Let’s do good to our nature together by being mindful of our life style.
We are in the rising technology era when we can get to our destination so quick with our cars, facetiming our friends and family anywhere in the world with internet and smartphone, many kitchens appliance to help us cook or even have ingredients delivered to our household, and so on. Life this day is so fast and quick, we have to make money, we go out to work in the morning. Then face some traffic, so take us 2 hours to get to work and another 2 hours to get to home. Then by the time we all get home; it is time for sleep because we have to wake up so early in the morning to beat the traffic again. We think we have to beat time, so we forget that living this way can harm our world without we knowing.
Me, personally like to encourage many of my friends, strangers at the market, my customers, and many others to slow themselves, pausing for a moment to think about their life. Every action we take always has consequences for the earth. Here is some easy action you can take to being harmony with the earth.
Carry your bag to do your shopping
This is super simple way that you can help reduce plastic waste from shopping. Many plastic bags that come with the shopping is harmful for wildlife, especially the colourful one because if these bags are getting their way into our ocean, rive, creek, and so on. Wildlife may think of them as their food and try to consume these bags. Unfortunately, the bags can get stuck in their throat and choke them, that is pretty sad is it not and we do not want that. In addition, if the bags are ended up in to the soil, it will take million year to completely broken down, and even they do breakdown, they may leave chemical traces that is poisonous to the soil.
Applying minimalism into your life style
It does not mean you cannot do anything at all and your house only have to have one chair. Many people misunderstand minimalism. Minimalism means to live the way that decrease unwanted items. To apply minimalism is to understand your true self. Once you understand yourself, you will be able to live minimally in more effective way. You still can allow to have your Favorite hobby, car, television, and so on. However, when you start you minimal living way, your mind will deliberately think before you purchase anything, do you really want them. Start from learning about you first and then you can proceed by being cautious of what you are about to buy. The less you buy the less wastage you will increase in the future because whatever you buy after you have been deliberately thinking will stay with you for long time. And that can help our world. Easy!!!!
using more natural products for your skincare routines and your household with cautiousness.
Approaching natural ingredients is one method to approach more eco-friendly life style and heal the earth. However, using these ingredients has to come with care because not all natural ingredients are safe. For instances, we love to smell our beautiful skincare because we would love our skin to smell amazing, so many skincare products contain synthetic perfume and essential oil. Since these scent ingredients are normally contain skin irritative ingredients, they may be not good to use on skin. Also, many fancy ingredients which claim to work magically on skin, are coming from overseas which they may be great on skin, but they cost our world by producing pollution from long-distance shipping. Therefore, they may not be an ideal material to use for skincare routine. We should look for local produced ingredients, especially native ingredients which cost our earth less and contribute to our native wildlife, but still be as effective on our skin as other luxurious ingredients from across many continents.
Well, there are still many ways for us to make a change in our life in order to support our beautiful nature, please stick around for Part 2.
