I have been planting more plants than ever this year and enjoying every sunrise and sunset this spring. It has been so fun to get smoothies every Wednesday and go for a walk in our local prairie restorations!

要像保护眼睛一样保护生态环境，要像对待生命一样对待生态环境。

Over time, T-shirts add up. Turn those T-shirts you no longer wear into blankets! This is a great way to reduce waste and give those items that have been sitting in the bottom of your closet a new life.

We often forget to turn off the lights when we leave a room, leaving them on all day. Make it a habit to turn off the lights when you leave, and you can save energy without even noticing!

为了减少对环境的影响，选择那些负责任地使用资源并致力于减少气体排放和浪费的公司的产品。如果你有用于投资的钱，例如通过养老基金投资，这笔基金可能支持化石燃料或森林砍伐。确保你的储蓄投资于环境可持续的企业，可以大大减少你的碳足迹。

当你扔掉食物时，你也在浪费用于种植、生产、包装和运输食物的资源和能源。而当食物在垃圾填埋场腐烂时，会产生甲烷，这是一种强大的温室气体。因此，请只购买你需要的东西，买的东西要使用，并将任何厨余进行堆肥。减少食物浪费可以使你的碳足迹每年减少多达300公斤的二氧化碳。

When traveling, try to take buses, subways, or bicycles, and drive your own car less often to reduce exhaust emissions. People who have private cars should try to use unleaded gasoline, as lead can seriously damage a person's health and intelligence.

多吃蔬菜、水果、全谷物、豆类、坚果和种子，少吃肉类和奶类，可以大大降低你对环境的影响。生产以植物为基础的食物通常会减少温室气体排放，并且需要较少的能源、土地和水。

缩短淋浴时间至五分钟，看似微不足道，却能有效降低个人用水量和能源消耗。若能将这一习惯推广至社会层面，其累积效应将十分可观，显著减轻城市供水压力，并降低因能源生产带来的环境污染。
