Onondaga Central
It is our job as the next generation to contribute to the protection and preservation of our planet. While juggling school, jobs, and friends, maintaining an environmentally responsible lifestyle can be difficult. Here are a few ideas for having an eco-friendly fall without skipping the fun:
Skip the chores! Raking leaves disrupts the natural cycle that occurs in the autumn. When leaves fall to the ground, they decompose over time, returning nutrients to the soil. This is beneficial to the environment, allowing plants to grow and thrive. If you prefer to move the leaves, you can add them to a compost pile or a garden. Shop local! Shopping locally minimizes the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by reducing the amount of time spent traveling. Onondaga, fortunately, is surrounded by farms and produce, making it easy to purchase fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables. You're not only assisting the environment, but you're also assisting local farmers and business owners. Treat yourself! With the popularity of warm pumpkin spice lattes and apple cider, now is a perfect time to invest in a reusable travel cup or mug. Reusable cups are the sustainable solution to plastic. They contribute to reducing the amount of plastic waste dumped into our oceans and landfills. So why should we be concerned about the environment? Manufacturing, transportation, and waste pollution all contribute to climate change (also known as global warming). Wildfires, low food production, and sickness are all possible outcomes. Every choice we make has an influence on the environment. Good, environmentally conscious decisions contribute to a healthy earth and its people.
