How to take care of the enviroment

It is a custom that many take a joke They come home, turn on all the lights, and stay so wide. With how expensive the light is, more than one should think twice, but they don’t even learn.

Another good measure is to change conventional light bulbs for energy saving light bulbs . In that sense LEDs are in fashion for obvious reasons. It is true that they are more expensive, but in the long run the difference is more than amortized because they consume less and last up to 10 more months.

When we recycle we are fighting global warming . It is one of the best actions that we can carry out every day. It costs nothing to separate paper and cardboard, plastics, glass containers, batteries … Everything for a common good for which we can all collaborate without making excuses.

They are organic products, those that meet a series of standards that have to do with growing, processing, storage, packaging or distribution. They are not polluting, no pesticides have been used and we can be sure that they have not been genetically modified (transgenic products).

Best of all, certified organic foods maintain the most original flavor, which we often miss when so many unnatural substances are added to improve their preservation or appearance. Ultimately, there are many reasons to consume them.

Because of cars and industry, the ozone layer has become a very worrying problem. Gases as harmful as carbon dioxide have taken over the sky of large cities to create an atmosphere in which it is very difficult to live. You only have to take a walk through Barcelona or Madrid to realize it.

The solution? Too easy. Getting around by bicycle, on foot or with public transport , something that is also appreciated by your pocket, since the price of fuel is through the roof. In cities like Amsterdam they have learned their lesson very well.

If you have the opportunity to participate in a tree planting, don’t think twice. These are responsible for absorbing the carbon dioxide that I was talking about in the previous point, so they are a relief when it comes to combating climate change.

If you can’t plant trees because you don’t have a garden at home, you can always finance or actively participate in tree planting projects , something that soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo has recently done to save Indonesian forests.

Going back to recycling, it is important to know that plastic pollutes our cities, especially those with rivers, lakes or seas. On water they can resist up to 100 years and that has meant that many marine species have died from suffocation when ingesting it, believing it to be food.

Avoid consuming products that cause plastic waste as much as possible and, if necessary, try to separate and recycle them correctly to avoid that they end up damaging the environment.
