As much as you can, opt for unpackaged food and carry your own shopping bag to the store when you go shopping. Reuse things or give them away if you’re not using them
4) Adopt modern technology
You can have access to everything thanks to the internet and you don’t need physical copies. Pay your bills online, screenshot your travel documents and access your bank statements online to adopt a paper-free lifestyle.
5) Encourage Composting
Composting is an easy process which takes plant and kitchen waste and turns it into food for plants. This considerably reduces the amount of waste that ends up at landfills.
6) Stop Littering!
If you see a person littering on the road stop them immediately. Educate them about the health hazards and inculcate the habit of disposing of your trash in a dustbin.
These changes, even though small make a significant difference. Its empowering to know how much of a difference ONE single person can make.
