INTRODUCTI
ON
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.

Here are some easy ways to be 
eco-friendly at home:

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, don’t 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 don’t 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.

N
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.
