Over the decades, global pollution has increased exponentially, also affecting all living beings that inhabit it. For this reason, care for the planet is currently being promoted because very soon nothing can be done to save the earth and for this it is necessary that we adopt a new lifestyle, in which we reduce the amount of pollution that we throw into the environment. daily. This lifestyle is known as being “eco-friendly”.
It is important to understand that to be eco-friendly it is not necessary to spend a lot of money or effort, but we can start with small things that contribute a grain of sand to save our planet. The true meaning is to respect the environment and thus not only take care of the planet, but also ourselves, for example, in our health; because it depends a lot on the conditions of the environment. One of the fundamentals that we must take into account when starting in this lifestyle is the use of "The 4Rs" which means: Reduce, Recycle, Reuse and Recover. Probably you are or know someone who believes that being eco-friendly only hinders what we do in our daily lives, but all these thoughts are wrong because currently there are many products that are even better than those that we usually use and that reduce the amounts of contamination. A clear example that allows us to verify all the benefits of adopting this lifestyle is to use a steel bottle to carry our water wherever we go and not only save money on buying water in a store, but we avoid the use of plastic bottles and, by carrying our own bottle, it helps us remember to drink plenty of water.
In conclusion, it is important to break stereotypes towards the eco-friendly lifestyle and recognize its importance to help recover our planet earth from small actions.
I can agree with you when you say eco-friendly is very important, but I think that is not the solution to our problems, it is only a strategy to make us believe that we are guilty of the pollution, while factories continue producing waste incomparable to what we could save by buying a bamboo toothbrush, or using the 4Rs then eco-friendly lifestyle would be only a solution if ALL of us do it (thing that ain't gonna happen unless something force us and change all the system)
I think that it's super important to discuss topics such as this one because as you said, pollution has increased greatly and probably will continue to do so, which will cause terrible damages for our planet and for life as we know it, unless we start doing something to decrease it, and even though we may believe that small changes like applying "The 4Rs" in our daily lives have no meaning or contribution, they can still help, so it's important for everyone to apply them (and other eco-friendly alternatives) to contribute as much as they can, whether it's big or small, it's still impactful. Loved your article! ❤️
I totally agree with your article, in most cases we think that the only way to save or contribute to our planet is with money, buy this with money, give this with money, and that is not true, and you show it. than in this interesting article. The world needs a change, not only because we are dying day by day with our actions and environmental decisions, but also because we must be responsible with the place and conditions in which we live, with the animals, with the plants, with everyone. Humans have a gift in our hands, and it is not fair that for a problem that has a solution, this amazing gift is wasted. We have to change…
I think that being eco-friendly is very important nowadays, but even though people listen to it a lot, they don't do anything to change their way of life, and I think one of the reasons is that in lots of aspects it's more expensive to have an eco-friendly life, but also some people don't even try to make a difference, even if it's small.
