Planet Friendly Activities

Fun and easy ways to live sustainably.

Sustainable living means we prioritize the use of natural and renewable resources instead of creating excess waste and depleting environmental resources for future generations.

On the surface, it can be incredibly daunting to reduce our environmental footprint, especially when we see that others around us are not doing their part. But when we break it down into small steps, we realize we have more power than we thought. The accumulation of these choices from turning off your lights to save energy, to protecting endangered birds, to choosing products that are made with sustainably-sourced ingredients — that can make all the difference.

To make sustainable living more accessible, we’ve created hundreds of planet-friendly activities and tips to help us all connect deeper with nature, and live cleaner and healthier. These are activities you can adopt any day and every day so when you’re looking for more inspiration, visit our website at
