Small Ways You Can Save the Earth in Your Daily Activities

Sorting waste helps with effective waste management. Organic waste can be composted, and paper waste can be recycled. Separating hazardous materials minimizes their harmful impact on health and the environment.

While avoiding plastics completely is challenging, you can still cut down on their use. Bring your own reusable water bottle to minimize plastic waste.

• Lack of Microbial Breakdown

Plastic is not easily broken down by microorganisms, which are essential for decomposing waste and maintaining soil health.

• Long Polymer Chains

Plastics are made of long-chain polymers that take hundreds to thousands of years to decompose.

Switch to cloth or recycled plastic shopping bags instead of single-use plastic bags. While cloth bags have a larger carbon footprint during production, they are more sustainable in the long run. Use them wisely to reduce overall environmental impact.

Motorized vehicles contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. By choosing public transportation, you help reduce these emissions. Modern public transport options, like electric buses and high-speed trains, are often more environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient.
