Cool Ideas for Earth Day

Hello peeps! 

Its Earth Day today. 
I don't know why we have to set aside a particular day to celebrate as Earth Day but my guess is that we need a reminder of the damage we have already done and continue to inflict upon this beautiful planet we call home. Hopefully we act more mindfully in the rest of the days of the year as well. 

It may be worthwhile to take a minute and think about how you can contribute to environmental protection.

For some inspiration here are some cool ideas that I particularly like and will definitely implement in the coming year.

1. Re-purpose and recycle the waste

 50 things you can recycle

2. Sort the waste into organic, recyclable and non-recyclable material more diligently 

In a lot of residential complexes in Bangalore it is already a norm. If you are not a part of this initiative please check out the following website

3. Regrowing from the kitchen scraps

25 Foods You Can Re-Grow Yourself from Kitchen Scraps 

Introduce plant science to kids by regrowing vegetables indoors! What a fun idea.

4. Carry your own shopping bag and avoid using the plastic bags as far as possible

You can even make your own

5. Avoid littering - I don't litter myself but it needs emphasising
Please don't treat this planet like a giant dustbin. It's a space we are renting with millions of other species and fellow human beings. It's not our property to treat it as we like. Please please please don't litter!

What are some of the things you plan to do? I would love to know and possibly bring them to practise myself.
