Just another reminder for us all to be mindful in how we use disposable things in our day to day life. Yes, everything has an environmental impact. Yes, one person making lifestyle changes can make a difference. Yes, the problem is very real.
How does this affect our health? Simple. Pollution, waste, and negligence will impact the environment negatively and it will all come back around to bit us in the butt by providing us an enviroment harmful to our health.
What can YOU do? Simple.
-Recycle. Plastic, paper, alumium cans.
-Use napkins or towels in the bathroom? Grab 1 or 2 instead of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... I have seen people grab about a 3-foot long piece of paper towel to simply dry their hands in the bathrooms. Overkill.
-Get by by using less to do the same amount. I am sure there are ways in which you can do the same task using less resources. Like shower for 5 minutes instead of 10.
-Drink water from a reusable bottle instead of buying bottled water. Water is water, it might taste a little different from bottler to bottler, but it is all the same, you will get used to it (or just be content with it) and you pee it out anyways.
-Promote awareness. Long-term enviromental damage is not something to be taken lightly or think that we won't be directly affected by it (that's just being selfish).
-Make simple changes. See how easily one can make a difference.
