The responsibility of caring for the planet and helping the earth to recover from the climate crisis is on every person in the world. If you want to do your bit in the fight against climate change, here are a few practical ideas to help you get started…
Buy Less – Our lifestyle of consumerism in many parts of the world has led to things like fast fashion, and people buying things that they really don’t need. Consider whether you really need all that stuff. If you do need something, then research the materials that it is made from, where it is made and how easy it is to recycle it. Choosing natural materials rather than man made ones and reducing the amount of stuff that we buy is good for our bank balance as well as the planet! Whether you are looking for a new coat or building an extension, consider the environmental impact – for example, natural materials like these Timberpride oak framed extensions are better than man made.
Eat Well – Food is a huge concern when it comes to the environment. There are many ways that improving the environmental credentials of your food also benefits your health. Cutting back on the meat that you eat is one of the biggest things that you can do. Meat farming causes huge environmental problems all around the world, such as deforestation and increased CO2 emissions, so having more fresh vegetables and plants in your diet is much better for you. As well as this, try to source local produce. This food will have travelled less, and you will be supporting businesses in your local area.
