This summer, I’ve been thinking more about what “green living” really looks like in everyday life—not just in theory, but in the small, habitual choices we make day to day. A recent article in the New York Post really resonated with me. It shared how simple actions like using a reusable water bottle, cutting down on single-use plastics, and even turning off the tap while brushing your teeth are becoming second nature for many of us.

In a poll of 2,000 American adults, three-quarters (75%) said they want to reduce the negative effects of their lifestyle and purchases on Mother Earth. Seasonality may play a role—64% admitted it’s easier to be eco-friendly during the summertime. And I get it—there’s something about fresh produce, longer days, and being outdoors that makes sustainable habits feel more accessible.

One tip that stood out to me was choosing fruits and vegetables with less packaging. I’ve been reaching for things like watermelon, corn, and leafy greens instead of pre-packaged options. It’s a small switch, but it adds up—and makes me feel more connected to what I eat and how I shop.

One small action at a time—we’ve got this.
