It’s National Wildlife Day—and that means we get to celebrate the beauty of our earth!
One of the values of Treasure Property Group is not only being a part of the community but serving it as well. In the same way you organize and clean your home, taking care of our planet and the beautiful wildlife it supports is just as important. Florida is known for its gorgeous beaches, high biodiversity, and amazing greenery.
Here are 5 tips to include in your daily life to take care of the paradise state you live in!
Pick Up Trash
Seems obvious, right? Well, according to Global Citizen, the average American can produce 1,704 pounds of garbage per year. Waste generation has increased over the years, and picking up trash from the streets alongside recycling is a crucial step to loving mother nature. It not only protects the environment but actually saves wildlife. Plastic bags, straws, and bottles are prone to seeming like a tasty snack to both land and sea animals, hurting or even killing them. So, next time you finish your coffee or juice, throw it out in the recycling bin!
Learn about and plant native species.
Did you know you can create your own wildlife community right where you are? Your backyard can become a habitat for native plants, bushes, trees and more! You’re not only planting a beautiful garden, you’re planting fresh oxygen and a home. You can even spice it up by adding birdbaths and feeders!
Volunteering
Donating your time to volunteer at zoos, animal preservation centers, wildlife conservation places, beach cleanups, or even wildlife rescue organizations is a fantastic way to give back to the community and make a difference!
Consume responsibly
Being informed about the products you buy can be a small step toward making a big difference! Look for materials that are durable, energy efficient, or created from sustainable sources. Understand what food labels mean, and always be on the lookout for products that harm the environment… because they can often harm you as well!
Create environmentally sustainable habits
Preserving wildlife isn’t as hard as you might think. Instead, it should become a way of living! When you truly care about the earth, you begin to do the little things that will have an impact. For example, saving water and light, using reusable water bottles, carpooling with friends, or even using your voice to advocate! Donate to organizations that value the environment just as much as you do, and make National Wildlife Day more than just one day; make it a way of life!
At Treasure, we care about Florida and the home it is for the public. We are a big family serving families, working to make a change and a dream come true. Happy National Wildlife Day!
