Our environment is in danger. All the things that we use and consume have a negative impact on our planet. What can we do prevent more damage? Live a sustainable life.
Sustainable living is a lifestyle that chooses to reduce the dependence on earth’s natural resources. Common practitioners of sustainable living aim to minimize their carbon footprint through various means including finding alternatives to energy consumption and transportation.
Recycling, conserving energy and water, and planting vegetables in the backyard are just examples of sustainable living. With that, we can reduce the use of man-made resources like plastics and use less oil.
Oil or fossil fuel is a tremendous source of energy but using fossil fuels is also a huge source of pollution. Most of our electricity comes from fossil fuels. When fossil fuels burn, they emit toxins which are dangerous and increase carbon dioxide emissions. If we have more carbon dioxide than oxygen, we’ll die of suffocation.
Plastics also come from oil. Because of this, plastics can take 100-500 years to decompose. Try and imagine the tons of plastics thrown everyday and how our planet will look in only 100 years. We’ll likely be gone, but all the plastic that was ever produced in our lifetimes will still be here. Now multiply that by 5. It’s a frightening thought.
One of the goals of sustainable living is to minimize the use of these things. To lessen the reliance on the power grid, we use solar panels and wind turbines. These generate power using a free and almost limitless source of fuel: the sun and the wind.
The other approach, is to minimize trash. Plastics are top contributors of trash. Every day we throw tons and tons of plastics into landfills.
How can we practice sustainable living at home?
Sustainable living is not as hard as it sounds. Here are some tips:
Begin by reducing your trash. To reduce trash means that we have to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reduce trash by carefully thinking what needs to be thrown out, and what we can still use.
Reuse what we can by repairing, or creating new uses for old items, like making flower pots out of cans of spaghetti, old clothing into rags, and glass bottles for vases.
Recycling bottles, cans and paper by sending these trash items to recycling centers allows them to become material for new items.
Bigger things like appliances, mattresses, or old furniture can be disposed of by calling a garbage removal service. These companies will do the recycling for you.
Living a sustainable life is easier than it appears and becomes quite natural following a little practice. What our environment needs is the realization that we need to change our conventional way of life.
Since Oakland, California began their sustainable living effort in 2000, they have recycled 700,000 tons of cans, bottles, magazines, junk mail, paper, cardboard and other biodegradable materials. With that, they have conserved natural resources and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. If they can, why can’t you?
