Earth Day is just around the corner! What better way to celebrate than by taking small steps towards being more eco-friendly? We hope you’ll join us in showing the Earth some love with the help of our Taskers. From Minor Home Repairs to Furniture Assembly to Organization, there’s an army of Taskers standing by to take on our carbon footprints. Here we’ve rounded up a list of 10 of our favorite Taskrabbit-assisted Earth Day activities.
1. Plant A Tree. Earth Day isn’t simply symbolic. We can give back to the Earth by planting trees, which produce oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide, and help prevent soil erosion. It’s all a win-win! Even better, you can hire a green-thumbed Tasker to help you out!
2. Conserve Energy. Reduce energy demand (and even bills!) by hiring a Tasker for Smart Home Installation. Having a system that connects your devices to do specific tasks automatically is also time well saved. Upgrade your thermostats, light bulbs, and more to help reduce carbon emissions and save you money. That’s one smart cookie home!
3. Spruce Up Your Yard. Celebrate Earth Day by having a Tasker take care of your green spaces! Whether that’s Yard Work, collecting trash, or working on making your vision for a garden finally come true, taking care of your outdoor space is a great way to say thanks to your environment.
4. Be Proactive With Home Repairs. Did you know that just one leaky faucet dripping only 10 times per minute can waste up to 3 liters of water per day? That’s 347 gallons per year. An eco-friendly initiative you can take up this Earth Day is turning to Taskrabbit for Minor Home Repairs. Hire a Tasker to check all those faucets in your home and stop the drips for good.
5. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. If you’re looking to live in a way that’s less harmful to the environment, it’s time to hire a friendly and organized Tasker to help. Taskers can reduce over-consumption by donating food and switching out your disposable items for reusable ones such as grocery bags, containers, and bottles. Taskers can also upgrade your recycling system to your specifications to help limit waste.
6. Upcycle. How much time do you really have to do-it-yourself? Hire a crafty Tasker for whatever upcycling project you’ve been putting off. Easy alterations can be done to old clothing to make them new and trendy again. Old boxes can be repurposed to store holiday ornaments and decorations. The possibilities are endless with Taskrabbit in your corner.
7. Use Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products. Taskers can help with that! Cleaning with products that reduce exposure to chemicals and toxins that are harmful to us and our environment is a great way to celebrate Earth Day. Enjoy a guilt-free, shinier clean by being eco-friendly with Taskrabbit!
8. Choose Eco-Friendly Furniture. The best sustainable furniture is created from recycled materials like wood and textiles and natural ones like bamboo and rattan. Use Taskrabbit to transform your home with Furniture Assembly for decor that’s not only innovative and beautiful but also eco-friendly.
9. Organize Your Home. Use this Earth Day weekend to tackle that bedroom, garage, kitchen, or basement storage space. Taskers can help with Organization room by room by decluttering, repurposing items, or carting things off to donation facilities. Give your old stuff a new life and go green where you can!
10. Shop Local. Did you know that grocery chains use carbon-heavy production, refrigeration, and transportation processes to get you fresh food from thousands of miles away? Let’s eliminate that this Earth Day by booking a Tasker to run Errands and buy local! When you support farmers’ markets, local producers, and stores, you’re strengthening your community’s food economy and supply chains as well. Buying straight from the source never felt so good.
