Making the commitment to go green<\/em> is an important step in protecting the environment, but the question is where do you start? Here are some simple ways to go green and maybe you can start following them from today.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s just be honest and accept the fact that there’s no PLANET B, and the Earth is the only place which we can call ‘home’. <\/span><\/p>\n

In spite of that, we tend to be extremely reluctant and (mostly) ignorant when it comes to protecting the environment and our surroundings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every year on June 5, everyone comes together to celebrate World Environment Day. <\/span><\/p>\n

Started back 1972, this is the United Nations’ principal vehicle for encouraging awareness and action for the protection of our environment. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to the United Nations, biodiversity involves 8 million plant and animal species. In the last 150 years, the live coral reef cover has been reduced by half. <\/span><\/p>\n

Within the next 10 years, one out of every four known species may have been wiped off the planet. <\/span><\/p>\n

That sounds dangerous – doesn’t it? <\/span><\/p>\n

To add to that, the coronavirus has created havoc across the globe, showing us how terrible things can become when we reach a stage where nature takes control over things, pushing us a step back.<\/span><\/p>\n

I had once read a very beautiful quote which said – ‘It’s just a straw, said one million people!’ <\/span><\/p>\n

How true – we all think that our little mistake won’t cause any harm to the environment, but we mostly forget that millions like us are doing the same thing, and thinking alike.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sad, isn’t it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Nearly one-third of the plastic packaging we use escapes collection systems, which means that it ends up clogging our city streets and polluting our natural environment. <\/span><\/p>\n

Every year, up to 13 million tons of plastic leaks into our oceans, where it smothers coral reefs and threatens vulnerable marine wildlife. <\/span><\/p>\n

The plastic that ends up in the oceans can circle the Earth four times in a single year, and it can persist for up to 1,000 years before it fully disintegrates.<\/span><\/p>\n

In case you’re wondering what you can do to save the environment, here are some simple ways to start with and go green!<\/span><\/p>\n
