Making small changes in your daily routine can have a big impact on the environment. Here are some tips to help you live an environmentally friendly life!
1) Reuse, Reduce, Recycle
One of the easiest ways to be more environmentally friendly is to reduce the amount of waste you generate. Before you throw something away, ask yourself if it can be reused or recycled. Items that can be reused include shopping bags, containers, and bottles. You can also reduce the amount of paper you use by opting for digital versions when possible. When it comes to recycling, separate your paper, plastic, and glass so that they can be properly processed.
2) Conserve water and energy
Water and energy are two precious resources that we often take for granted. There are a number of ways to conserve both water and energy in your home. For example, you can install low-flow showerheads and toilets, which use less water than traditional fixtures. You can also save energy by investing in energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs. And during the warmer months, take advantage of natural ventilation by opening your windows instead of running the air conditioner.
3) Shop responsibly
The choices you make as a consumer can also have an impact on the environment. When shopping for food, try to buy local and organic produce whenever possible. This way you'll be supporting local farmers and reducing your carbon footprint. When shopping for other goods, look for products with minimal packaging or that are made from recycled materials. At Swadeh, our commitment to living an eco-friendly life informs our decisions on the packaging material we use.
At shops and malls, don't forget to bring your own reusable bags to the store!
4) Use eco-friendly products as much as possible.
There is no doubt that plastic has made our life easier. But the cost of that plastic in landfills is too high. Instead, turn towards naturally made products that are biodegradable and whose cost of production is not enormous. Materials such as clay, cast iron, terracotta, cloth, jute, hemp etc are easier on Mother Nature when discarded.
