1. How might you make an area where you live more sustainble ?  

 

 Become a member of a community garden

It's not just about growing your own food, being a member of a community garden helps promote sustainable living in your area. Gardens create green spaces and yard waste can be shredded and returned to maintain healthy soil.

Green spaces are not only important for your mood; in urban areas, they can play an important role in offsetting carbon emissions.

Reduce, reuse and recycle

Reduce your need to buy new products. If there is less waste, then there is less to recycle or reuse. Learning how to reuse items or reuse them for a different use, then what they are intended for is essential in the waste hierarchy.

Recycle old glass bottles or aluminum cans. Keep a recycling bin at home and try to make more trips to the recycling station than to the landfill.

. Use daylight as much as possible

Sunlight is free and costs nothing. Using sunlight during the day helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels to produce electricity, and your light bulbs and tubes will last longer.

Choose renewable energy

Choosing renewable energy over fossil fuels is a great way to stop climate change and do your part to make things happen. Install solar panels to heat water with solar energy.

Explore options for obtaining government tax credit. Talk to your utility company if there is a way to add clean energy to the grid to offset your carbon footprint.

 Ditch the plastic

Plastic never goes away. Plastic takes millions of years to break down. Plastic can be found swirling on ocean surfaces. It seriously affects marine life. Every year a large number of mammals, seals, seabirds die after ingesting plastic or becoming entangled in it.

It's time we all switched to reusable bags when buying and disposing of single-use plastic water bottles.

 Observe an Eco-Saturday

Just one day or afternoon or at least one hour a week, set your own time and give yourself and the planet a break. During that period do not buy anything, do not use any machine, do not change electrical items, do not cook, do not answer your phone, it means that you do not use any resources.

Every hour a week you reduce your carbon emissions by 0.6 percent per year.

Step-by-step explanation

Sustainable living is the practice of reducing the demand for natural resources by making sure to replace what you use to the best of your ability. Sometimes that can mean not choosing to consume a product made with practices that do not promote sustainability, and sometimes it means changing the way you do things so that you begin to be a more active part of the life cycle. We all know that climate change, global warming, the depletion of the ozone layer, and the depletion of resources are real and their impact on human and animal life can be devastating. It is an opportunity for people to take actions for sustainable living that can help reduce their carbon footprint or environmental impact by altering their lifestyle. Simple measures like using public transportation more frequently, reducing energy consumption, and being greener can go a long way toward reducing your environmental impact and making this planet a clean and safe place. Sustainable living is a lifestyle that attempts to reduce the use that an individual or society makes of the Earth's natural and personal resources. Practitioners of sustainable living often try to reduce their carbon footprint by altering transportation methods, energy consumption, and diet. Defenders of sustainable living aim to lead their lives in a way that is consistent with sustainability, in a natural balance and respectful of humanity's symbiotic relationship with the Earth's ecology and natural cycles.
