The April 22 of every year is marked as World Earth Day. Here are the ten habits you can change to save the earth.
Value foodUnderstand that food is valuable and whenever you step out for grocery shopping first ask yourself, do you really need it? Because the resources in this world are limited, and more we learn to value them and use them wisely.
Stop Food WastageAvoid food wastage at restaurants, hotels, or even in an urban household.
Buy LocalAppreciate the bounty of the region you come from and purchase from locals instead of supermarket shelves.
Seasonal EatingKeep an eye out on the seasonal chart to learn what fruits and vegetables are in season and plan your diet accordingly.
Cut Down on MeatAnimal rearing requires a lot of resources, including land area and water, and meat production contributes hugely to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which is one of the most significant contributors to the environmental problems.
Crop CycleEach crop has its growing period and how the changing season, soil, and the natural environment impact its growth.
FishMonsoon time is the breeding season for fish hence avoid having them. It can help maintain the marine ecological balance.
Go OrganicMake sure to opt for organic food products. Food in markets is all laden with chemicals and pesticides, which over the years may end up causing various harmful effects to our bodies. It is up to you what you want to purchase or not.
Cook FoodIn the busy lives that we live today, we all tend to dine out and get our hands on any fast food to curb those hunger pangs. But start taking some time out to cook as it can benefit your health.
Grow Your GreensGrowing your own greens is the best way to eat healthy and save the environment.
