Planet Earth is the source of life for every living creature. Taking care of the planet and the environment is therefore so important if we want the world to maintain its beauty and ability to sustain animal and plant life. I have a few easy things you could do to do your part in conserving the environment. Here are 5 of them:
-
Recycle all recyclable materials: Reusing plastic and glass materials, as well as recycling used aluminum, plastic, glass, paper, and cardboard is an amazing way to keep unnecessary garbage out of landfills. These materials can be recycled into new materials as long as people place things in the correct recycling bins! Wanna do even more? try putting food scraps in the compost bin.
-
Stop littering: Littering your garbage in the street contributes greatly to environmental distress. Make sure that you always throw out your trash and even try to pick up any trash on the floor in places like parks and beaches.
-
Eat using glassware and metal utensils: Reducing your use of plastic and styrofoam when eating is an easy way to try and make a personal difference in helping the environment. Plastic and styrofoam generally end up in landfills or the ocean, where they don’t degrade properly. This hurts the earth in more ways than one.
- Do your part to conserve water: Conserving water is super helpful to the environment and super easy to accomplish. Simply reduce your water usage by taking shorter showers, fixing home leaks, shutting the sink off when you’re not using it, and reducing how often you use the washing machine and dishwasher.
- Use all natural skincare: Using skincare without any harsh chemicals in them is very helpful to the environment! Natural-ingredient skincare is better for the drainage systems in cities than regular chemical based skincare and creams, as chemical ingredient creams can mess up soil and pollute the Earth’s water.
