Living Green in the 253

 

Living Green in the 253: Easy Sustainable Living Tips for Pierce County Residents

Hello to our Pierce County neighbors! No doubt we all appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds us. Let's do our part to protect it by embracing sustainable living. It doesn't have to be complicated – small changes can make a big difference. Here are some eco-friendly practices and waste-reducing tips perfect for life here in the 253:

Reducing Waste:

  1. Embrace Reusables: Ditch single-use items! Carry reusable shopping bags (remember those plastic bag bans!), water bottles, coffee cups, and even food containers. Keep a set in your car for impromptu trips to the Tacoma Farmers Market or your favorite local coffee shop.

  2. Say Yes to Recycling Right: Pierce County has a great recycling program. Familiarize yourself with what can and cannot be recycled in your curbside bins (paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and jugs, aluminum, and cans). Rinse containers and avoid plastic bags in your recycling! Check your local waste management website for specific guidelines in your area.

  3. Compost Your Food Scraps and Yard Waste: Instead of sending organic materials to the landfill, start a backyard compost bin or utilize your city's yard waste collection program. This enriches your garden soil and reduces methane emissions.

  4. Buy in Bulk (When Possible): Reduce packaging waste by purchasing pantry staples like grains, nuts, and dried fruit from bulk bins at local co-ops or stores. Bring your own containers!

  5. Repair, Repurpose, Reuse: Before tossing something, consider if it can be repaired, repurposed for a different use, or donated to a local charity or thrift store. Think twice before buying new!

Eco-Friendly Practices:

  1. Conserve Water: Be mindful of your water usage. Take shorter showers, fix leaky faucets, and consider installing water-efficient fixtures in your home and garden. Western Washington might be known for rain, but conserving our resources is still vital.

  2. Save Energy at Home: Unplug electronics when not in use (they can still draw power!), switch to LED light bulbs, and adjust your thermostat a few degrees to reduce heating and cooling needs. Consider weatherizing your home to improve energy efficiency.

  3. Support Local and Sustainable: When shopping for food, choose locally sourced and in-season produce from Pierce County farmers' markets or local farms. This reduces transportation emissions and supports our community. Look for products with eco-friendly certifications.

  4. Opt for Sustainable Transportation: Walk, bike, carpool, or utilize public transportation (like Pierce Transit) whenever possible to reduce your carbon footprint. Consider electric vehicles or hybrids when it's time for a new car.

  5. Choose Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products: Many conventional cleaning products contain harsh chemicals. Opt for natural and biodegradable alternatives.

Living sustainably in Pierce County is about making conscious choices that benefit our environment and our community. Even implementing a few of these tips can make a positive impact. 

Let's work together to keep our corner of Washington beautiful for generations to come!
