Earth day 2020
Earth day is raising awareness about the growing rate of extinction of millions of species. The decrease of plants and wildlife is alarming and dangerous for our existence, also an opportunity to learn from our mistakes.
In order to save the earth, we have to change our attitudes towards shopping and how we treat waste. We are all creatures of habit, and changing our behaviour will take some time.
The earth provides humanity with life. Our existence depends solely on the earth’s health, we should never forget this. Promises are meaningless. Action is all that matters.
Opportunities for economic growth and wealth exist in protecting our environment. Sustainability and profitability can co-exist.
Here’s what we can do to treat the earth better ;
*Pay attention to how you shop. Choose biodegradable products and ban plastic from you’re home, schools and office.
*Don't waste water. Avoid running the tap unnecessarily, recognise the value of water. Drought is an increasing problem.
*Stop making excuses. What you buy and consume matters, and it directly affects the rest of the world. Don’t expect the rest of the world to make good choices to make up for yours.
Recycle. Landfill should always be the last resort. If it cannot be recycled, don’t buy it.
Individual responsibility for the environment can never be taken for granted. We owe it to our future to act now and save the earth.
