This Earth Day, let’s make an effort to protect our planet…
Every Earth Day, people make promises to fight climate change; pollution, and conserve our natural resources! However, with each passing day, people somehow forget these promises and do what suits them better. Anyway, Bumchums thinks these are merely modest actions, but they all add up when it comes to protecting the environment and should be followed not only one day but throughout the year….
Plant a tree- Plant a tree or even a forest if you want to contribute to making your neighbourhood a little bit greener and reducing deforestation and climate change! Purchase a tree pack that contains up to 210 trees or a single sapling. Start a Green campaign in your neighbourhood or office, and make sure that you guys plant a sapling every quarter!
Walk or Cycle- Vehicles have a significant impact on people's health as well as air pollution and climate change. They generate harmful pollutants that enter our environment and that we breathe in, like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. Try to walk or ride a bike instead of using your car. Make sure to wear a comfortable Premium Lounger from Bumchums while cycling, as it is beneficial for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Spread the word- The more people who are aware of Earth Day and your initiatives to lessen environmental harm, the quicker pressing problems like plastic waste will be handled. Use your social media profiles to create awareness; you can also use a hashtag like #EarthDayChallenge to challenge your followers to one easy action, like picking up 15 pieces of litter, as a way to commemorate Earth Day if you'd prefer to do something more engaging.
Shop smart for clothes- Do you know that the fashion and clothing industry is one of the major factors of pollution and generates a lot of greenhouse gases? What you buy and wear affects the environment eventually, so make sure you are a smart buyer! At Bumchums, we put in a lot of research and effort to give you environmentally friendly clothes. All our fabrics are biodegradable, and it is also ensured that our raw materials do not destroy our environment with harmful chemicals.
Buy reusable bags- This is yet another incredibly easy way to change the world. Did you know that the majority of plastic bags are only used for ten to twenty minutes before being dumped in landfills for a very long time? This is a significant issue given that humans use 4 trillion plastic bags annually, especially since these bags cannot be recycled at facilities. You may immediately implement a simple remedy by conserving and reusing plastic bags. Also, you can purchase reusable cloth bags to use going forward.
Clean up your neighbourhood or park- You have the option of doing this alone or by joining a neighbourhood group. On Earth Day, it is beneficial and simple to stop and pick up any litter you come across while you are out and about. Check to see if your neighbourhood is hosting anything, as many neighbourhood environmental groups run larger events where you may join a team and clean up neighbourhood streets, highways, and roads of rubbish. At times, cleaning can be a tiring job, and for that, you need a cozy T-shirt from Bumchums!
Sometimes we might get so engrossed in what's going on social media or in our personal lives that we forget how much pleasure it is to be outside. Simply put, Earth Day serves as a reminder of how amazing and beautiful our planet is. Make the most of it by following the above simple lists and also, make an effort to get outside and show appreciation for the wonderful area we all call home.
