EARTH DAY IS HERE

And we need to talk about Climate Change.

Climate change can feel overwhelming, but there are many things everyday people can do to make a real difference. Perhaps by now we all know the basics. On a global scale - reducing carbon emissions and pollution has been PROVEN to produce cleaner air and healthier humans. In our everyday life we are inundated with ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. (an Ethos that Ever Bamboo believes in as well) And we now understand how fast fashion and the resulting landfills weigh the planet down with waste and man made debris. But how can we make the small daily changes and improvements that really add up to significant change? We thought it was worth taking a look at, and sharing. Here are a few things that we believe can help us all.

How and What You Eat One of the most powerful changes starts with your plate.

Food production is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, especially meat and dairy. Shifting to a more plant-rich diet, even just a few days a week, can significantly reduce your carbon footprint. Buying local, seasonal foods and minimizing food waste by meal planning and composting are also important steps that benefit both the environment and your wallet.

How You Get There.

Another key area is transportation. Cars and trucks are a leading source of emissions, so reducing how often you drive has a big impact. Walking, biking, carpooling, or using public transit are great options when possible. Even small changes—like combining errands into one trip or working from home a couple days a week—can add up. If driving is unavoidable, driving efficiently and maintaining your vehicle properly can still make a difference. And if you're in the market for a new car, consider making the switch to a hybrid or electric vehicle.

At Home

Your home is also a powerful place to reduce emissions. Simple steps like switching to LED light bulbs, unplugging devices, or installing a programmable thermostat can lower energy use. Weatherproofing your home with insulation and sealing drafts can help with heating and cooling efficiency. Many electricity providers now offer green energy plans, so if you can, opt into those or look into solar panels if you own your home. These small upgrades not only help the planet—they also cut down on utility bills over time.

Conscious Consumerism.

What we buy matters too. Being a conscious consumer means buying less and choosing better. Look for durable, sustainable products and support companies with strong environmental practices. Buying secondhand items—whether clothes, furniture, or electronics—helps reduce demand for new production and lowers waste. Recycling properly is also essential; knowing your local rules can prevent contamination and ensure your efforts count. Even small shifts in your shopping habits can ripple out to big environmental gains.

Speak Up for the World You Want.

Finally, one of the most impactful things you can do is use your voice. Vote for leaders and policies that prioritize climate action, not just in national elections but local ones too. Reach out to your representatives, join climate advocacy groups, or support organizations doing the work. And most importantly, talk about it. Having open conversations about climate change with family and friends helps shift public awareness and builds momentum for larger change. The most important thing to remember is that collective action starts with individual choices—and those choices matter more than ever.

We hope that This list of actionable items helps to make your carbon footprint a little lighter, and that you feel a sense of pride when taking action to protect this beautiful planet that provides us all with so much. And as always, Ever Bamboo asks you to ‘Rethink the Stink’ and make healthier choices for you and your family by avoiding toxic chemicals and scents and choosing to pop a pouch of bamboo charcoal - nature’s own odour fighter and moisture absorber - wherever the ‘stink’ is.
