 TAKING CARE OF THE PLANET.

To contribute to the resolution of garbage problems that affect the planet

earth, countries, communities, the home, among other places and spaces, we

can take guidelines from the following tips that from my point of view are made

to me: extremely important and that will help us improve both our quality of

life, reduce garbage and lower the levels of pollution that occur in our

environment, to help the planet earth, the ecosystem, biodiversity, people, the

fauna and flora. But while recycling our waste is a good way to contribute to

the environment, it is not the only way: it is even better to attack the root

problem and reduce the waste we generate in our daily lives. On the one hand,

different factors - such as overcrowding, different modern human activities

and consumerism - have contributed to the accumulation of a large amount of

waste (hundreds and thousands of tons per year), an amount that is

increasing. On the other, not in all countries there is adequate technology to

recycle waste and, until now, its management has not been efficient. Open

burning and disposal in dumps or landfills, for example, cause problems such

as pollution, which leads to diseases and damage to the environment, as well

as social and political conflicts. The first thing to take into account when

analyzing the problem of waste is its origin. What was the waste before it was
disposed of? The answer is simple: raw materials. All the things that we use

every day and then discard (newspapers, plastic bottles and bags, aluminum

cans, etc.) are made with materials from the Earth, in whose production and

consumption, energy and energy have also been used water.

That said, I consider that these may be some tips that can help us to put them

into practice in our day-to-day life and contribute to the cause, that the planet

belongs to all of us who inhabit it, and that is why it is up to us. all of us take

the pertinent actions to achieve changes and impacts in a positive way,

avoiding environmental damage and helping the environment to improve,

reducing pollution and caring for both flora and fauna. Among these tips, we

have the following tips to be applied:

1. We can make use of cloth bags, this is so, because these bags can be reused

many times, if they get dirty we can wash them with soap and water and let

them dry in the sun, if they break, we can take threads and a needle to sew the

part that has been broken and continue to use them, these cloth bags can be

used to replace both plastic bags and paper bags, to avoid the amount of

waste that is created from them, and that many times people do not they often

reuse plastic and paper bags, but take them single-use and dispose of them.
2. We can make use of stainless steel straws or straws, although we have to

be careful with this type of straws, since many people usually go to their

trusted dentist, and they tend to confirm very often that this type of straws

Stainless steel usually generate fractures in the teeth and damage to the gums,

for which they suggest taking the option of using silicone straws or straws, be

they stainless steel or silicone straws, the truth is that they are reusable and

we can use them as many times as we want and on any occasion, take them

with us and keep them, and once the action is finished, we have to wash them

well with soap and water. These straws must be replaced by the plastic straws,

since these are usually used only once, and are not usually given a second

use, but, once used, they are discarded without further ado, and these tend to

generate a lot of waste and contamination.

3. We should make bulk purchases, since we avoid making use of packaging,

bags and plastic and paper containers, which are usually single-use for the

most part, since many times once used or finished the products are discarded.

When buying in bulk we can take our own containers when purchasing the

products, whether they are paper bags or glass containers and another type

of packaging or container that is of various uses and that are recyclable to a

greater extent, since all this type of packaging of plastic and paper in the
products, they generate too much pollution and that is not something positive

for the environment.

4. We should stop using plastic bottles, plastic bags, cans, many times these

are used and once the product is finished, although many other people usually

use these plastic bottles more than once, to store liquids or solids, but the

ideal is make use of bottles that are recyclable and we always use them to

store liquids or solids, avoiding creating more polluting waste and making use

of these reusable bottles on every occasion that requires their use, since cans

and plastic bottles, plastic bags or Cans to store both liquids and solids

generate a lot of pollution.

5. We can avoid the use of paper invoices, accounts, files or certificates, as

long as these procedures are not strictly necessary or as long as we can

acquire the same data through the Internet and electronic means without the

need to be printed. , thus we are saving paper and ink in large quantities, we

avoid generating more waste, if it is necessary to use the paper, once it has

been used or it has already fulfilled its function, if it returns to us, we can use

this paper to reprint another information, write in it, take notes, draw pictures,
make crafts or give it another type of use, thus avoiding generating a large

amount of waste and residues.

6. We can prepare our meals from home and pack them in reusable packaging,

avoiding going to fast food places where they offer us cutlery, plastic

containers and cups, and napkins, since these single-use products are

generally many people do not usually use them again, they end up being a

great polluting factor. And not only with meals, but also with other foods, or

we can take our reusable packaging and offer to pack the food requested in

these, or go to restaurants that use plates, cutlery and glasses made of glass,

porcelain or stainless steel, thus avoiding contamination.

7. We have to stop discarding food or vegetables just because they are not

pretty or do not look good, one thing is that they are spoiled, in this case we

should not consume them because they can affect our health, and another

thing is that we do not like their appearance, such as peels with spots,

wrinkles, black peels, foods that are not shiny or without any perfection, many

foods are thrown away just because people do not want to buy them due to

their external appearance, despite having been in excellent been able to

consume them, and this in turn, generates waste and pollution.

8. We have to stop wearing clothes on a whim, or buy fashion clothes just for

the sake of it, or the so-called fast fashion, since the fashion industry is one

of the three most polluting industries in the world, worth the redundancy, due

to the amount of chemicals and waste that are generated when processing,

producing and generating garments, we can use clothes for several years and

combine them with other garments, we can make new designs, we can donate

them to entities such as orphanages, entities for people with disabilities,

homeless, homeless, or homes for the elderly. We can exchange or barter with

our garments and the garments of an acquaintance, a friend, a relative or

neighbor, avoiding the great pollution that this industry produces, not

counting the ignition of animal origin, which damages both the flora and the

fauna, and we can do the same with other objects such as toys, for example,

and thus contribute to helping the environment.

9. We should reuse those products that cannot be reused, such as plastic

bottles, tin cans, containers of all kinds, plastic food containers with lids, and

all kinds of elements, which we can give you a second. use, either as a craft,

so that it provides us with comfort, that saves us money and time among other

factors, and that waste is also eliminated, in this way, we can give all those
containers a second chance that they are not recyclable but that we can make

them reusable with our ingenuity and with the help of the internet.

10. We can avoid receiving advertising information or any type of printed form,

such as those that are usually offered to us while we walk on the street, such

as letters, brochures, cards, invitations to events or training, pamphlets or any

other type of presentation of the information , it is better to make a large poster

that contains the information and that does not deteriorate, or wear garments

such as shirts that contain the information if speaking advertising, we can use

digital media such as emails, virtual messaging, social networks, videos,

among others, avoiding contamination with residues and waste that are

usually discarded once read and this generates contamination and more

waste.

These are only 10 tips that I consider to be extremely important and that we

can put into practice in our daily lives, helping and contributing with respect

to the problem that garbage has been, which affects the home, the community,

the countries, the entire planet, and those affected are usually people,

ecosystems, biodiversity, fauna and flora. By taking well-controlled actions,

we can really help eliminate or reduce waste and reduce pollution.
