Everyone does or should do something in their life to improve the planet. Rather it be becoming completely zero-waste, giving up meat, or just simply recycling, we all help the planet in one way or another. While these methods may be a life devotion or a simple change there is always room for improvement. Here are 10 simple changes you can make in your daily life that will make a big difference for our planet.
There have been a lot of studies going around that are saying that the more money people spend on experiences the happier they are compared to if they spent that same amount of money on material possessions. And I have to say, I am a very strong advocate of this which is why I am writing this post! Even though I am a poor, jobless, college student like most people my age, I have been lucky enough to go on a fair share of trips in the past. Most of these large scale trips I also paid for entirely by myself and without the assistance of my family, and honestly, I am so happy that I spent my money on an experience over clothes, food, etc.
Messing up. It happens to every vegetarian! It happens to me almost once a month it’s so bad! When it comes to Vegetarianism I’m not that strict. If I receive a beef patty over a veggie patty by accident I will eat it because I would rather have the animal die for a reason, not to be thrown into the trash. However, just because I accidentally eat meat or make a judgement call on it, doesn’t mean I want to or should eat meat. A lot of surprising things aren’t Vegetarian like you may have thought.
Let’s get real, we all have a lot of stuff. A lot of crap that we collect over the years that we have no idea where to place or what to do with. Even though we have tons of things with no home or need for we keep these items around out of laziness, the idea that “I will use this later”, or just because we don’t know what to do with it so it would just be easier to keep it for now. Even if you may not be on board with getting rid of anything but the bare essentials, you still can learn how to reduce your unneeded possessions.
Instagram is a social media platform that gained fame because photos are exclusively the only thing you can post to your profile. While it is awesome and amazing to have a platform where the only thing you see are photos and short video clips, Instagram can negatively impact your mental health. It impacted mine and that drove me to unfollow over 100 people.
We all know fast food is unhealthy, and if anyone tries to argue it isn’t watch “Supersize Me”. However, everyone eats it! Especially if you live in the United States. They are everywhere, they are cheap, and you get a lot of food. After becoming a vegetarian my fast food consumption dropped significantly, which is a good thing. However, there will still be times when you want a quick and cheap alternative over preparing dinner or going to a sit down. Now, I’m not saying, that you should eat unhealthy or should eat fast food all the time now. This post is to show that Vegetarians do have a lot of options for food, even at places who’s slogan is “We have the Meats!”. It can be done.
I have been a vegetarian for over four years now, and I don’t plan on going back to meat anytime soon. Over the past two years I also have been dating someone who does not enjoy the same diet as me and it works! Vegetarians and Meat-eaters can work out in the long run and it may not be as hard as you think.
I have been a vegetarian for over 4 years now and I have to say that I have heard a variety of questions. Some can be offensive and others are repetitive and annoying to hear on a daily basis.
As a college tour guide, I pretty much have seen and heard it all. Some parents and students do things which make giving the tour difficult or ask questions that are inappropriate or ridiculous. This post will tell you what not to do on a tour and what not to ask your tour guide.
As a college tour guide, I of all people can tell you what to ask on a campus tour. Most of the time, when I give a tour no one asks me any questions. It’s okay, I didn’t ask any questions on my tour either because I didn’t want to be put on the spot or just really couldn’t think of any. However, asking questions on a tour can be crucial to helping you decide on a school or feel like you better understand things.
