Earth Day is an annual event held worldwide on April 22 to celebrate support for environmental protection. Not only is Earth Day 2019 a time to celebrate that, it is a time to make a difference as well. Below are 8 wonderful ways you can contribute this Earth Day (as well as make it a habit for a more sustainable everyday life):
- Plant a tree. It’s a simple but useful way to give back to the environment which we live in.
- Gardening. Create a sustainable gardening plan to keep your garden alive and attract more species.
- Walk, ride your bike, or carpool to work. You’ll save energy and protect atmosphere.
- Reduce, reuse, recycle — create a recycling plan.
- Using resuable bottles and cups instead of buying plastic bottles (saves money too).
- Use reusable bags when shopping.
- Wear green clothes, be environmentally friendly.
“Green” clothes also called sustainable clothing, are made with eco-friendly resources, organic cotton or recycled materials, which play a very important role in sustainable living in many different ways. There is a world of difference between conventional and organic cotton. The benefits of organic cotton don’t just stop at the quality of products. Read the following infographic to find out the differences between conventional cotton and organic cotton.
