April 22 saban is commemorated as Earth Day. In this moment, humans are again reminded of the environmental damage that lies before their eyes.
Earth Day is a moment to remind us that at least some good things are being done for the sake of the planet.
You don't have to do great things. It just starts from the simple things as follows.
1. Planting
The hobby of planting apparently not only lowers stress, but also contributes positively to the environment. Citing the Tree People page, planting activities, especially tree plants, can lower the temperature of the city.
Make use of the land in the house complex for shady plants or fruit trees. If there is no vacant land, take advantage of hydroponic methods to grow vegetables.
2. Paddle the bike
The smoke left over from the vehicle's fuel creates a carbon footprint. In other words, when you travel by motorcycle or other private vehicle, you already contribute air pollution.
However, there are always alternative vehicles that are minimal or even zero carbon footprint such as bicycles. In addition to cycling, consider walking if the distance is not too far. This step can nourish the environment as well as your body.
3. Use a shopping bag that can be used over and over again
Citing Teen Vogue, Americans use 100 million plastic bags a year. It's just America, not yet when it comes to the use of single-use plastic bags in other countries.
Seeing this fact, you should start switching to using reusable bags. Bags or bags can minimize the use of single-use plastics and usually more powerfully accommodate groceries.
4. Use refillable bottles
Now many places provide plastic bottle recycling facilities. However, if you can use a refillable bottle, why not?
Don't forget to take the refillable bottle with you wherever you go to minimize the desire to buy bottled water. At home you can also get drinking water from refillable gallons.
5. Buy vegetables from local farmers
You can meet the vegetable needs of local farmers. In addition to supporting their economic survival, you also play a role in saving the earth.
Vegetables that you usually buy in the supermarket are usually imported from plantations that are quite far away. This distribution chain journey increases fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
6. Turn off unused electronic devices
Citing the Earth Day page, turning off unused electronic devices and room lights is already a step in Earth's rescue.
Much of the electricity comes from fossil fuels. The more we use electrical energy, the more carbon emissions. The free use of electricity will only exacerbate carbon emissions and lead to global warming.
7. Use a cloth mask
The use of masks during the pandemic is mandatory. You can still implement the concept of eco-friendly living by using a cloth mask, especially a 3-layer cloth mask.
Nowadays fabric masks come in a variety of colors, motifs, and models. Adapt to your needs.
