GreenLiving is a lifestyle choice that requires time and dedication to sustain. Five common elements that can hinder a green lifestyle include:
1) Remember to always recycle: Recycling is one of the easiest ways to "go green" but choosing selectively recycle or to recycle only when convenient is not the best green choice. Remeber to recycle not just at home, but at social gatherings, parties, vacations, and elsewhere.
2) Choose to pick up waste: Walking over trash, waste, or debris and not collecting it to throw away can cause everlasting damage on the local environment. Try to pick up solid debris, such as old newspapers,and dispose properly when possible.
3) Turn off the tap: Water is a precious resource. Letting the tap run when brushing teeth, washing dishes, or cleaning is not eco-friendly: even if just for a few minutes. Keep water use low whenever possible.
4) Care for plants and flowers: Plants and flowers are natural air purifiers and can be the perfect addition to any apartment or home. Buying a plant and leaving it to its own devices is damaging to the environment and only causes more waste.
5) Never liter: Dumping just one piece of trash or debris outside can cause damage to plants and waterways. Try to dispose of trash in appropriate, designated containers and NEVER throw glass bottles into trash or recycling bins- it could break and ruin the bin.
