A thought-provoking question from Rory;
How about you?
I am curious to know …… Have you earned your place on this planet yet and if so how?”
“I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.”
Helen Keller
I believe that we all can do whatever is in our power to put things right on this planet of ours. Both environmentally and consumption wise, we need to be careful about our resources. Even turning off the tap in between soaping and washing helps save this planet’s resources.
I do what I can. Walking when the car is not necessary, turning off extra lights and fan when not needed, and switching off air conditioning and heaters are some of the ways I try to conserve energy.
I try to reduce waste and reuse things whenever I can. Not using aerosols is also very important. I get the car regularly checked up to prevent excessive exhaust emissions.
I also advise people around me to conserve water and energy.
I am trying to live a minimalist lifestyle and hope that it will do some good for the planet.
We don’t need to do great things to help save our planet. Each little deed and thought helps!
Are you doing your bit?

You’re right. Every tiny act matters too. I loved that quote. That last part got to me. It’s amazing, isn’t it? How much the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker can matter!

Yes, exactly. If we all did what we can, things WILL improve. We often wait for the government to take action, why not do something ourself?

We do our recycling and try to cut electricity and water usage. And this pandemic has been great for cutting out extra car trips we don’t need. This was well written Sadje!
