5 SIMPLE AND AFFORDABLE WAYS YOU CAN HELP THE ENVIRONMENT,

NO MATTER WHAT THE INFLATION RATE IS

1. ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES

Sometimes, giving time can be even more valuable than giving money. And we bet that you have a unique skill that could be of service to the environmental movement. You can also sign up for a tree planting event to plant trees in your local community!

2. COMPOST FOOD SCRAPS

With approximately 30-40% percent of the food supply in the United States becoming food waste, composting is a powerful action to reduce your waste, that anyone can take for the environment. With our free compost guide, you won't need any fancy equipment to get started!

3. RIDE YOUR BIKE TO WORK

If you already own a bike, then it's free transportation and helps the environment to boot. That's because transportation is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases — and accounted for 27% of the total US greenhouse gas emissions by economic sector in 2020.

4. GO VEGETARIAN

Whether it's for 10 years or one day a week, eating a vegetarian diet is a powerful environmental action that you can take to reduce your personal contribution to global deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change.

By planting a tree with One Tree Planted, you can help the environment for as little as one dollar. You can rest assured that each tree is planted with care by our knowledgeable reforestation partners on the ground and will have a positive environmental impact for many years to come.
