Summer is here, boo! Time to dust off your pool floats, whip out those summer suits and soak up that vitamin D. But wait! Before you dive headfirst into full-on summer fun, let's talk about being a sustainable summer slay-queen. Because looking good and feeling good about the planet is the ultimate power move.
Ditch the Disposables: Hello, Reusable Fam!
Plastic cups at picnics? So last season. This summer, it's all about the reusable fam. Invest in a cute, S'well bottle to keep your H20 ice-cold all day. Pack mason jars for salads and snacks - they're perfect for portion control and look Insta-worthy to boot. And those plastic straws? ♀️ Stainless steel or bamboo straws are where it's at.
Sunscreen Savvy: Protecting Your Skin and the Oceans
We all love a golden tan, but harsh chemical sunscreens can damage coral reefs. Opt for reef-safe formulas that are gentle on your skin and our oceans. Mineral sunscreens are a great option, and don't forget to reapply every two hours (or more often if you're swimming). For extra eco-points, look for brands that use recycled packaging.
Beat the Heat, Not the Planet: Eco-Conscious Cooling Hacks
Air conditioning blasting all summer? Not cute for the environment (or your electricity bill). There are plenty of sustainable ways to stay cool. Swap out those blackout curtains for light, breezy ones that let in natural airflow. Plant trees around your house for shade. And embrace the power of a chilled pitcher of homemade lemonade (bonus points if you use reusable ice cubes!).
Sustainable Summer Slay
Summer shouldn't mean sacrificing the planet for fun. By making these simple swaps, you can be an eco-warrior while still rocking those summer vibes. So go forth, conquer those summer adventures, and leave a positive footprint while you're at it. Because a sustainable summer is the hottest trend of all. #EcoBae #GuiltFreeSummerGlowUp
