ADVOCACY ENVIRONMENT

Recycle, reduce, and reuse have been the mantra of environmentalists for many years, and it still holds true today. A more sustainable and biocentric worldview can still be promoted by tiny, everyday gestures, even though systemic change is required to change our current direction. Thought and deed taken together have the power to change things for the better.

1). RECYCLING-In 2018, the United States alone produced 292.4 million tons of solid garbage, or almost five pounds per person daily. Everything from food and technology to bottles, cartons, and furniture is included in this garbage. By recycling, giving, and using recovered energy, a significant portion of the trash can be diverted.

2). CONSERVING WATER-The typical American household uses 80 to 100 gallons of water per person each day. The UN estimates that the average person only requires 5.3 to 13.2 gallons of water each day. The most valuable resource we have is probably potable water because we cannot live without it. Reduce how frequently you shower, wash your car, do the laundry, wash the dishes, and engage in other water-intensive activities to reduce how much water you use. Alternately, you may switch to water-saving gadgets like a composting toilet.

3). CHOOSING ALTERNATIVES TO DRIVING-According to the EPA, the typical passenger car emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually. Every day, more automobiles leave the assembly lines, and the total amount of pollutants produced by all the moving parts is concerning. Consider biking, walking, or taking public transportation to get to your location if driving isn't absolutely necessary for you.

4). SAVING ELECTRICITY-According to the EPA, the typical passenger car emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually. Every day, more automobiles leave the assembly lines, and the total amount of pollutants produced by all the moving parts is concerning. Consider biking, walking, or taking public transportation to get to your location if driving isn't absolutely necessary for you.

5). BUYING USED-According to the World Economic Forum, the garment industry alone is responsible for 10% of global emissions, and 85% of textiles are disposed of in landfills annually. We could divert a sizable quantity of waste from landfills and use less energy in the manufacture of new goods if more people choose to purchase secondhand clothing, furniture, homes, and appliances.

6). USING REUSABLE CONTAINERS-According to the UN, 300 million tons of plastic garbage are produced annually by people. In addition to increasing emissions, the manufacture of plastic damages wildlife and contaminates rivers by ending up in the oceans and streams. Think about switching to Tupperware, paper straws, mason jars, beeswax wraps, reusable water bottles, biodegradable packaging, and other more environmentally friendly alternatives.
