‘Shape Our Future’ theme of Earth Hour 2022
No wonder Mahatma Gandhi had once quoted about how Earth provides enough in order to satisfy every man’s need but it doesn’t have enough to satisfy every man’s greed. This world has enough and sufficient gifts for all of us. Although we have earned a lot of rights as human beings, we also have many duties towards keeping this place a better world to live in. We should get rid of our selfishness so that we use natural resources accordingly. Here are some ways to ensure that we are responsible Earth citizens:

1) Go sustainable:
You can start with making simple lifestyle changes. You can take less, recycle and upcycle goods, reduce the waste, go organic, consume locally produced goods, use eco-friendly bags and cleaning agents, get rid of quick fashion, and become more responsible citizens of the planet. These simple steps will not immediately lead to bringing about a change in the world but eventually, they will have a huge impact in the long term.
2) Appreciate and use green energy:
It is important that renewable energy sources are used to make electricity while leaving little to no greenhouse emissions. You can even go for green energy solutions to build office blocks, homes, and solar water heaters, cooling systems supported by renewable energy sources.
3) Save water:
You would be really shocked to know that more than 2 billion people live in countries that lack water resources. This is due to the increasing climate changes in various places. You can help them your bit by taking shorter showers, checking if your kitchen or toilet has any leaks, switching off the water while shaving or brushing your teeth, and trying rainwater harvesting among others.
4) Plant trees:
You can plant trees as much as possible in order to make this world a greener place. You can gift plants to your friends or sign up for plantation drives. You can support organizations that work on projects involved in restoring forests, mountains, green areas, etc.
5) Avoid using plastics:
You might have read about how using plastics has become a huge problem in our country as they don’t get recycled easily and also lead to pollution problems. You can check out for alternatives to plastic bags such as paper bags, cloth bags, etc. Even if you are supposed to use plastic, you can use high-quality plastic material and get rid of any low-quality plastic stuff.
Your small efforts can go a long way in making the Earth a beautiful place to live in and sustain for humans, animals, and even natural environments. So, do your bit and feel good this Earth Day and every year.
