The recycling in my house was imposed by my kids.
The answers to how to live sustainably on our planet are all around us.
Thanks to David Attenborough and 'Blue Planet 2,' we've become aware of the damage to our oceans from plastic pollution. We now know to use textile shopping bags instead of plastic, reuse coffee-cups and refuse polystyrene ones, and avoid plastic straws when ordering a drink at the bar.
You don't just one day say, 'That's it, I'm doing this, I'm going to throw all my shoes out and I'm not eating honey and I won't drive my car because there are animal bones in the tires...' because you'd drive yourself around the bend.
I don't throw my clothes out after one wear. Shocking, I know.
The plastic bottle we're throwing away every day still stays there. And if we show that to people, then we can also promote some behavioral change.
With approximately 75 per cent of our rubbish generated by packaging, a few simple steps - buying loose fruit and veg, choosing products with recyclable packaging, and avoiding individually wrapped portions - can have a big impact.
It's like recycling: selling old clothes to help make new ones.
If we are ever to halt climate change and conserve land, water and other resources, not to mention reduce animal suffering, we must celebrate Earth Day every day - at every meal.
The greenest home is the one you don't build. If you really want to save the Earth, move in with another family and share a house that's already built. Better yet, live in the forest and eat whatever the squirrels don't want.
It's hard to get everybody to recycle paper and plastic, let alone.
We recycle everything in my house. I'm not into any particular organizations, but I'm doing my part and that makes me feel okay.
It's time to face facts: Most people stop being environmentalists when they sit down to eat.
I'm a normal consumer but try to do the best I can. I try to buy locally, and I mostly avoid supermarkets.
It is hard to see taxing plastic bags as one of the great issues of our time that merits the foremost place in our finest statesmen's minds. It is an absurd little issue, a picayune proportion of household waste, and a pointless inconvenience in people's lives.
I could spend my life focusing on getting rid of straws in our society.
I used to love those little cute bottles of amenities in the hotel room. And while the soap, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion may smell great, they waste an incredible amount of plastic and space in your luggage.
One of my big pet peeves is single-use plastic bags. I think it's one of the stupidest ideas in the world.
