Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?
Sustainable living is about creating a balance between meeting our needs and preserving our planet. For example, in terms of food, zero-waste living attempts to eliminate food waste by composting or recycling.
The waste that an individual creates is small in proportion to all the waste produced by society. Yet all small contributions, when added up, make a difference. The best way humans can practice sustainability is to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
There is a saying that our environment gives us back what we give to it. If we keep our environment clean, we will be healthy and free from germs. But if we mess up our environment it will decompose and make us sick.
The environment is a give-and-take situation. If we want to live a more sustainable life, we should be willing to keep our environment free of waste and dirt, or anything that will generate germs and make us unhealthy.
