#28: Ease Into It

Cutting back on waste and reducing our carbon footprint is essential for the survival of our planet, but it can also feel overwhelming to get started. It involves making many changes to our routines and how we’ve done things our entire lives. Sometimes, it feels like too much, and it may just be easier to give up, thinking, “what’s the point, anyway? It can’t make that much of a difference.”

It is vital to remember that every little bit helps. If so many changes at once feel like you can’t keep up, that’s perfectly understandable. Just start small at first. Trust us; it will get easier over time. Once you’ve mastered one environmental change, you can add in another, then another, and so on. Every little bit of effort is worth it.
