When you wake up in the morning, first off you start making choices. Some are easy - Can you bring your own bags to the store? Take a shorter shower? Some are harder though, and take more than just the morning to figure out - should you wear a brand new pair of jeans or something secondhand? Can you remember to make or buy your lunch in containers that are totally reusable? Where can you buy shoes that don't have a huge environmental consequence?

Making choices is the greatest power that we have to make change in the world. And the best part is… with the first choice you make, you have made a change. If you choose to bring your own bags or a backpack to the store (instead of getting brand new bags), then you did it. Somewhere out there, we made a couple less plastic bags in a factory that put out a bit less greenhouse gases.
