We have one planet, one future and one chance to make it a safe, healthy place for our children and their children. For Earth Day 2022, the theme is ‘Invest in Our Planet’. While we know we cannot literally invest all on our own, there are many ways each of us can do some small things that can become a big investment when our collective efforts come together.

Earth Day 2022: Better Habits Start With Each of Us

What does this look like? How can we change our own habits to help restore a sustainable future? Here are some ideas for consumers and citizens both for Earth Day 2022 and beyond. 

  • Put down the bottle! Bottled water is NOT an investment in the future, but quite the opposite. Plastic water bottles take between 450-1,000 years to biodegrade – and over 91% of plastic water bottles or single-use plastic ends up in our landfills as toxic waste! Choose a home drinking water system like reverse osmosis  to improve the quality of your drinking water at home and eliminate the need for single-use bottles. 
  • Choose eco-friendly and effective water-using products and services that put the environment as a priority. 
  • Educate and inform yourself about sustainable products and practices and invest in them. We can sway the market when enough consumers choose this route. Small changes and some better choices can go a long way to supporting sustainable alternatives.
  • Recycle.
  • Reduce water waste in your home and outside your home. 
  • Register and vote for candidates who have plans to invest in our planet and will lead their constituents to do the right things in the right ways. 
  • Get involved to help promote these ideas.
  • Attend community events to spread information to others in your community.
  • Insist on local leaders putting the environment as a priority. 
  • Support local businesses that are investing in the future of our planet.
