Sustainable Bingo

Happy earth month, everybody! This year for earth month, I made a series of environmentally focused bingo sheets to inspire people of all ages.

The issues impacting our changing world are vast, and that can make living sustainably feel daunting for a lot of people. But I think the varied nature of climate issues can actually be used to our advantage. While few people can live their lives completely sustainably, I believe everyone can make eco-friendly shifts in at least a few areas of their lives. With that in mind, I designed 3 sets of Bingo Sheets to introduce positive climate actions to people as young as 3 years old. My hope is that individuals who complete these bingo sheets will look at their daily actions and realize that they have power in their lives to make better choices for themselves, their communities, and their planet. Enjoy!

Ten Things (January)

Living sustainably is all about the choices we make. It isn’t accomplished in one day or in one action, but rather in many actions performed over a lifetime. That’s why I’m going to start a year long series where I detail ten sustainable actions/habits I’ve done that month to lower my environmental impact. Some of these habits are done daily, others occasionally, but they are all done with the intention of living more mindfully and sustainably. My hope is that this monthly series will illuminate how varied sustainable actions can be, and how life and habits can shift with the seasons.

Planning Ahead (Breakfast)

A sustainable lifestyle can often be portrayed by perfection: matching mason jars and reusable straws, canvas tote bags and empty countertops, pantries without a single piece of packaging in sight. But life isn’t perfect, and the best of intentions can be forgotten in times of stress. Today I’d like to share with you a few ways I make my life easier for when times get tough.
