\u00a01) Get rid of plastic bottles, invest in a cool reusable bottle!<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Firstly, snag yourself a sweet, reusable water bottle (one that\u2019s BPA-free!) and fill it up. Saves all that garbage going to the landfill.<\/p>\n

The Reef Gift Shop has a variety of water bottles that are sea-themed very cool and useful for hydration.<\/p>\n

\u00a02) Repeat for hot drinks!<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, why not treat yourself to a reusable mug from your favourite coffee shop of choice? This reduces the use of disposable cups!<\/p>\n

3) Conserve water<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Following on, Water use and demand are at an all-time high. Possibly the easiest resolution on this list: use less water. Let\u2019s do our part by shutting off the water while you brush your teeth. Maybe opting for showers over baths or even limiting your laundry.<\/p>\n

4) Donate Your Stuff<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition, Donate anything you don\u2019t want or need anymore. Spend an hour or so going through your home and look for items you can donate. You\u2019d be surprised how much stuff you can give, that serves someone else.<\/p>\n

5)<\/strong> Explore the natural world more<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

With Scotland\u2019s landscapes and natural scenery are truly electrifying with tall mountains, glossy lochs, dense woodland, and miles of golden sands. Utilise the beauty that falls on our doorstep!<\/p>\n

TIP: You could take part in local litter picks which allows you to clean rubbish and also see the beautiful surroundings of your areas!<\/strong><\/p>\n

6) Even the menstruation monster can be Eco-Friendly.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Another thing we can do is ditch disposable sanitary towels and tampons and instead reach for a menstrual cup, cloth pads, and period underwear that can be washed and reused time and time again or do some research into Plant-based sustainable products. As an aquarium, we are based in Fife where Fife Council have collaborated with \u201cHey Girls\u201d for products which are sustainable, biodegradable or recyclable and these are the products available to visitors in the aquarium!<\/p>\n

7) Cut Down On Your Vehicles Emissions.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ideally, we\u2019d advise you to drive your vehicle less, opting instead to walk, bike, or take public transportation whenever possible. This resolution is not only better for the environment at large, it\u2019s also better for your overall health but we understand that this isn\u2019t possible sometimes! Keep your car in good working order. Do regular maintenance and keep tire pressure at proper levels. Don\u2019t let your car idle for more than a few minutes.\u00a0 This contributes to emissions and gives you zero miles per gallon fuel efficiency.<\/p>\n

8) Support, Volunteer and Donate<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Lastly, do some research into organisations that are trying to save the planet in many different ways! Deep Sea World work closely with BIAZA<\/a>, Shark\u2019s Trust<\/a>, RSPB<\/a> and many more to ensure that we are constantly working towards being as sustainable as possible to ensure the safety of the creatures around the world!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like more information, please feel free to ask any members of staff on your next visit and make sure to stop and read our information within the aquarium about what we\u2019re doing to be more sustainable!<\/strong><\/p>\n
