As April approaches and forces us to consider our planet, why not make a few sustainable changes to support Earth? Whether you’re up to date on environmental justice or climate change, living sustainably greatly serves our ecosystem. It’s more than just planting more trees or enjoying nature; it’s about preserving what we have before it’s too late.

Everyday items in your household and lifestyle can make the change affordably. You can swap your toilet paper, toothbrush, and sheets to help our environment. Investing in a reusable straw or cleaning rounds can do the trick if you want to go smaller.

While there are many eco-friendly items you can switch to, here are five simple purchases that Earth will appreciate. Scroll ahead to shop GU’s recommendations for sustainable living.
