Tackle your summer reading list in the sun
Never fear; you can tackle that bad boy while enjoying lovely and inspiring destinations, and be eco-friendly all at the same time!
Of course, if you're heading out in the sun, be sure to apply a green sunscreen, as many sunscreens are not only bad for you, but also for the planet. Should you end up burnt, we have several green solutions to soothe your skin.
Here are some environmentally-friendly and mood-boosting locales for you to curl up with your assigned reading. Turn off the lights, fans and air conditioning and head on out:
- Make use of your porch, deck or balcony.
- Head to a local park with a blanket and some fruit from your local Farmer's Market.
- Hitch a ride with some friends to a local beach. Don't forget an umbrella and sun hat! If you intend to take swim breaks, check out our list of eco-friendly swimwear.
- Take a walk to your favorite fair trade cafe or a locally-owned restaurant and sit in the outdoors section with an iced coffee. They'll use the electricity whether you are there or not, and you're helping to support a socially responsible business.
- If you live near any hiking or bike trails, pack a snack and make a day out of it. When you stop to rest or find a good spot, pull out your book.
