think longterm.

today we will think longterm. WHY By considering how long something lasts before consuming it, we might opt for a longer-lasting alternative. We will help reduce waste by thinking longterm. HOW Before consuming something, ask, "How long will it last?". If there's an alternative that lasts longer, try that. A reusable cup vs a paper one, for example. 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?

use a pot cover when boiling water.

today we will use a pot cover when boiling water. WHY Using a cover when heating water reduces the time it takes to boil. This reduces the energy used. We will reduce energy needed to boil water by using a cover. HOW Before turning the stove on to heat water, we put the pot on the stove and cover it. Then, turn on the stove. 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 a bar of soap over body wash.

today we will choose a bar of soap over body wash. WHY About 2 billion bottles of body wash head to landfills in the US every year. Most are made of plastic. We will reduce our plastic waste by opting for bars of soap. HOW When we're shopping for body wash, choose a bar of soap instead. Boom. Plastic crisis averted. The less packaging, the better. It's soap, after all. From subscribers on yesterday's tip: Pvang: Also, depending on the tool, it's often possible to rent from Home Depot or other collaborative platforms! Tara M. Today's letter is such a good tip! My library loans out garden and home tools! pattersonlibrary.org  Many cities also have tool libraries that have an even larger selection than we do. The library also loans out cake pans. Checking out your local library (and many systems allow patrons to use other libraries, too) can help save resources and money!  Georgia S. Some libraries also have tool rental programs! The Toronto Public Library has a fantastic tool rental system. Susan M. Also check out tool libraries & repair cafes that are popping up around the world. Nina A. Also, check with your local library - many have started lending a variety of tools and equipment. From mine, I can borrow a pressure washer, a sewing machine, a telescope, and more. Thanks for sharing, everyone!

borrow tools before we buy.👉🔧👈

today we will borrow tools before we buy. WHY Tools use energy & water to make and are heavy to move. This produces emissions. We will reduce emissions by borrowing tools before buying new ones. HOW When we need a tool, we can ask a neighbor for one. If they don't have any (or there are no neighbors), ask a friend. 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?
