- such a good investment u buy a $10 cup && save 10₵ everytime
- if u drink 4 coffees a week that’s $20 saved a year
- take the public transport / bike / walk
- esp if u have time after school and when ur not in a rush
- extremely therapeutic and is a great stress relief

- draw ur curtains
- apparently 10% of energy can be saved on heating when u let sunlight in
- saving money too how cool
- turn ur thermostat down by 1°C

- or just turn it down by 5 degrees and hibernate in ur hoodie + a thick ass blanket bc it’s rly comfy and u should try it
- shop w reusable shopping bags
- or just bring a huge bag u can dump stuff into
- some places deduct a few cents if u don’t use plastic bags isn’t that gr10

- u can line ur bins w them
- if u need a change of clothes throw them in a plastic bag before u throw it in ur bag
