Daily Habits that Slowly Destroy the planet

Our human lives are filled with these trigger-habit combos, often without us being aware of them. However, one major concern about these habits is on how it has continued to hurt the planet. To point them out, here are some seven daily habits we bet you didn't know that is slowly destroying the planet.

WATER CONSUMPTION

Human is very dependent on water. The world's water consumption had a huge impact on aquatic life. For instance, in using the toilets, the small act of flushing less means the smaller your carbon footprint is and by flushing your toilet less, you will be making a huge difference as to how much water you use on a daily basis.

PROCESSED FOOD

Students from dorm and borders occupants are undeniably dependent on processed foods. How can we not? The academic life keeps us so busy that it often leaves us tired. Not only are these bad for our health, processed food also poses a severe threat to the environment because of the chemical it gives after production. Processed foods require more energy to produce and package as compared to whole foods like oats, bananas, and spinach. The processing of these products increase disposal and severe pollution problems as well.

CLOTHES

Even popular brand Levis admits that over three thousand liters of water is needed just to make one pair of jeans. Clothes generally take large amounts of water and energy to make. The fashion industry, as a whole, is draining the world of its resources. Maybe its safe to say that buying ukay-ukay helps.

SKIN CARE

Exfoliating is a vital skin care routine for many people, but inside those exfoliating face are these things called "mircobeads" which are really tiny plastic. They are so small that they can not filtered during sewage treatment. This endangered marine animals as they often mistake it for food.

PAPER AND PLASTIC BAGS

While paper has become a symbol of eco-friendliness, only a few know that it takes 91% more energy to recycle a pound of paper than it takes to recycle a pound of plastic. It also actually takes more than four times as much energy to manufacture a paper bag than it does to manufacture a plastic bag. For paper bag production, forest must be cut down (trees are absorbers of greenhouse gases) and then the subsequent manufacturing of bags produces greenhouse gases. There has been a lot of hype surrounding paper as an alternative to plastic that it started to sound as though it is humanity's saving grace against climate chang. Note that it is just an alternative to a waste problem.

EATING MEAT

Unknown to many, raising animals for food, particularly meat, is attributed to be a major source of carbon and the single largest source of the other two gases; methane and nitrous oxide emissions. It is interesting to note that giving up beef will cut more carbon emissions than giving up your car or motorcycle. So maybe it's high time that you hit those greens?

PLASTIC DEPENDENCY

Many are aware that plastics are major contributors of the planet's degradation. Yet in almost every little thing that we do, there are plastics involved. Here in our province Hilongos especially school, many will testify that carrying a tumbler to the office or classrooms is a hassle, especially if there are bottled drinks available to your convenience. Yet it is important to remember that buying bottled drinks makes us less of a " green school or university." Carrying our own water container may be a hassle but it helps us uphold Schools to a less contribution of destroying our planet.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Well, as human who is living in this one abode, I have to abides those rules that are implemented relating on retaining the beauty of our planet earth. There are those people who are lack of knowledge on how they contribute of destroying the planet but instead of that we can't tell all of them oh! Stop doing that cause you kill out planet gradually. It is inevitable to tell them all but what can do to help our planet is that we must not one of them and if possible try to educate some people on your neighborhood or people you encountered. It is necessary if you're a teacher you must indicate this crucial topic especially the foundation of all basics which is in low-grade school so they have the idea on how to avoid our planet deteriorate. We have to give importance to our abode because we didn't notice we are only the recipients of the consequences we made and the next generation of people will badly suffers from agony because of climate change and greenhouse effects. I have encourage everyone if you are reading this content to give importance what is the real situation of our only abode.

Basically, we cannot stop other people from destroying our planet. However, we can start in ourselves. If we really care for the environment, we should start in ourselves.

We should helping each other to save and protect our planet friend. Yes that's true that there are a lot of people there who are not aware with their actions or doings if it is already not good or it will cause danger already to our planet.

So as an individual if we knows it already we should teach them and explain to them so that they will understand. I know it helps a lot to the people and especially to our mother Earth🌎.
