We protect the planet, the planet protects us. Today, more than 700 million people live in conditions of daily shortage of drinking water, and in just ten years this figure promises to grow to 3 billion - not only due to population growth, but also due to the rapid decrease in water resources and climate change, which is partly provoked by people themselves. ... By simply turning off the tap water in time, we extend the life of the world's population. The importance of sorting garbage is also time to learn for everyone: unnecessary photocopies can turn into new school notebooks and save trees, and a plastic bottle will not lie in the ground for a hundred years and will be recycled instead. Everyone chooses the forms of consciousness for himself: someone sees the point in giving up meat, someone monitors the consumption of electricity, and someone is fond of planting trees. The long-term benefits of such steps are clear: everyone wants to breathe clean air, have plenty of water and eat healthy food. But in order to start caring for the environment, there is an even more obvious motivation - the ability to look and feel better after a week or a month of "green regime". Start with simple steps and your body will thank you almost immediately.
Start cycling
The whole world is switching to bicycles for a reason. According to Spanish scientists, 225 thousand people in Europe die every year from diseases caused by exhaust gases. Save energy in the evenings
Most of the energy today is produced by burning coal, oil and gas. At the same time, toxic substances are released that increase the risk of various diseases, including cancer. Combustion of hydrocarbon fuels for energy production is one of the main sources of carbon dioxide emissions, the growing content of which in the atmosphere is a key factor in increasing the greenhouse effect and leading to global climate change. Therefore, for the sake of preserving life on Earth, everyone is obliged to save electricity, and special attention should be paid to the moderate use of light at nightfall.
Eat seasonal fruits and vegetables
We have heard about the benefits of seasonal vegetables and fruits since childhood, but there is another important point. In conscientious farms, they are usually grown in the most natural conditions, that is, in the garden, using the minimum amount of chemical fertilizers. As for greenhouse vegetables, artificial lighting, heating and special preparations accelerate ripening, but do not allow the crop to naturally ripen and acquire a rich taste.
Such simple rules can improve not only your life, but also the ecological situation of all the Earth as a whole. It's time to start with yourself!
