There are many ways in which we can start helping to reverse the ecological situation on our planet today. While blaming the government and big industry for inaction we are doing nothing but wasting precious time. There is a point at which the damage done to ecosystems worldwide will be irreversible. Then everything will spin out of control. Not to let this happen we should all start acting today.
Small things are the things that count. When you think about ecology don’t count on big change taking
place fast and easy. Start with yourself. Buy eco-friendly products when available and don’t be afraid to pay more because this will actually save a lot in the future. For a wedding choose eco friendly jewelry, to be more exact eco friendly engagement rings instead of regular ones and go for eco yoga props instead of run-of-the-mill equipment. Choose paper bags, buy fair-trade and recycled products. Try to use public transport or cycle when possible: running a car to the nearest shop is both environmentally selfish and unhealthy. Always sort your garbage and put into separate containers. If your house or apartment block doesn’t have that available, start a campaign to get those installed.
Be active and don’t expect someone else to do it. Changes happen over time and they take a long while to have global effect. So be patient and start with tiny things. Hopefully our children will be able to say ‘Thank you’.
