You are your environment. It is not something different from you. How your environment is will represent how you are. Your health, your wealth, your mind will all be affected by your environment. And it is very important to keep the environment clean.
Recycle your garbage.
One of the things we constantly contribute to the environment is our garbage. House waste, human waste, industrial waste, etc. It is very important to separate the degradable ones from the non degradable ones. And then recycling the non degradable ones is the best contribution you can give to improve the society.
Be clean and let it be clean
Clean your environment. Remove the dirts and wastes. At least from the road outside your house. You don’t have to go pick plastics from all your street. Even though it would be great if you did. And then let the public places be clean by not putting waste to scatter. Even people who have the cleanest house pollute public places. Always have a pocket in your dress or a compartment in your bag for waste. If you can find a bin, put the waste there and discard it later. It’s not a big deal.
Be economic about transport
These days there is a single vehicle for every individual in a house. That itself will cause lots of pollution. Always use public transport whenever you can. No one can deny public transports are a hazard. So even if you own a vehicle, try carpooling among friends and family.
Plant trees
A very very well known remedy. It is not only important to stop creating damage. Rather, it’s very important to cure the damage already caused. And I believe plantation is such cure. Keep small pots of air purifiers like Neem, aloevera, money plant. You not only keep your house well aerated but you are also contributing your part to the bigger things.
Thus take care of your environment in every small way you can and the environment will take care of you.
