These 7 Questions Will Reveal An Easy Change You Should Make To Save The Environment

And finally, pick a word that resonates with you:

Meat production uses up [tons of resources](https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/veganism-environmental-impact-planet-reduced-plant-based-diet-humans-study-a8378631.html) — like land, water, and feed — and contributes to the emissions of greenhouse gases. So try going meatless! Even if it's just one day per week, it will significantly reduce your impact. And if you can't quit that carnivorous habit altogether, you might consider just giving up beef — which is far and away the [least sustainable](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/jul/21/giving-up-beef-reduce-carbon-footprint-more-than-cars) meat.

You should try going meatless one day per week.

A standard shower head pumps out [2.5 gallons](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/03/04/your-shower-is-wasting-huge-amounts-of-energy-and-water-heres-what-to-do-about-it/?utm_term=.8d8833528f19) of water per minute. So while those long, luxurious showers might feel great, they're also wasteful AF. Challenge yourself to a five-minute limit — once you get in the habit, it's pretty easy!

You should try taking shorter showers.

Every time you grab a bottled water from 7/11 or take a disposable cup from Starbucks, you're wasting plastic. So why not invest in some reusable options instead? They're inexpensive, and you might even save money in the long run — those bottled waters add up!

Try investing in a reusable water bottle and/or coffee cup.

Bar soap takes [way less energy](https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/plugged-in/the-benefits-of-a-bar-of-soap-that-is/) to produce, and it usually comes in less packaging. Plus, who doesn't like getting one of those fancy handmade soap bars that makes you feel luxe AF? Ditch those plastic soap bottles once and for all!

You should try switching out your body wash for a bar of soap.

Single-use plastic utensils lead to lots of unnecessary waste. Sure, you might not be able to avoid them in every setting, but here's a place to start: When you order take-out, ask them to leave the plastic utensils out of the bag. Your own cutlery is probably better to eat with anyway!

You should try breaking up with plastic utensils.

Plastic bags are horrible for the environment, so next time you shop, bring a reusable one instead! Not only will you save valuable resources and keep plastic out of the oceans, but also, they're just a lot nicer to carry around! No more bags ripping on you in the middle of the sidewalk. Win-win!

You should try bringing a reusable bag with you when you shop.
