You don't have to give up meat for the rest of your life but try having at least one meat-free day a week! Each hamburger that comes from animals on ex-forestry ground is purely responsible for the mass destruction of 55 square feet of forest By switching to vegetarian a few times, you're doing the Earth a massive favor - if you can't resist the urge...try mock meat. It's just as tasty as regular meat.

2. Go for a shower instead...

Switching your bubble bath to a nice shower can make a huge difference - baths contain approximately twice the amount of water a shower uses. Not only do you save water and money, you save time as well!

3. Buy your own water bottle...

I know I know...those disposable plastic ones are small and compact - perfect for on the go. But so are normal ones...you can get them at economical prices, save all that plastic, and save the ocean! What's more, you're doing a favor for your health too since by drinking from disposable plastic bottles, you risk ingesting chemicals used to make these bottles as the toxins leach into the water over time.

4. Use Cruise Control...

That's right...it's not too much maintenance and imagine if everyone in your neighborhood did that - that would be a lot of trees! If you live in a cold area like the UK, a good tree to plant is an apple tree - it takes only 6 years to bear fruit and you can make some pretty tasty dishes from it.

6. Don't mind bees? Buy a beehive...

Feeling brave? You probably have never heard of buying a hive - but you can! Do take care when hanging the hive, where you hang it, checking on it etc. Seek a professional for help if you're unsure. And...without bees, the planet would only last for around 60 years!

7. Spend a day cooking for your friends...
