Do it yourself!

Matt Berger Nov 30, 2010

Grow your own food or at least some of it. Make your own yogurt, bake your own bread, make/take your own lunch to work, bring your own coffee/tea cup to work and reuse it. Use tupperware instead of disposable plastic sandwich baggies. Compost. Wash dishes by hand. Take 3-minute showers. Collect rainwater in barrels and use it to water your garden.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you. 

You rely on Marketplace to break down the world’s events and tell you how it affects you in a fact-based, approachable way. We rely on your financial support to keep making that possible. 

Your donation today powers the independent journalism that you rely on. For just $5/month, you can help sustain Marketplace so we can keep reporting on the things that matter to you.
