Today’s another special day to remind ourselves to be conscious about our planet. Last time on our Blog about Earth Day(April 22, 2018) we provided a simple guide on how to help the cause and planet as a company. For this occassion we will be addressing things that we do in our everyday tasks:
- Aside from electricity being cheap here in Saudi Arabia, bottled waters & beverages are relatively cheap compared to other countries also making them one of the biggest culprits in plastic pollution. Opt for re-usable steel/plastic bottles that can store both your cold & hot drinks. Bonus tip: Don’t use straws.
- When we talk about recycling, reusing and reducing, we usually picture a lengthy process of converting a waste to something useful, but guess what? It doesn’t have to be that complicated, donating your old stuff counts as recycling as well. You’ve just become a humanitarian and an environmentalist!
- Walk & pick a public transportation. Maybe it’s time to get fit & help the environment. Not only will this reduce gas emission, but it will also save you money. This may not be applicable everywhere right now, but it will be once public transport projects are executed & roads get over populated.
- Can’t leave your car? Here are tips to make your car more eco-friendly:
- Get a trash bin for your car, it will minimize clutter in your car. Let’s be honest, most of us are guilty of throwing out waste out of our car.
- Keep your tires well maintained by keeping them at the right pressure and rotating them regularly.
- Perform a regular tune-up.
- Remove extra weight. The more your car weighs, the more fuel it uses.
- How about carpool to work.
