We like lists. We’ve liked lists since long before Buzzfeed existed. You may have noticed that many of our articles are in list format, and much like we enjoy revisiting our favorite articles of the year at the end of each year, we also enjoy revisiting our favorite lists of the year. You can find our favorite lists from 2015 here and from 2014 here. So what did we find utterly list-worthy in 2016? Here’s a … list!
25 Ways to Save the Ocean (Or At Least Stem the Tide)
We admit that the pun in the title of this list is, well, a bit awful! But we promise you that the list itself is not. We brainstormed for months to create what we believe is one of the most comprehensive (and easy to read) lists of everyday, non-challenging choices that you can make to help preserve the world’s oceans. It’s never too late to begin to repair the damage to our planet. What’s on the list? See the list here >>

We have to say, this list has us wishing and wanting to purchase some expensive plane tickets. See the list >>

We didn’t just create one summer reading list for you! We created three so that you’re sure to find one that appeals to you no matter what your focus in the arena of postconsumerism is.
