Let's be honest with each other. Change is hard and making the necessary changes to be able to live a greener and more sustainable life can seem daunting – nearly impossible – at first. But no one says that you need to completely revamp yourself in one go. That would be the impossible thing! It’s better to take small steps towards a more sustainable life and slowly – but steadily – changing your daily routines. 

So, let’s help each other by sharing tips on how you can live a greener life today. Let’s see if we can post 100 ways to save the earth. It doesn’t matter if they are big or small, they just need to be realistic and manageable. I’ll go first! 

1. Contact your local politician. 
It’s obviously impossible to save the earth alone. For that, we need broad popular support. And one way to make this happen is to support politicians that support green policies on both a local, national and global level. 

Most of us live in representative democracies which means that we each have politicians that are supposed to represent our interests. Unfortunately, many of our politicians don’t understand the severity of the climate crisis or they are blindly unaware of the current ecological collapse. Or maybe they simply don’t care, for various reasons. The reasons could be many. But the first step towards changing this reality is to contact your local politicians and push for green policies that can make a real and lasting change in your local – or global community. Make them aware that their constituents are worried about the degradation of our environment and climate, and so on. You can do this in so many ways. You can make a phone call, send an email or contact your politician using social media. 

If you already have a politician hat supports your green interests, then that’s great! But you can still make a difference by contacting him or her to push and encourage for more, or even better, thanking him or her for their support and work. Making sure that our politicians know that they have the support of the constituents that they represent is just as important as swaying non-green politicians to our side.
