Earth Day ideas

 

With Earth Day in April, Buehler’s is focused on ways to protect the planet all month long. Consider these small steps to help care for the earth:

  1. Choose plant-based foods more often. Use Buehler’s Healthy Living Vegan tags to guide you to plant-based options throughout the store.
  2. Shop with recyclable grocery bags.
  3. Purchase fresh, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables to minimize food waste.
  4. Start a compost bin in your yard.
  5. Don’t discard vegetable trimmings – they make a great stock for use in soups and other recipes.
