Simple ways to say Thank You Earth!

Charity begins at home. And if you really want to show the real green side of you, it should definitely begin from home. Just being concerned about climate changes or green house effect doesn’t work. Apart from being conscious, we need action; things to be done in day to day life that can really make a difference for the environment and influences others also.

Here are a few ways to show you how a few small changes in the way you live can not only be a big move towards being green and can actually save you a lot of money.

Do you ever wonder what happens to plastic packaging of the pre packaged food or gift wrappers that generously fill our dustbin? It goes to the landfill and emits toxins there until recycling agencies notice them. Do your bit and instead of throw away attitude recycle them. Use the Green Bin. Try and reuse items like polythene bags and plastics. It not only saves a lot of energy for the manufacturers to get materials to make them again, but also reduces the number of products reaching landfill.

Use natural methods while building or furnishing your house. Turn to recycling. A lot of things that you’d just want to throw away while construction could actually be recycled.

Be natural, buy organic

Do u know using conventional farming products use far more energy than organic farming? Also these methods pollute fertile soil in much bigger a way. Switch to buying organic products and sya thank you to Earth in your own special way.

Do some charity

Green Tariff
