· When you eat organic foods, you are supporting farmers that do not use pesticides which are harmful to the environment.
· Organic foods will cost a bit more, but they are better both for the environment and for your health.
Watch the Packaging
· When you do need to buy something new, try to find products that do not use unnecessary packaging. Such packaging accounts for a lot of what is thrown away by consumers each year.
· Write to companies that use too much packaging and let them know that you would love to buy their products, but that you will not do so until they eliminate what will potentially become land pollution.
