World Nature Conservation Day
We can protect nature by taking some simple steps. You can engage in small and significant activities with your family.
World Conservation Day is celebrated on July 28 every year. The day serves as a reminder to protect our natural resources. The day aims to create awareness about a healthy environment as an example of a sustainable and healthy society. We must realize that it is the responsibility of every human being to protect the nature around us. Every individual should do their best to protect the environment. On this day we wish to express that we must work together towards a sustainable world to ensure the well-being of present and future generations.
The good news is that you don’t have to spend your money to protect nature. Thus there is no need to withdraw your fixed deposit or approach lenders or investors. We can protect nature by taking some simple steps. You can engage in small and significant activities with your family. This way you can make a big difference right from your home. So let’s make the changes we can at home to protect nature. What kind of changes can be seen below.
Reusable straws can be used:
Put aside plastics that pose a threat to marine life and buy and use recyclable materials such as bamboo, metal, BPA-free materials, glass, steel or copper. Similarly, you can try to use the paper that is unnecessary in your home in many ways. Use a page of your newspaper if you want to write some notes at home. Also use hand towels instead of paper towels to wipe hands.
Start a consistent diet:
What does conservation have to do with food? You might think that. If you eat your food in eco-friendly ways, they leave a huge carbon footprint on the ground. Start a new diet at home by switching to seasonal and local plant-based foods. Carbon production options include avoiding animal-based foods altogether.
Do not use single-use plastic items at home:
Disposing of containers made of single-use plastic is environmentally friendly. Use sustainable metal alternatives such as reusable glass and steel. Instead of carrying plastic bags to the grocery store, carry cloth or paper bags.
Consider energy-efficient applications such as:
Invest as much as possible in energy saving devices. Start by switching to LED light bulbs at home. They use less energy. More importantly, they reduce electricity bills in the long run.
A natural preparation can include:
Composting is a smart and efficient way to reduce the amount of waste that comes out of your home and improve your backyard garden. You can use leftovers from the kitchen like vegetable scraps, egg nests and tea bags to grow plants in your home garden.
Choose a bird feeder:
You can put bird feeders in any cardboard box you have around the house. Feeding the birds is one of the favorite things for children so you can make them feed the birds. Bird feeders can be tied and hung on your balcony or a tree in your garden.
Craft Planters:
Make unused things in the house more useful. Coconut cans or old tires can be turned into useful items with a little creativity. Likewise, food containers and jars can be reused for storage purposes.
