Sustainability the quality of not being harmful to the environment or depleting Natural resources
The key to being a person that protects and respects the Earth is to live a Sustainable life. In my life, I try my best to live a sustainable life without wasting so much of our precious Earth's natural resources. However, as a person who depends on their parents for the most part, it is difficult to achieve a perfect sustainable life. As an individual, I do try my best to keep my life as sustainable as possible without any inconveniences to my parents. These are some steps you and I can take to live a sustainable life without changing your life drastically:
- Cut your shower time by 50% or 25%
- Turn of the lights or electronics when you are not needing them
- Recycle as much as you can
- Don't throw your old stuff/clothes away donate them (if there in good conditions)
- Drink from the tap, tap water is safe to use
- Drive less! You can walk to places of close distance or carpool
- Eat less meat
