By Kathleen McElroy

Summer is the perfect time to make sure you are staying sustainable! Here is a list of five ways to promote sustainability!

1. Explore local gems

Exploring local areas can save fuel (and money)! Explore local trails, beaches, and natural attractions nearby!

2. Plant flowers

Gardening is good for your health and flowers are helpful for pollinators like bees! As well, planting your own vegetables and fruits can save grocery trips!

3. Biking! 

A great low-impact and eco-friendly way to travel, biking can be a perfect mode of transportation as you explore your town with friends!

4. Beach cleanup

Clean your local beach while you tan!

5. Reuse

Before throwing out old clothes, consider using your free time to upcycle your clothing!
