- Instead of fast fashion, buy vintage clothing, saving you money while saving the planet.
- Check out Upsell, OfferUp and LetGo apps for resale from sofas to bowling balls.

- Say no to products made with palm oil or palm fruit. Palm oil production is the largest driver of rainforest deforestation. When you boycott these products you are helping to rescue the orangutan population and their forest homes. Check the ingredient label, you’ll find palm in products from shampoo and cosmetics to vegan butter.
- Buy carbon offsets for air travel through the Nature Conservancy. They partner with leading airlines like Delta to reduce the carbon footprint.
