“What humans do over the next 50 years will determine the fate of all life on the planet.”
– David Attenborough, British Naturalist and Broadcaster
The decisions we make in our daily life — at home and away from home — impact the wellness of our health, family, community, and the natural world. For instance, conserving energy by turning the lights off in empty rooms is a start to environmental awareness. This small habit is sensible to adopt because it conserves natural resources and saves money. This action may lead to other changes, such as making your own cleaning supplies using non-toxic, biodegradable products like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon. Unsurprisingly, simple eco-friendly habits tend to blend across all areas of our life. Eventually, this may lead you to adopt even bigger practices – for instance, using a bike instead of a car whenever possible.
These routines may sound insignificant, yet these beneficial changes infiltrate and improve almost every aspect of our lives – our health and fragile ecosystem. Regardless of where you fall on the spectrum, try thinking of what more you can do.
