If you know how helpful recycling can be or the difference that avoiding single-use items such as paper or plastic cups can make, it is a small sacrifice to commit to recycling regularly and avoid using disposable coffee cups either by opting for normal cups or carrying a reusable coffee mug with you. Did you know that a lot of places give discounts to customers that bring their own cup? While this seems like a small change, it can really make a difference. It is also the kind of change that matters the most because it is about behavioral change which is critical to making progress as a society. Or it might be that you are using a car which emits a high level of pollutants. You could consider replacing it with a hybrid car which will also help you cut fuel costs. Even better, you can choose to leave your car at home and use public transport or cycle to work and different chores. For longer distances, consider whether traveling by train as an option instead of a plane. Similarly, opt for products that do not emit any toxic substances into our environment.
