How to celebrate World Environment Day this June 5 and beyond

Here at Pod & Parcel we’re huge advocates for Mother Earth, after all - she did us a big favor in blessing us with this whole coffee sitch. Truthfully, she deserves more than just one day in a year to be celebrated, but we’re totes here cheering her on and supplying you with our fave ways to celebrate World Environment Day… every day!

 

Let’s celebrate our Earth, she’s worth it!

We’re all about the good stuff here at Pod & Parcel; good wine, good coffee, and (most importantly) a good environment. That’s why we’re ready and roaring wit our top ways to celebrate World Environment Day this June 5th and beyond.

 

1. Take a road trip… via foot!

Transportation is one of the biggest causes of air pollution - so celebrate World Environment Day by cutting out the middle man (or car), popping your boots on and hitting the pavement. After all, those boots are made for walkin’ * Being out in the fresh air is also super beneficial for your mental health and reduces stress levels, so it’s a win-win for you and for the environment.

 

2. Get down with the 3 R’s (reduce, reuse, recycle)

Sometimes it’s easy to find ways to incorporate these practices into your everyday life and do your bit in reducing what is taken to landfill, but other times it can be a whole lot harder. Reducing the trash we create, reusing things that would’ve otherwise been thrown out, and recycling things to take on another life after your usage is the best habit to develop this World Environment Day. 

 

3. Shop Smart, Sip Smarter (The Sustainable Way)
