Question 1

What changes can you make in your habits to become more environment-friendly?

Answer

Changes to make our habitat more environmental friendly can be done in various ways:-

We must have done the five R’s to protect our environment:- reduce, refuse, recycle, repurpose and reuse.

Refuse means say no to the harmful things that can harm our environment and us like say no to single use plastic like plastic glasses- use paper glasses that is biodegradable, say no to plastic carry bags- use jute bags, do not take polythene for the small things we can carry in our jute bag etc; Reduce means that we should use less amount of things that we are using in our daily lives like we should save lights by switching off necessary lights, bulbs, fans or by not wasting food take the food in limited amount that we can eat; Reuse means we can use things again and again like jars for putting pickle again and again, glass bottles like jam bottle can be used again in the kitchen for the storage. And, this reuse phenomena does not use any energy; Repurpose is the phenomena where the thing cannot be used for the same purpose but we can use this for some purposes like plastic bottles, cracked crockery or cups these can be used for the plantation or for feeding the birds; Recycle means that use of wastes by recycling them like agricultural waste including paddy husks, corn cobs, fibrous coats of coconuts, tobacco waste and used papers can be converted into the usable papers and boards by the paper mills. Recycling of papers is very costly and needs some energy but worthwhile from the conservation of resources point of view recovery or recycling of papers can save many trees. By using these methods we can make our environment friendly and alternatively we our saving our environment from the exploitation because if the natural resources get extinct from the environment we will face the extreme conditions without the resources. If we will use environmental friendly ways we are automatically saving the basic human needs for the future generation and this concept is also known as the sustainable development. This perception for the sustainable development, changes the socio- economic services concept to meet the requirements for the future generation or to make our environment long- ranging by using limited amounts of resources.
