Eco-Friendly Resolutions Happy New Year! It’s 2020 and the BIGGEST resolutions to consider right now are ones that help the planet. Here’s 4 Eco-Friendly Resolutions for the New Year: 1. Say “No” to Plastic Straws: Over 500 million plastic straws are used in the U.S. each day and are usually dropped into a garbage can without further thought. Politely requesting “no straw, please” whenever ordering a drink, or opting to use a reusable straw made from stainless steel or silicon will help prevent these short- lived tools from ending up in our oceans and landfills. 2. Always Bring a Reusable Water Bottle: Using reusable water bottles helps the environment by using fewer resources, emitting less harmful gas, and protecting water resources and the creatures who live underwater. Make it a habit to ‘grab-and -go’ daily with your reusable water bottle everywhere you go. 3. Don’t Trash, Donate! Before you toss out old or unwanted items, consider donating them to a local nonprofit or charity. This prevents usable items such as furniture and clothing from ending up in the landfill and gives them a chance at second life. You’ve heard the saying, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” 4. Buy Local & Organic (When You Can): When you buy “organic,” you’re buying from farms committed to environmentally friendly agricultural methods. However, when organic food travels long distances to market, also known as food miles, it creates pollution that sometimes outweighs the positive effects of organic farming. Buying food that’s grown locally not only reduces environmental costs associated with food miles, but it also allows you to help your community's economy. FOLLOW V.V.S.

Resoluiciones Ecólogicas ¡Feliz año nuevo! Es 2020 y las resoluciones más importantes a
considerar en este momento son las que ayudan al planeta. Aquí Hay 4 Resoluciones Ecológicas Para el Año Nuevo:
1. Di “No” a los Popotes de Plástico: Cada día se usan más de 500 millones de
pajitas de plástico en los US y generalmente se tiran a la basura sin pensarlo más.
Solicitar cortésmente "no popote, por favor" cada vez que ordene una bebida, u opte
por usar una paja reutilizable hecha de acero inoxidable o silicio ayudará a evitar
que estas herramientas de corta duración terminen en nuestros océanos y
vertederos.
2. Siempre Traiga una Botella de Agua Reutilizable: El uso de botellas de agua
reutilizables ayuda al medio ambiente al usar menos recursos, emitir menos gases
nocivos y proteger los recursos hídricos y las criaturas que viven bajo el agua.
Hagalo un habito, agarre y lleve su botella de agua reutilizable donde quiera que
vaya diariamente.
3. ¡ No Tires la Basura, Dona! Antes de tirar artículos viejos o no deseados,
considere donarlos a una organización benéfica local u organización sin fines de
lucro. Esto evita que elementos utilizables, como muebles y ropa, terminen en el
vertedero y les da la oportunidad de una segunda vida. "La basura de un hombre es
el tesoro de otro hombre."
4. Compra Productos locales y Orgánicos (Cuando Pueda): Cuando compra
"orgánico", está comprando en granjas comprometidas con métodos agrícolas
respetuosos con el medio ambiente. Sin embargo, cuando los alimentos orgánicos
viajan largas distancias al mercado, también conocidos como millas de alimentos,
crean una contaminación que a veces supera los efectos positivos de la agricultura
orgánica. La compra de alimentos que se cultivan localmente no solo reduce los
costos ambientales asociados con las millas de alimentos, sino que también le
permite ayudar a la economía de su comunidad.
