\"\"<\/p>\n

Wednesday:\u00a0Audit your\u00a0shopping habits<\/h5>\n

Think about the power of your purchase.\u00a0Make a list of\u00a0the\u00a05\u00a0grocery\u00a0brands you buy\u00a0most\u00a0frequently\u00a0and\u00a0do a bit of research\u2014do\u00a0your favorite brands have\u00a0environmental practices\u00a0that\u00a0align with your values?\u00a0Our friends at\u00a0Oatly, for example,\u00a0sum it up pretty well: \u201cWe are not a perfect company, not even close, but our intentions are true. We would like to be judged by the good we do and not just the pretty words we say.\u201d\u00a0You can learn more about Gotham Greens\u2019\u00a0story,\u00a0values,\u00a0and vision\u00a0here<\/a><\/p>\n

Thursday:\u00a0Try a greener cleaner<\/h5>\n

Next time you\u00a0make a mess, hold off on the harsh\u00a0cleaners and try a\u00a0non-toxic,\u00a0DIY solution instead.\u00a0Start with\u00a0everyday\u00a0items\u00a0you\u00a0already\u00a0have\u2014like baking soda,\u00a0white vinegar,\u00a0hydrogen\u00a0peroxide,\u00a0and fresh herbs\u2014then\u00a0stock up on\u00a0extras like\u00a0essential oils\u00a0and\u00a0castile soap to take your green cleaning arsenal to the next level.\u00a0Check out some DIY cleaner recipes\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Friday:\u00a0Get thrifty<\/h5>\n

Out with the old, in with the thrifted. Take stock of your fall\/winter wardrobe\u00a0today\u00a0and donate the gently used clothing you\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0see yourself wearing this coming season. Then, instead of replacing those items with\u00a0brand new fast-fashion pieces, start your search at a secondhand shop.\u00a0Circular fashion is the future and sustainably\u00a0sourced clothing\u00a0will never go out of style.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Saturday:\u00a0Give your mailbox a break<\/h5>\n

No one likes an over-stuffed mailbox, especially when\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0full of junk mail and catalogs you never wanted in the first place.\u00a0Set aside a few minutes to finally set up paperless billing\u00a0once and for all\u2014gas, electric, credit card,\u00a0and so on. Cancel\u00a0subscriptions you no longer need,\u00a0and\u00a0if you find yourself getting a lot of junk mail,\u00a0use\u00a0this guide<\/a> to opt out\u00a0of mailing lists\u00a0you\u00a0probably don’t even realize\u00a0you\u2019re on.<\/p>\n

Sunday:\u00a0Refresh your laundry\u00a0routine<\/h5>\n

If your\u00a0typical\u00a0Laundry Day\u00a0involves lots of hot water and several dryer cycles,\u00a0make these easy\u00a0swaps for a more sustainable life. Save energy by washing\u00a0your clothes\u00a0in\u00a0cold\u00a0water\u00a0instead of hot\u00a0when you can.\u00a0Hang-dry your\u00a0clothes, too,\u00a0and\u00a0if you\u00a0can\u00a0do it\u00a0outside, even better.\u00a0And\u00a0only wash your clothes when you can fill the washing machine\u2014no more half-full cycles.<\/p>\n
