It's an interesting question this week for the @Indiaunited Contest #24 - "Things we can do to save Our Environment"
From nature we are born and to nature we go back at the end again, so it's the most important thing we need to preserve. A lot of awareness is being created these days and people do realize that we need to conserve our environment before it's too late. But still there are so many things which we do without being mindful, and this I am talking about myself as well, not everything but I am also unmindful at times about usage of certain things.
While planting trees is the most important thing to do to save our environment and at the same time it is also important to conserve what we already have around us. For this we need to eradicate or minimize a lot of things we use in our day to day life, or find alternate solutions of recycling, which is also getting popular.
Recycling is the best way to conserve what we have and also take care of our needs. Small things like tissue paper, plastic materials, clothes metals, glass and including wood. Almost everything can be recycled today to create new and there is abundance of used things which people want to discard.
Even the waste from our kitchen can be turned into manure which can be used for plants, rather then throwing it and accumulating the garbage and polluting the environment, why not compost it and make manure of it to bring a positive impact to the nature. We can use things in our day to day life which we can keep reusing and not a one time use and throw away, like the kitchen napkins, they can be of cloth rather then tissue paper, even if they are recycled then also using cloth is a better option, which can be washed and used for a long time.
Mindfulness in usage of water and electricity. Small things we need to be careful about, normally we leave the tap water running while brushing our teeth, or washing utensils, even excess use of water in bathing. These are things where we can be careful about. For electricity switch off all appliances when not in use. It's not always about the electricity bill but it is about conserving our natural resources.
Other mindfulness we can create is, increase the life span of every product we use in our home and minimalize. I wish that every product we use in our life is recycled and reused again and again, which will help a lot in saving our environment. Our life is precious and so is our environment, to live a good life we need a healthy environment and that only we can do because we are the only ones living on this planet who can take care of it and no one from outer space is going to come and save us. We also need to leave a healthy environment for our future generations to come. Small or big every single effort matters.
