As you may or may not be aware, as Tree Huggers, we take the three R’s (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) very seriously. We want to let you know to make sure you don’t forget about the environment during these hard times. Try not to leave the water running as you are brushing your teeth. Turn it off until it’s actually needed. Is that charger plugged up but not connected to a device? Just take it out until you need to use it. Need a break from home? No need to drive around, just take a nice walk around your neighborhood following all safety precautions. Recycling is always important and you can use this time to prioritize it. That extra paper that is printed one sided sitting on that table, could be used as scrap paper or space for small notes.
Use this time during quarantine to appreciate what you have. Most importantly, make sure you’re checking on your loved ones and stay healthy and safe. We hope to be able to start engaging with the environment once this is all over.

It is great that you guys are spreading awareness even during the quarantine. I did not realize all the different ways we could help out, but regardless I am sure this whole situation is actually helping the environment even if people don’t contribute.
