Favorite Sustainable living tip:  To lower your carbon footprint, bike more instead of driving and try to eat fewer animal products. Try to opt for used clothes over fast fashion- go thrifting or buy from consignment stores! Avoid using disposable dryer sheets or commercial fabric softener. Instead, you can make your own dryer sheets easily with vinegar and essential oils!
