not idle our cars. 🚙

Plus a reminder from a fellow subscriber.

today we will not idle our cars. WHY 3.8 millions gallons of gas are wasted on idling in the US...every day. That's 34,000 tons of CO2*. We will reduce air pollution & our demand for gas by not idling. *The same CO2 is emitted by burning 36 million pounds of coal. HOW Turn off our cars when parked for more than 10 seconds. Keep on our coats to stay warm. Note: newer cars don't need as much time to warm up before driving. From the Community In response to yesterday's email, Subscriber Kristin S. reminds us that: "[For] Silk...the worms are boiled alive for us to gather an intact cocoon. Would be better to... [use] tussah or silk that has a burst cocoon where the worm became a moth." Thanks Kristin!   todaywewillnewsletter.com | #todaywewill Today We Will 377 W11th St NY, NY 10014 Add us to your address book Want to change how you receive these emails?

choose natural fibers.👖🌾🌏

today we will choose natural fibers. WHY Synthetic fibers are made of plastic, so when washed/discarded, micro plastic pollutes our water. We will reduce water plastic by choosing natural fibers. HOW Look at the labels inside garments — most say which fabrics are used. Opt for those with natural fibers like cotton, linen, or silk. Here's a list of synthetics to avoid. todaywewillnewsletter.com | #todaywewill Today We Will 377 W11th St NY, NY 10014 Add us to your address book Want to change how you receive these emails?

avoid fragrant products. (unless they're 100%, 100% natural)

today we will avoid fragrant products. (unless they're 100%, 100% natural.)   WHY 80-90% of synthetic fragrances are made of petroleum*...like, the stuff used to fuel car engines. We will reduce our dependence on oil by avoiding fragrant products. *Those made from natural oils only not included. But, be careful, companies don't have to list all ingredients. HOW From perfumes to detergents, we can choose fragrant-free products. Or, those without petroleum-derived ingredients on this list. Love fragrances? Try natural oils. todaywewillnewsletter.com | #todaywewill Today We Will 377 W11th St NY, NY 10014 Add us to your address book Want to change how you receive these emails?

today we will not eat meat. WHY Raising factory farm cattle is one of the top contributors to global warming*.

Falafel or hearty seed salad for lunch. Quinoa bowl for dinner. More inspiration here.
