Never waste water

One of the quintessential needs of human life is clean water. But with most of the water percentage being saline, as it is part of oceans and seas, it becomes highly important that we save the drinking water that is available for us. You can do so by controlling the wastage of water while doing domestic work.

Reduce electricity consumption

Electricity is created using natural resources like coal and hence keeping electricity consumption to a minimum can help in its conservation. One of the best ways is to unplug all the electronic devices from the socket whenever you are not using them. This simple step will help you reduce your electricity utility bill and overall electricity consumption.

Control wastage/garbage

You can reduce waste by avoiding discarding items like clothing, food, and so on unnecessarily. Ensure that the items that can be recycled like metal, paper, and glass are properly handed over to the recycling unit so that there is less wastage. From mindful grocery shopping to freezing meals in reusable containers to increase their shelf life, there are multiple approaches to control wastage/garbage.

Use eco-friendly cleaning options

Cheap cleaning products are readily available, but it is our duty to contribute towards improving life quality on Earth. That is why you must opt for eco-friendly cleaning products that do not contain toxic chemicals and plastic packaging. Avoid using single-wet wipes, anti-bacterial wipes, and baby wipes. Instead, you can opt for bio-degradable wipes.

Reduce plastic use

The one thing that has been a big problem for the environment is plastic. Despite the fact that less use of plastic is promoted at almost all levels across the world, a lot still needs to be done. On World Nature Conservation Day you can contribute by reducing your plastic use.
