Being “green” can feel like an uphill climb. There are so many things to know and consider, so many issues to commit to, that even experienced activists can feel overwhelmed. Here are three no-stress green ideas to try today:<\/p>\n

1. Shop your closet<\/strong>
\nWhile shopping and thrifting, it can be easy to forget about the wealth of items collecting dust in your closet! Try using old clothes and accessories in exciting new combinations, such as wearing a top as a skirt, removing sequins, or cutting off and replacing built-in belts. Try bring old, ill-fitting clothes in for alternations\u2014 or do them yourself. A little tailoring makes a big difference, and will leave you looking polished.<\/p>\n

When taking photos, go natural... but not that natural.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most people use their cameras for informal pictures of friends and family. But why not try photographing and archiving the nature around you?

3. Grow Your Own Food<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like eating? Hate paying money for food?
\nGrow an indoor (or outdoor)\u00a0organic garden. Growing your produce\u00a0 is not only more affordable than buying it, but also cuts down on your trips to the supermarket (and petrol usage.) Not to mention it\u2019s great for holidays, when charities are most in need of food donations. Donate leftover vegetables, herbs, and fruits to your local shelters,\u00a0where they will be appreciated by those who need them most. This also counts as a tax-deductible donation, making\u00a0your garden\u00a0\u201cgreener\u201d than any of neighbors\u2019 lawns!<\/p>\n

Try it Now:<\/em><\/strong> Check out if your town offers free compost, the varieties of seasonal plants you can grow<\/a>, and which plants are native to your region<\/a>. Some make beautiful garden decor, others are beautiful and<\/em>\u00a0edible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
