April 22 is an important date that reminds people and authorities to protect the environment and improve damaged ecosystems for a better life. Although it is known as International Earth Day, every day after and before it should be such.
Earth Day simply serves to remind us how connected we are to it, how much we need it, and how important the role of humans is. Here's how we can help the Earth.
Reduce waste where possible: How to do this? By ditching fast fashion and buying second-hand clothing.
Reduce carbon emissions: When traveling, use trains as much as possible and minimize air travel.
Be careful with food: Reducing animal-based foods is one way to help the environment. If you can, teach yourself to enjoy and enrich your diet with plant-based products. Always ask where the food you are buying comes from. Pay attention to quality and value local purchases as well as seasonal products. Give up canned foods.
No plastic!
Start eliminating plastic by rejecting the bags offered in supermarkets and other stores. The best thing you can do is buy or make cloth bags at home and always carry them with you whenever you go shopping.
Ask bars not to bring you straws for soft drinks. If you take coffee with you somewhere, ask them to pour it into a cardboard cup (not plastic packaging). Buy products in cardboard. Change starts with yourself and every choice matters, even when choosing a shower sponge made from natural materials.
