Climate change is a challenge we all need to tackle together, as even the smallest contributions can have a significant impact on our planet. Surprisingly, there are a few easy things we can do to help protect the Earth. What are they? Let’s find out!
Mindful Eating
The first simple step Warga Asri can take is to be mindful of portion sizes. Make it a habit to finish the food you’ve taken and avoid overbuying groceries, as organic waste also impacts the environment. Additionally, make sure you maximize the use of your ingredients when preparing meals. Fun fact: vegetable scraps like carrots and celery can be turned into delicious broth!
Once you’ve mastered portion control, consider choosing healthier options like tempeh. Interestingly, 100 grams of tempeh contains around 18-20 grams of protein while producing less than 20% of the carbon dioxide emissions compared to other protein sources.
Reuse Clothes in Your Wardrobe
Every year, over 100 billion pieces of clothing are produced globally, with 65% of them ending up in landfills within 12 months. The fashion industry, especially fast fashion, is responsible for 8–10% of global carbon emissions, surpassing the combined emissions from aviation and shipping.
To help mitigate this, Warga Asri can mix and match outfits you already own or rent clothes for special occasions. If you have excess clothing, consider giving it to friends or family, selling it online, donating it, or taking it to a recycling center. Don’t let your clothes end up in a landfill.
Make Waste Sorting a Habit
Sorting waste can be a simple habit at home with a significant impact on the environment. Warga Asri can start by separating organic and inorganic waste. Then, hand over inorganic waste, like plastic, cans, or glass, to a waste bank for further processing.
For organic waste, such as food scraps, you can turn them into compost. Not only does this reduce the burden on landfills, but it also extends the usefulness of food that can no longer be consumed.
Let’s start practicing these simple steps to help preserve our environment! Besides these three easy ways, there are plenty of other methods to explore! If you’re keen to live a sustainable life in a fun and consistent way, don’t forget to join the #AksiAsri365 challenge!
