Earth-wise living

Climate change got you worried? Try these lifestyle hacks to help reset the balance in favour of nature.

Compost

Segregate your kitchen waste (dry/wet). Get a composter and turn green waste into black gold for a kitchen garden.

Why do it?

Dumping grounds are overflowing and catch fire spontaneously. Remember the Deonar dumping ground fires. Those affect the air quality for a lot of people.

Say No to Plastic

Carry cloth bags for shopping or steel tiffins for raw meats (fish/chicken). Shop neighborhood pop-n-mom stores instead of supermarts, they could allow personal containers instead of plastic packaging for things like grains and pulses. Eschew all packaging. Instead, re-use & upcycle.

Why do it?

Seen pictures of the Mithi river as a rain choked with plastic waste. Single-use plastics are not recycled. They degenerate and enter the soil and water bodies, and lead to microplastics in our food supply chain (from fish, to everything else). So banish them from your life.
