Replace all your PFAS cookware with an alternative of your choice.

Realizing that electric cars are not harmless to the earth; people think they're great just because they don't use fossil fuels, but the chemicals used in their batteries are definitely not inert. Just because it's better than gasoline does not mean it is good enough. We still have a lot of work to do.

Disposing of household chemicals properly. Our groundwater is way more contaminated than most people realize and it's kind of amazing we haven't all died yet. Look at what it does to fish, and then wonder how you would survive if you had to live in it. Please, there are safe methods of disposal, bleach or ammonia should never just be poured down the drain

When you are creating a concept for your landscaping, stick with plants that are known to thrive in your climate. Invasive species have been transported from other places so many times just because they're pretty, but it really messes up the ecosystem because nature has a way of surviving even when you think you have it under control
