#1 Support Regenerative Practices 

Regenerative agriculture is an example of farming in ancestral, nature-based ways. Regag, for short, uses farming practices that work with nature, not against it. It is a conservation and rehabilitation approach to farming systems. 

When you support Regag, you also support the reversal of climate change by taking carbon out of the atmosphere and putting it back in the soil where it belongs.

#2 Reduce Waste: Reverse Climate Change

Composting is an excellent option for those looking to minimize their impact and regenerate the Earth. It is even accessible for those who live in apartments with limited space.

Not only does composting divert food waste from landfills, but you can also use it to supplement your plants! Composting your food scraps or sending them off to a place that can do so for you, will have an immeasurable impact on reversing climate change.

#3 Grow Your Own Food!

There are many reasons why you should grow your own food. Whether you do so to reduce your carbon footprint, decrease food waste, or be in control of the nutrients you receive from your food, the net benefit supports both you and the planet.

Starting a home garden will not only save you money, but t will offset your impact on climate change in the long run. There are also many vertical options for growing your own food with limited space. If growing food is not a possibility, support your local community garden or farmer’s market!

#4 How To Stop Climate Change At Home: Buy Second-Hand

Fast fashion is one of the leading contributors to climate change. To give you an idea, it takes 20,000 liters of water to produce one t-shirt and a pair of jeans. 

Buying second-hand is a great way to reduce waste and give clothing another life. Not to mention, you can find some unique and one-of-a-kind pieces that will last you a lifetime!
