The environment is essential for life, our habitat and condition necessary to live and survive living beings, including flora, fauna and human beings. Taking care of the environment, preserving the balance of ecosystems and not squandering basic resources is a task of all that we can easily by contributing our grain of sand on a daily basis.
Not only is it about reducing the carbon footprint or making use responsible of basic resources, such as water or foodbut also of practicing an eco-friendly lifestyle in general. How to do it? It is very simple, there are ten aspects that we must take care to make a small-great difference, without the need to make radical changes.
An echo diet
Eat following beginning ecological basic It is easier than it may seem. While organic diet is highly recommended, it is not always easy for diet to be entirely. But there is no reason to worry. If the budget does not reach us so much, it partially does so also adds green points.
Our health and that of the planet will thank us that, for example, we consume bio legumes (buy them dry and in large formats the price) or those vegetables that are normally more loaded with pesticides, such as potatoes, onions, garlic, celery, strawberries, apples or peaches. In your case, entering local consumption groups can be cheaper.
We prevail local consumption and products Frescobecause they also have less carbon footprint by saving us the transport and energy of cooling and frozen products. If, in addition, we cultivate them in a small urban garden, garden or on the house balcony, then better than better or, why not, let’s bet on bio cosmetics, many formulations are easy to do at home. Every gesture is important, however small.
Responsible use of scarce resources
Do not waste food is important because it shows in the pocket and in our CO2 balance, in addition to being a gesture in favor of food security, and we can say the water, an equally scarce resource in many parts of the world. Each drop is a treasure that we have to take care of as such.
Awareness about it is already a great step. Logically, this awareness translates into a lower expense when using it at domestic level (in shower, washing machine, irrigation, etc.) and serving as an example for the little ones in the house. Let’s think that if the use of water was more responsible, sufficient water would be saved to supply many families that do not have access to it. In practice, it is so important to control that there are no dripping in taps, hoses, etc., how to prefer the shower to the bath or drip irrigation or, put by case harvest of rainwater, before conventional irrigation.
Save energy at home and office
Countries are usually deficit in energyand this is a great effort at the economic level. In fact, energy dependence is one of the principles of many economies, including Spanish. At domestic level, the problem is also economical, but also for unnecessary use, so avoiding waste must be our goal.
Turn off lights that are lit or install bulbs With low consumption, examples are helpful, but there are many other ways to reduce consumption and, with it, the electricity bill, including not abusing air conditioning or heating, controlling vampire consumption by unplugging the appliances that are not used or buying high efficiency models when the time comes to renew them. Let’s try to do the same in the workplace.
Take care of the environment
Contact with Nature It is necessary for the human being, both at the mood and for body health. In the same way that natural environments take care of us, we also have to take care of them. It is not about reforesting burned areas, although it would be great to do so.
It will be enough for us not to commit recklessness in places where, whether or not it is prohibited, a fire can be caused or, for example, that we respect flora and fauna, enjoying natural environments without altering the ecosystems. Likewise, we can help the planet practicing tourism sustainable.
Reduce, reuse and recycle
The principle of three erres can well be considered the first commandment of the ecology. Both in our role as buyers and consumers reduce, reuse and recycle is the key to eco-amygible behavior. Its application is infinite, and theirs is to keep in mind the rule of the three Erres and apply it daily when the occasion occurs.
When buying, fleeing consumerism It can mean at the same time reduce, reuse and recycle and, therefore, when going to throw the trash it is important to consider whether it is really a good idea to throw that object or waste. In addition, we have separate waste, as well as take advantage of those that could have a second use, such as coffee poses, vegetable skins, old toys or, without going any further, the food that is left over and ends in the garbage.
Sustainable transport
It is true, the bicycle It is par excellence half of transport further sustainable. It brings us and takes us by pedaling, and we even have the option of the electric bike for longer journeys. But there is something better than using the bike or, at least, equal or more sustainable. We logically refer to the car of San Fernando, the one that also brings us and takes us, a little while on foot and another walk …
