Here are some ways adopting which you can make your life eco-friendly

BASIC

(You can adopt them in your day to day life)

• Create minimum waste

• Avoid packaged food
• Switch to public transport or choose car pooling
• Use disposable batteries instead of rechargeable ones
• Avoid chemical air purifiers instead buy air cleansing plants like Areca palm, money plant or snake plant
• Wash your hands in restaurants and public spaces where facility is available instead of using tissues, hand sanitizers, wet wipes etc
• We can carry our favourite cutlery plates, spoon with us in journey. This will save lot of disposables.

SPECIAL (Most important contribution)

• Our Mother Earth is overpopulated and the resources are limited. The current generation is facing a scarcity of fresh air and water. The food we are eating is a slow poison and is a major cause of cancer & other diseases. So, what is the point of giving birth to children who won’t have access to clear air and water and will be suffering from diseases. Choose to ‘Go Childfree’ or ‘Stick to one-child’.
