WALK MORE DAILY
Switching to walking or cycling for more of our shorter journeys helps to protect biodiversity. It creates less noise, less air pollution, and results in fewer emissions that are warming the atmosphere.

Walk More, Drive Less
Adopt to walk instead of driving or taking the public transport as much as possible. It will reduce your carbon footprint, improve your health, save cost at the same time.
Biodiversity + Wildlife
Choose Eco-friendly Products
I will opt to use eco-friendly products.Eco-friendly products do not harm the environment or the ecology during their production, use, or disposal. It is often made of natural products, but care is taken not to harm nature, even if the raw materials are natural. E.g. biodegradable products, bamboo products, reworked clothes

Borrow Before I Buy
Why buy something I will only use once or a few times if someone nearby has it for me to borrow, and why not share something I have that someone may only need a few times a year? To reduce my consumption and waste, I will create or support the sharing economy with friends, family, colleagues or neighbors.

To allocate some time to educate ourselves on and adopt sustainable living practices by reading articles, watching documentaries, or online resources. I will also share my findings with the people around me.

Switch Off/Unplug Unused Electronics
To switch off lights in unoccupied areas of the office, such as meeting rooms. Additionally, to power down computers, printers, and other electronics at the end of each workday. Unplug electronic devices and power strips at the end of the workday to prevent energy usage.

Use a Reusable Water Bottle
Itr's estimated over a billion water bottles are thrown away each year. Even if they were recycled, that still uses energy and resources from the earth. I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
