INTRODUCTION

• Lately, climate change and global warming have
  become huge things. We have already started to
  experience its consequences in more brutal ways
  than we can even think. Fortunately, there are so
  many things we can do to save our environment as
  it is our responsibility to protect our beautiful
  planet for future generations. Every day we can
  make choices in our lives that can create a
  positive impact on our environment. Being
  environment-conscious is not just about banning
  plastic (well, it does affect a lot). It is all
  about every little choice we make in our
  day-to-day lives, whether creating less trash,
  conserving electricity and water, etc., for a
  better environment. Also, as an adult, when we
  make these little habits a part of our lifestyle,
  it helps our kids learn and understand them.

1. RECYCLING
Reuse or recycle, whatever you want to call it,
but this is one of the main mantras of waste
management. Everything you purchase from the
market impacts the environment, right from its
manufacturing to its packaging, which eventually
ends up in the trash can. So, whenever you go
shopping, look for products with minimal
packaging. If you are going to the cafés, ask for
a recyclable can if you take out delivery or take
your coffee mug for a refill. Not only will it
help in reducing tons of waste, but it also keeps
you safe in the current covid situation. Also,
throw paper, soft drinking cans, and plastic into
the recycling bin instead of throwing them
straightaway in one dustbin.

• 2. DITCH PLASTIC

Whether we buy groceries or bottled water,
plastic is everywhere. One of the best ways to
cut down on plastic is to use a canvas bag
whenever you go shopping for groceries and
vegetables, as it is one of the best alternatives
to plastic. Avoid disposable cups, straws, and
facial wipes whenever possible for you.

3. STOP THROWING YOUR GARBAGE AT THE ROAD
So many times, people dump their garbage on the
road while driving instead of throwing it in a
trash can. This habit of littering first seems
negligent as people think that it is alright, and
we are not going to do it again. However, that
little dump later converts into a huge pile of
garbage, which becomes an unpleasant sight for
the city and pollutes the air, which is another
major concern. Hence, it is essential to use a
dustbin and stop other people from littering and
encourage them to use a dustbin.

• 4. TURN OFF THE SWITCH

We might have lost count when we leave something
plugged in and forget to turn off the light or TV
and most of the time our mobile charger, even
though we are not using it. This is literally
like throwing your money and affecting the
environment as conserving energy is crucial in
reducing your carbon footprint. So, switch it off
or unplug it whenever you are not using any
electronic device (TV, lights, Mobile). Trust us.
You will see a considerable improvement in your
electricity bills. And it is also one of the most
cost-effective ways to be eco-friendly at home.

5. CHOOSE LOCAL AND FRESH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
Eat locally and seasonally as much as you can
since it is good for your health and environment.
If you are eating apples imported from another
country, it is not sustainable for the
environment due to all the pesticides and other
chemicals to keep them fresh. Also, dont forget
the amount of fuel used in transportation. The
same goes for eating seasonal food as these are
not grown in an artificial environment(greenhouses
). So, eat healthier and contribute to more
sustainable living.

• 6. BE WATER-WISE

Saving water is beneficial for the sustainable
utilization of our planet's resources and our
wallets. You can easily save water at home by
closing your running tap while brushing your
teeth or washing your face. Fix any leakage or
recycle the water. You can also collect rainwater
in a barrel to water your plant later. Did you
know, an average water purifier wastes
approximately 3 liters of water for every one
liter of purified water. RO wastewater can be
utilized in various household tasks, so next time
make sure you don't waste the rejected RO water.

7. STOP WASTING FOOD
We have been there sometimes we waste food
unintentionally. But sometimes, it is
intentional. According to a study, approximately
690 million people are hungry, and on top of it
comes the wastage of food. These waste foods
contribute to eight percent of total greenhouse
emissions. So, stop throwing out food when you
have leftovers, instead save it for the next
day's lunch or if you dont want to eat it, then
turn it into compost.

• 8. TRAVEL WISELY

If your destination is close enough, ditch your
car and walk or ride a bicycle as it is best for
your health and great for the environment. 
Instead of using your car or bike to commute to
your office, daily, use public transport
occasionally and you can also opt for carpooling.
It reduces greenhouse emissions but also saves
you some extra bucks.

CONCLUSION
Apply these simple yet effective habits to be
eco-friendly at home and also educate others
about the importance of environmentally friendly
living. The more you share awareness about our
environment, the more we will be able to conserve
it.
