Do Your Part
As a resident of this planet, it is our duty to do our little bit every day to contribute towards a sustainable and clean environment.
1. Plant Trees:
This is the most accurate solution to almost half of the problem that our environment and Mother Earth faces today.
Trees are the natural air purifier that takes in carbon dioxide and gives oxygen that animals need for their survival.
There is no life possible without plants and it’s our duty to plant trees to do our part towards contributing a healthy environment.
2. Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle:
Reduce the use of single plastic. Reuse your clothes and dishes. Recycle any plastic and paper that is consumed.
These three Rs are important in minimising the trash and waste that we produce everyday.
3. Conserve
Conserve energy and resources whenever possible. There are simple steps to conserve energy like switch off the lights when you leave your room, walk more if possible, and take smaller showers.
Conclusion
No step is a small step when the cause is global. Every step matters and has its impact.
This earth is home to millions of living beings and it’s our duty to protect our planet.
The power lies in our hands and together we can make this earth a beautiful place to live, again.
