5 Simple Things to Do

The article I read was to spread more awareness on what could be done to save the earth a bit. The 5 things that are suggested are really easy o do and they will help save the earth even if it’s a small contribution.

The first thing to stop doing is buying paper towels and using cloth instead of them. This can prevent a lot of trees from getting cut.

The second thing to do is not using plastic bags as much and using reusable bags. Plastic bags cause a lot of animals’ death by strangling them.

Third thing is being meat and/or dairy free once a week. You will be healthier and reduce the death of animals. If you don’t consume animals they won’t be produced. There is an overproduction in animals and it is an unhealthy production that has a lot of genetic disorders in it.

Fourth thing is buying secondhand products as much as you can. If you buy things that can be bought from secondhand sellers, they won’t be produced, thus result in saving in needless use of products.

And the last, fifth, one is to carry your own water bottles. This will decrease the amount of pollution caused by the thrown water bottles and the bottle caps that are spread around in nature.

I really liked how this article showed what could be achieved in small changes of what we do everyday. If a thousand people do these, the world would be a lot less polluted. Usually the counter argument that these kinds of things get is that if they don’t do it someone else will, and them doing these useful things won’t change a lot. But it does. They become the 1 in the thousand that makes the world a less polluted place. I personally try to do these even when sometimes they are the hard way. Carrying a water bottle can be hard, and they get lost easily and buying a new one just because of the possibility that they get lost easily is the easy way. But if you try a bit harder not to lose your bottle, you will pollute less. These were one of the easiest 5 things a person can try to do to not pollute the environment and save the earth.
