SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE

Sustainability! Sounds like a very big word, no?? Every time this word is said, the instant instinct is to think of big ideas, big movements and whatnot. But in reality, small steps in day to day life can make a huge impact in the world of sustainability. We all know how important it is for each one of us to change certain habits and the lifestyle we are practicing to have a livable planet tomorrow. The century of environmental thievery needs to end. End now. I don't want my child to grow up in a world that's full off diseases, pollution, and garbage. Do you? I am sure, not. Our small changes today can make a big difference tomorrow.

Plastic Disposal

Plastic never goes away. Don't throw away your plastics. Collect them. It will only take up one small corner in your big house. You can afford that much. Donate them to the companies that recycle plastic. I use UZED for it. No hustle, No worries. You can also buy gift cards from the points that you get when giving away your scrap. Both hands in chocolate kinda situation. 

Kitchen Waste

Use your kitchen waste. No! don't throw it. Your waste is your responsibility, no one else’s. Take a pot and make compost in your home. Use it for your plants and also save yourself of the extra money you spend to purchase fertilizers for your plants. If you don’t have plants, buy one today. 

Use Water Smartly

Collect the water your purifier disposes of as wastewater. In the world of RO's everywhere, a lot of water is just flushed down the kitchen trap. Collect this water instead and use it for your household chores. Putting a bucket under your purifier is not as difficult as it may sound. Use this water for cleaning and watering your plants. The world will thank you later.  

Shopping- Yes!! Shopping Bags- NOOO!! 

STOP!! Absolutely stop the use of plastic bags. Use the same cloth bag for bringing your groceries every time. Now you will say, I purchase a cloth bag for 20 INR every time I visit the supermarket. That makes it worse. The concept behind these bags is of reusing and not buying a new one every time. Carry your burlap bag every time you out shopping. Keep one bag in your office purse permanently to avoid yourself from purchasing bags for the brought this on my way to home situations. 

Washing Time

The constant urge to wash clothes for a clutter-free utility is understandable. But No! Don’t bow down before of such desires. Decrease your washing time by only washing clothes when they are sufficient enough to fill your tub. Never before that! This will help you save both water and electricity. 

The depletion is real and its impact is devastating. EACH DROP COUNTS!! Because everyone once thought, what difference will my one plastic make, we ended up landing in this situation we today are in. If today everyone takes their micro-steps, think of the collective impact it will have on the planet.
