With a new school year beginning and the lazy days of summer ending, here are some ways to jump start this fall healthily, by making changes to your everyday routine to include easy and greener practices.
1. Get Educated- Teens Turning Green works to eliminate toxic exposures that threaten us and our environment, focusing on daily lives, school campuses and communities - inspiring people to re-think their behaviors and practices to sustain the earth. TTG offers campaigns, education, and easy tips for teens interested in living a healthy lifestyle.
2. Get Pretty- Want to be eco-friendly, but just can't let go of your favorite foundation? Visit Skin Deep to find out which which sunscreen will protect you the most, or what your perfume is really doing to you and your environment, along with healthy alternatives.
3. Get Prettier- Still not convinced about the perfume? Check out the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and get involved in protecting consumers and workers by requiring the health and beauty industry to phase out the use of harmful chemicals.
4. Get Involved- Start a 'Green' club. Go Green offers help and information on fundraisers for your school, sports team, or church. Your club won't just bring together kids with the same eco-friendly lifestyles, but it can impact your community and show your supporters that you're making a difference by choosing earth friendly fundraiser ideas.
5. Get inspired by your favorite celebrity. Learn about what young celebs are doing to green their lives and help out their causes with Seventeen magazine.
6. Get healthy- At this age, the last thing you're thinking about is eating well for your body. But introducing organic food to your diet is easier-and yummier- than you think and will sound pretty impressive to your friends.
