The Earth is our home, and it is our responsibility to take care of it!
Unfortunately, the planet is facing many environmental challenges such as climate change, deforestation, pollution, and loss of biodiversity. However, there are small actions we can take to make a difference. This week, let’s come together and be more conscious of how we treat the Earth.
One way to raise awareness about environmental issues is through Earth Hour, an annual event where people turn off their lights for one hour as a symbol of their commitment to the planet. This year, Earth Hour will take place on March 25th at 8:30 pm local time.
“Deforestation is a major problem. We lose 18.7 million acres of forests every year, which is equivalent to 27 soccer fields per minute”.
Other than turning our lights off for an hour, here are some other ways we can help the environment….
1. Get yourself a re-usable water bottle instead of buying a new plastic bottle each time
2. Take a tote and reusable bags to the shops
3. Consider a plant-based diet for one-two days a week
4. Take the time to sort your rubbish and recycle what you can
5. Walk/bike instead of driving
6. Eat your left-overs and meal plan to avoid food wastage
7. Cut your shower time in half
8. Never litter…. Major ick if you do
9. Don’t impulse buy clothes. Take a second to think about if you really want it
10. Use energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs.
If we all wanna survive then we gotta make some changes (as a collective)!
Let’s start today!
Do you have any other ways you like to do your bit for the environment? Let us know in the comments!
