Eco New Year’s resolutions, or how to get closer to the planet in 2022!

Yes! Let’s make responsible eco New Year’s resolutions! They don’t actually have to be New Year’s Eve, we all know how it is with them. Let’s start today!

As part of mutual support in responsible elections, I have compiled a list of a few steps that will help us be greener in the new year.

How to live 2022 more ecologically? Eco New Year’s resolutions – make minor changes!

I give up disposables!

Look, it really doesn’t get any easier. Each of us goes shopping and that will not change. This, but what we can do is use the bags that each of us has at home. the use of disposables are a real catastrophe for the planet. A plastic bag that will be used for a maximum of an hour, it can also decompose up to 1000 years … 1000 years! This definitely not worth moving your purchases from A to B. Open the locker in home and take the bag with you. Make it the first point on your Eco New Years Eve list provisions.

I will bet on more exercise

As we know, exercise is health. It turns out, however, that the movement is also about supporting Mother Earth. Leaving the car at home and changing to a bike, scooter or simply by choosing to take a walk, minimize air pollution and gives us  a chance to be in better shape for summer! Of course, this is not always possible, but it is not worth rejecting those moments when you can do it. On the internet map you can check what cycling routes are around where you live. You may find it easier to get to work by bike than to look for a parking space in the city center.

I will buy a reusable bottle

What can I say, according to data from 2020, each Pole uses an average of 160 kilograms plastic per year. That’s a lot, isn’t it? We will also think that many Poles also drink from about one and a half to 3 liters of water a day. Much of this water comes from plastic bottles. Let’s think if each of these people would use multiracial filter bottles how much plastic production could be saved?

I will sort waste

Currently, it is the duty of every citizen of our country, but our mentality is sometimes teasing. In this case, it is not worth being contradictory. Waste segregation is one of the basic methods of caring for the environment. Thanks to segregation, recycling is possible, i.e. recovery of raw materials from waste. Unfortunately, we are still at the point where we barely around 10% of waste is recycled and almost 1/3 goes to the oceans for recycling pollute the environment and harm animals. We can contribute to minimize such phenomena!

I will save water

It is said that water will eventually become a scarce commodity. Can you imagine it? That’s why it’s so important not to waste it thoughtlessly. We need water more than anything else to live, but when we have an excess of it, we don’t think about whether it is worth saving. The hint is – it’s worth it. How to save water? Turn off the tap while it is in progress showering, brushing teeth or dishes. If you can, use the dishwasher and economy mode washing. You can also replace your tub bath with a quick shower.

I will think before I buy

It is primarily about well-thought-out purchasing decisions. Let’s set ourselves a New Year’s eco decision not to be fooled by big SALE caption, -50% and other marketing gimmicks that will convince us to buy things that we do not need. It’s worth making yourself a list of things that we really need. If we stick to it, we will not allow ourselves to shop unnecessary things that will dust in the corner.

I’ll think over  before I throw it away

Before throwing something away, it is worth considering whether  can be used  in some other way or whether this thing will not be useful to someone else. Let us remember that there are many people in need around the world, perhaps they will be more than happy  with what we no longer need. On social networks, there will be groups for the exchange of various things. The easiest ways to support our planet are ahead of you. Daily activities that do not require superhuman abilities from us!

Realize at least some of them, and eco New Year’s Eve. Resolutions  will be fulfilled.
