Beth at Blink Charging Shares Eco-Friendly Habits for a Greener Future

Hey, everyone. It's Beth. So all week, we've been talking about different types of sustainable and environmental actions that we can do to, you know, lessen our impact, use fewer single use plastics, and just generally, be more I guess this is repetitive, but more environmental. So I'm just gonna show you what that looks like in my life. I try to use reusable containers whenever I can. This one I've been using for several years and still going strong. And this is how I keep from having to use, say, plastic bags, you know, those random takeout containers, or just generally, you know, I buy a pizza. Oh, no. I need a smaller container for my fridge. That's when I use reusable, container. And I actually used this one this week, so that's why it's out. One of the ideas is that instead of running the tap to get cold water, using a pitcher and putting it in the fridge. I actually don't like cold water. It hurts my teeth. So I keep my pitcher on the counter, but I did just fill my water bottle. And this way, I can drink water with me when I go out without having to buy, again, single use plastic. One of the great things is one of actually a blank customer, Monster Canic Market. They're pretty local to me in the DC area, and they take compost. So I like to put all my put my food scraps that I'm not going to eat in a and they have to be, you know, plants. But put my food scraps in a little bag, drop it off at mom's. So that's one of the things that I like to do. They do also take other types of recycling. So depending on where you are in the country, you may be able to find, similar kinds of organic or, you know, those kinds of, organic and health stores that do take compost. So look up in your area. We are going to talk about thrifting in a minute. That is a great way to either get rid of clothes that you clothes and other items you're done done using, or maybe you got it and you don't want it. Or even, you know, you have some clothes that don't fit anymore. This is a great way to make sure that, the clothes that do exist, that they reuse. All of this to say, I'm excited to show you what we're doing. We're going to go and take down some of my recycling and then we're going to head over to the hardware store. We're going ahead to the thrift store. Let's see if we can get me some balcony plants. That is what I'm doing for my forest Friday is a balcony. So, yeah, I am so happy to have you with me. Let's see what we can find. Lest you think I forgot to talk about electric cars, I do have tabs open right now. I'm looking up my my two dream cars. There's just a lot of different things that you can do to lessen your negative impact and, you know, support the environment even if you don't have as much power as a business. And so, you know, this World Environment Day, I wanna hear what you're doing. Tell us in the comments. Also, tell me what I should name my plants. We wanna encourage for my plants, let me know.
