IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT

Published

Saving the Earth is too gargantuan of a task to do alone. It needs the effort of everyone to really succeed. That’s why events like Earth hour ask everyone to turn off their lights. One person doing can’t make a difference. Even if you’re the richest man in the world, your efforts only count if everyone is doing it with you. Sometimes, the feeling of trying to help the environment is too big. It’s like whatever you do it can’t really do much.

What people don’t realize is that it’s the little things that count. The things we do every day and create as a habit is what will help improve the health of the world. The Human impact on the environment has been negative for far too long so it’s time to reverse that. Fortunately, things you do at home can be the perfect step in the right direction.

Don’t Waste the Water

A lot of people are guilty of the habit of keeping the tap water running while brushing their teeth. It’s either they forget it’s on or they don’t seem to mind the wasted water coming out of the faucet. Letting this water flow wastes a ton of it every year. Imagine, if we all try to turn off the tap water then we wouldn’t waste so much! Same goes for the shower. We’re all guilty of taking too long of a shower. Being strict with the time and how much of the water we use can really be beneficial for the environment.

Ride with a Friend

Saving the environment doesn’t need to be boring. In fact, certain actions can be fun. Carpooling is an example. If you decide to bring your car it’s best to invite a friend who lives and works nearby to come along with you. That way you don’t both end up driving a vehicle to work. You can set up a schedule so you take turns driving. Your commute to the office doesn’t have to be lonely anymore. Now, you can talk and catch up with friends while making sure you do things that help the Earth.

Earth hour doesn’t have to be just in one day. We can make deliberate steps every day to ensure we’re conscious of how much energy we’re saving. If we all do this, then slowly but surely, we’ll put the Earth back on track to health.
