Protecting the environment often feels like an overwhelming task, but the truth is, small actions can add up to significant change. Scroll down to discover five practical tips to help you make a positive environmental impact—right from the comfort of your home.
1. Reduce Single-Use Plastic
One of the easiest ways to help the environment is by cutting back on single-use plastics. Swap plastic bags for reusable ones, carry a refillable water bottle, and choose products with minimal packaging. These small changes help keep plastic waste out of our oceans.
How We’re Helping: Through our partnership with Plastic Bank, IPG directly supports efforts to reduce ocean-bound plastic. For every policy purchased, we fund initiatives that remove 480 kg of plastic annually—equivalent to 12,000 bottles! Together, we’re building a circular economy while empowering communities.
2. Save Energy, Save the Planet
Turn off lights, unplug devices, and switch to energy-efficient appliances. Not only will you lower your energy bills, but you’ll also reduce your carbon footprint.
Pro Tip: Consider installing smart home devices to monitor and optimize your energy use—it’s good for the planet and your wallet.
3. Embrace Sustainable Eating
Your diet plays a big role in your environmental impact. Try incorporating more plant-based meals, reducing food waste, and supporting local, organic farmers. Composting is another excellent way to keep food scraps out of landfills while enriching your garden soil.
4. Choose Eco-Friendly Home Products
From cleaning supplies to furniture, opt for products made with sustainable materials. Look for certifications like Fair Trade, organic, or recyclable packaging. These choices signal to companies that consumers value the planet.
5. Support Organizations Making a Difference
One of the most impactful ways to create change is by supporting businesses and organizations committed to sustainability. Whether by donating, volunteering, or simply choosing to buy from eco-conscious companies, your actions help drive global change.
How We’re Helping: As proud members of 1% for the Planet, IPG donates 1% of our annual revenue to environmental nonprofits tackling critical challenges. We double this commitment for clients who adopt sustainable practices, amplifying our shared impact. By choosing IPG, you’re part of a global movement to protect the planet for future generations.
