    People may think that climate change is too far advanced for our actions to make a difference. Every action we take, no matter how small, contributes to the larger effort of mitigating climate change. Whether it's reducing our carbon footprint by using public transportation or switching to renewable energy sources, each decision counts. Advocating for policy changes and supporting initiatives that prioritise sustainability can create ripple effects that extend far beyond our immediate sphere of influence.

    Merely tossing your empty food containers into your home recycling bin doesn’t mean you’re already living sustainably, most of the plastic we recycle ends up in the landfills due to several reasons. Hence, we should think of recycling as just a good practice that we can adopt to live sustainably.

    Some practical ways you can minimize your paper consumption:
    1. Print Mindfully:Don’t print unnecessarily: Before hitting that “Print” button, ask yourself if you truly need a hard copy. Opt for digital versions whenever possible.
    2. Double-sided printing: When you do need to print, use both sides of the paper. Adjust your printer settings to enable double-sided printing.
    3. Narrow margins and smaller font: Set your margins narrower and choose a smaller font size to fit more content on each page.

    Ways to reuse plastic bottles for decoration:
    1. Floral springs lights
    Simply cut and paint various shapes of flowers from bottles (with their caps attached) to fit around the string of lights.
    2. Cherry blossom paint stamp
    The bottom of the soda bottle looks just like the five petals of cherry blossom, don’t you think so? Start by drawing a branch using black paint. When it’s dried, you can start to dip and stamp the bottom of the soda bottle on the paper to create a cherry blossom art.
    3. No-sew zipper stationery case
    You will need two 20 oz. soda bottles, a zipper, and hot glue for this stationery case. Cut the bottom of one bottle and the top of another. Use hot glue to glue the zipper to both ends of the cut bottles and connect them together. You can now store your stationery and keep the place mess free.

    How do you give old items a new life?
    1. Ice Cube Trays and Bakeware Drawer Organization:
    Empty out a cluttered kitchen drawer and repurpose an ice cube tray, baking pans, or other containers to organize small items. Spray-paint them to unify the look, and arrange them Tetris-style in the drawer.
    2. Plastic Bottles as Mini Greenhouses:
    Slice the bottoms off plastic bottles to create mini greenhouses for starting seeds indoors. These see-through incubators help keep soil moist and protect seedlings from drafts.
