Happy Earth Day, everyone! While it's nice to have one day during the year that we all stop and focus on making an effort to preserve our environment and save our planet from the negative effects of climate change
There are a few ways that you can relieve stress while helping the environment at the same time. Here are top tips:
Simplify
Streamlining your lifestyle by getting rid of junk mail is a great way to cut down on paper clutter (a real stress-creator), and help save trees. Read this article for other ways to simplify life.
Help Others
Clean out your closets and donate what you don't need. You'll get rid of more clutter (and actually feel like you have more, because you can find what you want), you'll benefit from feelings of altruism, and you'll get your belongings reused, which is one of the big three recommendations for a greener world.
Plant a Garden
There are some wonderful stress management benefits to gardening, and you can enjoy them while you make your yard more beautiful and help clean up the air.
Take a Walk
If you try to walk more and use your car less, you can save gas (which would benefit the planet and your budget!), and provide you with the stress relief benefits of exercise.
