All About Sustainability

Every year, the whole planet comes together to celebrate none other than...our planet!

Our home feeds and nurtures us, gives us a wealth of natural resources, and is always there for us; as its inhabitants, the least we can do is work together to preserve it.

From reducing your plastic use to walking to work more often, changing up your habits in the smallest ways could have the biggest impact on our planet. After all, Earth Day is also a reminder that it is up to us to take action against the looming threat of climate change.

In addition to other lifestyle practices, take your Earth Day celebrations to the kitchen this year with
these ideas on how to be more sustainable with food (delicious recipes included!).
