Lately I’ve been researching a lot more on going green and how to treat the earth a little more kinder and this is the inspiration behind this post. I hope you enjoy and if I got anything incorrect, let me know! I never want to give out false information. Otherwise, Hope this helps!

🍃 : Why should people be eco friendly? Well eco friendly products (ex/ Clothes made from recycled fabrics, reusable coffee cups, stainless steel water bottles, etc) promote green living that help conserve energy and also prevent air, water and noise pollution. They prove to be boon for the environment and also prevent human health from deterioration. Here are some quick facts about the environment.

🍃 25% of the bottled water you buy is really municipal tap water.

🍃 In the last 200 years, we added 2.3 billion tons of Carbon Dioxide into our atmosphere. Half of this was added in the last 35 to 50 years.

Now onto the fun part! How to become more eco friendly.

🍃 : The most obvious one is to not litter. Don’t throw trash on the highway, beach, grass etc. In 1975, the National Academy of Sciences estimated that 14 billion pounds of garbage was being dumped into the ocean every year. That's more than 1.5 million pounds per hour and most likely, harming tons of animals all the time!

Next is to do your research on it. To really help out the earth, You must learn first on how to help it out. What products to stop and start using and as well as seeing trash on the ground, pick it up and throwing it away. I did this a lot last summer and I genuinely felt so good about it, It’s very self rewarding as well as helping out the earth little by little.

Passion is another thing you could use because it’ll just be tougher on you if you don’t feel motivated to help the earth. Make yourself want to help out and know that what you’ll be doing could possibly be a great change in the world, even if small. 💞

🍃 : Conserve water and electricity! Few simple ways like turning off lights when not in use, fixing leakages, proper insulation, using maximum daylight, installing energy efficient windows, purchasing energy efficient gadgets can reduce your daily energy consumption.

Plant more! This is a favorite one of mine because not only is a great for the environment but it’s really fun to do! I enjoy doing this during summertime and it’s a great way to pass time as well. Even if you aren’t exactly a green thumb, It could be an interesting hobby to get into, you never know! 🌲

Protect local water sources! Hazardous materials such as oil, paint and ammonia as well as others should never be disposed onto the ground as for they’ll seep into the groundwater. You can join local water conservation groups to help with this.

That’s all I have for today. I hope y’all have an absolutely wonderful day and remember to stay strong and always keep fighting lovely! ❤️ Help yourself and the planet!
