Are we fully aware of the impact of everything we do throughout the day? Some acquired habits, some actions that we carry out almost mechanically or without realizing it, have a certain environmental impact that, although relatively low, multiplied by the millions of people who inhabit the planet, its consequences take on truly enormous dimensions. how-we-pollute-the-environment @istockphoto It is difficult to list each and every one of the daily actions that we carry out every day and that can have a greater environmental impact: each house is a world and everyone's habits are very different from each other. However, we can choose 5 of the most common actions to illustrate how we pollute the environment without realizing it and, in this way, raise awareness about the consequences of our own actions. This is the first step to take measures that contribute to improving the world we share, measures that in some cases may seem insignificant but that, in practice and without great effort on our part, substantially improve a natural environment that well deserves to be object of all possible attention. New call to action Five examples of how we pollute the environment What has been said: we invite you to review 5 examples of daily actions that harm the environment, as well as their respective measures to prevent them.
Take note of it: 1. Wrapping and packaging how-we-pollute-the-environment More and more people are aware of the importance of recycling . However, there is still a long way to go, and sometimes it is difficult for us to know how to properly recycle some products such as medicines, light bulbs, cell phones, plastics... even by recycling, we also pollute! Measure : the best recycling is the one that should not be done . Therefore, when you buy, try to purchase products in bulk (whenever possible), or with environmentally friendly Asia Mobile Number List packaging ; reduce the volume of waste you generate, and make sure that all members of your family know how to recycle correctly. If in doubt, you can consult some pages with useful information on this matter, such as Ecoembes . 2. Eat melons and watermelons in winter, or oranges in summer... how-we-pollute-the-environment In relation to the above, we can add that the consumption of certain products instead of others damages the environment to a greater extent. For example in food, which represents a good part of our daily consumption, fruits and vegetables out of season (produced in greenhouses, or coming from very distant places obtained and transported without ecological guarantees), genetically modified foods or the abuse of meat and fish are some of the bad habits that show how we pollute the environment without realizing it, and that we can correct in a simple and effortless way.
Measure : you can be more responsible with your daily consumption by consuming local products , purchasing them directly from producers or in alliance with other consumers: consumer cooperatives are a convenient, simple and environmentally friendly option. You can also buy from fair trade stores , where they guarantee the origin of all their products, made taking into account respect for the environment and the dignity of the people who produce them. New call to action 3. Waiting for hot water in the shower how-we-pollute-the-environment Water is a natural resource that is as necessary as it is limited. It is estimated that in Spain, per person and day, we consume about 150 liters of water (according to INE data for 2013). A 15-minute shower, for example, represents a consumption of more than 60 liters, or a 1-minute wash of hands, dishes... requires almost 4 liters of water. Measure : in addition to turning off the tap while we soap up or brush our teeth, in the shower, we can save between 5 and 10 liters of water if, for example, while we wait for hot water to come out, we take advantage of the rest of the cold water to fill the bucket for mopping the floors or the watering can if we have plants at home. 4. Use incandescent bulbs how-we-pollute It is not only an environmental concern that should lead us to take more into account the consumption of light in our home.
