• reuse empty jam/sauce jars to make pretty tea light candle holders 
• start your own vegetable garden
• buy more local, natural & organic products 
• use recycled paper in your office 
• stop buying plastic bottled water (use a refillable stainless steel water bottle)
• switch from cow's milk to soy milk or almond milk
• reduce your carbon footprint (turn lights off, reduce water use, unplug electronics)
• use organic skincare and natural beauty remedies 
• switch from coffee to organic green tea
• burn only natural beeswax or soy candles 
• make donations to animal rights charities & conservation groups
