Tips to reduce your expenses

Reducing spending is important for saving money and helping income go further. But it’s not always as simple as making coffee at home instead of going to a coffee shop or using public transit to go to work instead of paying for parking.

Here are some tools for reducing expenses you may not know you had:

Look for ways to lower your bank account fees

You can take advantage of electronic alerts to avoid overdraft charges. Your bank must send you electronic alerts when the balance of your chequing or savings account falls below $100, or an amount you’ve set.

As of December 1, 2025, all Canadians can benefit from modernized no

cost and low-cost accounts costing no more than $4 per month with certain federally regulated banks. Certain groups even qualify for no-cost accounts, including youth, newcomers and seniors receiving the Guaranteed Income Supplement. Cutting bank fees each month can make a difference in the long run and help you save on things that matter to you.

Use a budget management tool

Creating a budget can help you keep track and manage spending. Before you set to work on a budget, you should figure out what your needs and wants are – they aren’t the same for everyone. Once that’s done, you’re ready to start your budget.

To create a good budget, you need an effective tool that’s easy to use, such as the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC)’s online budget planner. It includes tips, advice and alerts to help you improve your financial situation.

If your actual spending changes with time, readjust your numbers to make sure you are staying within your budget.

5 simple ways to make an environmental impact

Caring for the planet can sometimes feel overwhelming, but making a difference doesn’t always require big actions or major life changes. Small, everyday choices can add up – especially when we all take part. Here are five simple ways to make an environmental impact and support a healthier planet and ocean.

Host a shoreline cleanup in your community

Every year, an estimated 11 million tons of plastic enter the ocean. But you can still make a difference, even if you don’t live by the coast. Shoreline cleanups can happen anywhere water meets land: along lakes, rivers, streams and even wetlands.

Hosting a cleanup with friends, coworkers or classmates is a fun and rewarding way to protect local wildlife. Every piece of trash removed helps

keep your community beautiful and prevents that waste from ever reaching the ocean.

Say no to fast fashion

You can extend the life of your wardrobe by repairing or up-cycling old pieces and only replacing items when they’re truly worn out. Consider buying most of your clothes second-hand or checking thrift stores first whenever you need something new. Hosting a clothing swap or taking a mending class with friends can be fun ways to refresh your style sustainably.

The Ocean

Action Grant

Program, supported in part by Canada Service Corps, helps young Canadians lead local environmental projects focused on ocean health and sustainability.

Cut down on single-use plastics

Only nine per cent of single-use plastics are recycled, with most ending up in landfills or the ocean. Choosing plastic-free packaging, as well as buying in bulk, are two ways to start reducing plastic use. Another is by getting the “big four” reusable items: coffee mug, shopping bag, water bottle and straw. By switching to reusable items, people can help prevent countless disposable items from entering the environment.

Start a conservation project

It can be easier than you think to find a project that can inspire others and create lasting change. You could start a local cleanup club, organize an art show celebrating people’s connection to nature or create a commu-

nity garden that supports pollinators. There are even funding opportunities, like the Ocean Action Grant, to help you bring your ideas to life and make an even bigger impact.

Support environmental causes in your community

Change often starts small and local, and simply speaking can be a powerful way to help create it. You can lend your voice to the causes that matter most to you by taking steps like volunteering with a local environmental organization, attending a community meeting about conservation initiatives or writing to local leaders to support sustainable policies.

No matter where you live or how you get started, every action counts. Together, small steps can lead to big waves of change. You can find inspiration, resources and ways to take action for our ocean and planet at ocean.org/youth. ■ — News Canada

Small habits with big impacts on stress

The new year often inspires big goals. But instead of chasing dramatic change, try to focus on smaller habits that make a real difference to your well-being.

Carve out short, mindful breaks. You can do some stretches right where you are, or while taking a short walk around the room. Stepping outside can be a way to reset, and fresh air can help you feel calmer. Consider combining deep breathing with a mindfulness exercise: focus on the physical sensation of breathing and

let your body get heavier with each exhale. Acknowledge any thoughts that come up without judging them, and let them pass, or even “breathe them out.”

Start a journal. Journaling is a simple but powerful practice. It can help give a clearer sense of perspective as you write down worries, gratitude or even a daily reflection – putting everything down on paper can help crystallize what’s really important. Just the act of writing down a thought that’s been bringing stress or anxiety can help bring clarity and calm.

Consider natural support. Adaptogens are herbs and plants that help the body respond to physical and mental pressure. Canadian producers, such as St. Francis Herb Farm, offer herbal blends that support stress management and sleep, making it easier to maintain balance.

Lasting calm doesn’t come from overhauling your life. It comes from small, steady steps that can nurture your well-being every day. Learn more about supporting your well-being at stfrancisherbfarm.com/stress-relief. ■ — News Canada
