosbakery.com/ are great inspirations.
- Plant trees as much as you can!
An obvious is planting trees. A fun way to take a break from any work is to take care of plants or even help grow new ones. A Native Garden is being started on campus but gardens are needed everywhere. Not only do they make our places more fun to be in, but they help our air quality.
- When there’s the option to recycle, don’t mistake the trash can for the recycling bin.
It can be easy to just throw trash away with no second thought on busy days every day, but if there’s a recycling bin nearby, be mindful of making sure the recyclables actually get to be recycled.
- Free time on the weekends? Spend it with San Dimas Canyon Nature Center!
They contribute to things like invasive weed pulling, planting helpful plants, animal trails, and hikes. Moreover, you can check out the bird sanctuary and gift shop after!
- Beach Day?
Most people love beach days because it’s undeniable how irreplaceable being near the ocean with your closes ones can be, but it’s just as easy to include beach clean ups with it through nearby organizations.
- Consider donating spare change to Pasadena Humane Society
- Grow some Milkweed and Penstemon
Butterflies and Hummingbirds love these plants.
- Plant Trees with Treepeople, SDCNC, Sierra Club, and CA Parks
They contribute to a lot of restoration!
- Shop sustainably and don’t give in to consumerism
Trend cycles are fun but they should encourage you to fall in love with your sense of style and to be creative with being fashionable.
The world has a lot of love but the environment could always have more love shown to it!
