Environmental habits are developing
Nature is our most vibrant source of life, which always preserves its mystery, fills our souls and minds with peace whenever we are together, and is always generous to us. The sun that doesn't hide its face, the chirping of the birds, the colorful blooming flowers... The most exciting details that make us move. Well, what do we do to protect nature, while we all desire to be in touch with nature, to rest in the shade of trees, to walk barefoot on the grass, to take calm walks by inhaling the soothing scents, to build sand castles, to dive into the clarity of the sea, in short to feel every part of nature in all our cells? ? Do we change our daily habits to be environmentally friendly and take small but effective steps to protect nature?
The answer to these questions can be both yes and no for all of us. Yes; maybe we don't throw garbage on the ground, we don't pour our waste oil into the sink, we collect our waste to make compost in our house, but is it enough, no. Sustainable habits and environmentally friendly attitudes are not limited to the first kitchen that comes to mind. There are many environmentalist habits that we can apply in all areas of life. From planning our travels to our shopping habits, from the way we eat to the energy use at home, we can adopt environmentally friendly approaches in many areas. How Does? Here are the green trends of the last period that will shed light on this question:
Saying goodbye to disposable products
It is certain that feeling the effects of the damage we have done to nature in recent years has encouraged many of us to acquire and maintain sustainable habits. Saying goodbye to disposable alternatives, which is among the green trends of the last period, can be an area that we all adapt quickly. It is our daily life to go shopping with a cloth bag instead of using bags, to ask for coffee to be put in a glass if we sit down and drink it instead of buying coffee in disposable cardboard cups, and to put it in our thermos if we are going to go out, fill our water in our flasks rather than buy them in plastic bottles and leave the house, evaluating metal or bamboo straw alternatives instead of plastic straws. It is among the environmentally friendly habits that we can practice frequently.
We turn to sustainable fashion
The fashion industry is among the industries that pollute the nature the most and cause an increase in carbon footprint. Most of us are aware of the impact of fashion, consumerism, environmental pollution and how the energy spent in the production of clothes endanger resources. So what can we do to prevent this? We can change the way we look at fashion in order to conserve natural resources, reduce our carbon footprint, and minimize damage to the environment as much as possible. Being informed about sustainable fashion, turning to environmentally friendly local brands, taking a look at second-hand options while shopping, evaluating organic and nature-friendly fabric options can help us make a more environmentally friendly shopping experience.
We explore ecotourism routes
A long and relaxing holiday is our common desire. Our travel and holiday habits, which have started to change especially after the pandemic process, are in the direction of enjoying being in touch with nature. Farms are very popular.
We are starting plant based nutrition and mini gardening
Isn't it a great source of pleasure for all of us to add fragrant, fresh, self-grown fruits and vegetables to our meals instead of buying them from the market? Mini gardening can be one of the most practical methods we use to feel nature at home. With the flavors we add to our tables by growing them in small pots, on our balcony, in our garden, we can both support the reduction of carbon footprint and make nature-friendly mini agriculture. In order to reinforce our environmentally friendly habits, we can also reduce meat consumption, adopt a plant-based diet, and add vegan alternatives to animal foods to our meals.
We create saving and mindful living spaces
It is possible to contribute to the conscious consumption of natural resources and to reduce the carbon footprint by paying attention to energy savings at home, in the office and in our living spaces. Turning off unnecessary lights, using water as much as we need, making changes in our kitchen to prevent food waste, using energy-efficient electrical appliances, and protecting environmental awareness in our living spaces are among the effective steps. In addition, living a 'more aware' life, appreciating what we have, and creating relaxing, comfortable, peaceful and green corners for ourselves are among the environmental trends that increase our quality of life and help strengthen our bond with nature.
