10 Things Will Help
As the daughter of an environmental scientist, I grew up a little differently. When the world first began to care about Climate Change and the damage that was being done to our planet, when everyone got excited about Al Gore’s ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, and when conscious consumerism first entered popular usage, I was confused. Was this not common knowledge?
Diana McLarenPublished 3 years ago in EarthTikTok's (not-)Meat is (not-)Bad?
I need to face the facts: eating meat regularly isn’t helping the planet. Perhaps I can close my eyes to the animal cruelty and the horrors of the meat industry, but one cannot deny climate change. I mean, one can, I think right-wing politicians have proved that much. But one really shouldn’t and I’m not going to. While I wait for corporations to grow a conscience (don’t worry, I’ve got myself a comfy chair) and actually make an effort to clean the mess they’re making, quite literally, I’m looking for small ways I can contribute.

As parents, you want your kids to be safe and live a long healthy life. They are more than your DNA, they become the purpose of your life. You are willing to go to any lengths for their happiness. It is in your hands what kind of future they will inherit. One where they can enjoy seafood or one where they read about it in books.
Zameer HussainPublished 3 years ago in EarthA little goes a long way:
In high school, (many, many years ago), I had an English teacher who would always try to talk with us about the importance of recycling and doing our part to save the earth. Sadly, at that time, the only thing I heard him saying was: "DON'T USE HAIRSPRAY!" And, to a teenage girl, that's like telling a person not to breathe. Now, in hindsight, I completely see how ridiculous I was being. If I'm being completely honest, recycling was not something that we talked about or practiced in my household growing up.

As organizations keep on looking for all the more ecologically regenerative materials to use in assembling, the tire business is starting to return to an old Soviet technique for elastic development, utilizing a plant that is viewed as an annoying weed in the West—dandelions. A significant tire organization in Germany has cooperated with the University of Aachen to create dandelion elastic tires in a bid to scale back landfill squander, microplastic contamination, deforestation, and financial inadequacies identified with elastic tree development.
Who Saves the World? Girls!
It's no secret that our planet is in crisis. Climate change caused by carbon emissions driven by human-fueled consumption causes glaciers to melt, oceans to rise, atmospheric and air quality issues, and an undeniable trash problem in our communities and oceans.
L.A. HancockPublished 3 years ago in EarthEat my Heart: Why Eating From Head to Toe is Critical for Environmentalism
I am not a vegetarian. However, I do believe that we have long departed from respecting the animals we eat. This may be controversial, but I believe that ethical meat-eating is possible. We just aren't accomplishing it very well. There are some parts that are frequently talked about. For example, factory farming is obviously not a part of ethical meat-eating. Ideally, regenerative farming methods would be the way to go. If I were to go one further step, I might even suggest that people hunt their own animals to truly confront what it means to take a life to sustain yourself.

Reducing the population's carbon footprint is a topic that I feel the majority of people are aware of, yet not everyone makes the changes required to make an impact, and it is leading to the endangerment of wildlife and ecosystems. Here are five easy ways to reduce an individual's carbon footprint, because after all, change begins with YOU:

The use of sustainable products has increased hugely because people are now a little bit concerned about their future generations and they know the most polluting product on this planet is plastic. Since plastic products cannot be decomposed therefore they can get accumulated into landfills and water bodies and pollute them.

As our oceans cover a whopping 71% of our planet, it only makes sense that our bodies comprise of 70% water. Our mother earth is not isolated in a vacuum from us. Then again, the current climate change crisis that is making heads, is no doubt awakening us.
