HOW TO START LIVING A SUSTAINABLE LIFE IN 2021
The past few months have shown us the mirror that we need to take seriously the environmental changes and warnings given by the plant to us. Ignoring them can be hazardous for us and can lead to the destruction of the universe. Thus, staying sustainable should not be only a few people’s efforts, but we all need to step forward and take the initiative. Isn’t it?
To handle climate change, clean the landscapes and waterways and avoid the next pandemic, we all need to work together and measure our collective impact on the planet so that we can reduce the ones that are harming the environment.
It’s time to take the first step and start living a sustainable life:
Don’t buy a plastic water bottle; carry your own reusable bottle.
When we travel or go shopping, we hardly remember keeping our own water bottle with us and buying it in the mall. But that is what makes the environmental pollutant. Avoid buying plastic bottles and carry your own every time to stay healthy and save the planet from tons of plastic.
Repurpose old t-shirt
Now this point must have looked very familiar to you. Yes! Because our moms normally do the same thing, we stopped her and gave her paper products to clean the kitchen slabs and other areas. This is really bad for the environment, avoid disposable paper use and take the initiative to help your mother create a cleaning cloth from your old t-shirt for cleaning home. Trust me, you will be saving the earth a lot.
Try to use reusable straws.
Trust me on this, when I first saw my friends using reusable straws, the first thing that came into my mind was how stylish they are. But now I know that reusable straws were not a part of fashion, but they were trying to help the environment by avoiding plastic straws. I am so impressed by this initiative that now I have a bundle of reusable straws and copper bottles to avoid plastic completely.
Store the run-off water
Yes! My friends, you read it right. Somehow unintentionally, we waste plenty of water like while washing the utensils or the water that runs off from the air conditioner, right? So how to avoid that, look? You can’t avoid washing dishes or control the water, so what’s the solution. The only way out is to store the run-off water and reuse it. Obviously not washing the dishes, but you can water your plants and sprinkle them in the garden. That will save the extra use of water that you were about to use for the same purpose.
Wrapping Up
We live on this planet and embrace all the beautiful things that it offers, from mountains, birds, rain, lush green forest, and many more. So it becomes our responsibility to safeguard it, and that can only be done if we take the first step and start living a sustainable life. Happy World Environment Day!
