VĂN BẢN:

     The earth is warming at an alarming rate, and humans are running out of non-renewable resources. As an individual, you’ve become increasingly aware of the impact your life has on the planet. Even if you make every effort to live sustainably, you likely won’t do much to help the planet. However, if you take the concept of green living beyond a personal approach and into the community, your collective effort will make a huge difference.

    One way you can inspire your community to go green is by shopping locally. That means frequenting local farmers’ markets and small family-owned businesses, as well as farm-to-table restaurants. The goal is to reduce food miles while supporting the local economy. This local shopping time can allow you to get to know your community.

    You might also make occasional trips to the local thrift shop or charity organization to donate food or unwanted, lightly used items. Ask your neighbors if they have anything they’d like to donate, and offer to take it for them. Better yet, you could even host a community clothing or food drive to collect items. Doing this will inspire your community to think twice before tossing unwanted items in the trash, and maybe even encourage your neighbors to purchase used items instead of heading to the store first.
