Amir Bhat 4/30/2022 11:26 AMUpcycling is a form of recycling where you are turning trash into a new one. Instead of throwing things in a garbage bin that will end up in a landfill, why don’t you repurpose them? A tin can will turn into a flower pot or a pencil holder. Old shirts can be a shopping bag, bottles can be a home decoration, and newspapers can be an art project . There are many things to be upcycled, so you have to be creative. -
Amir Bhat 4/28/2022 2:22 PMIt is time to part our ways from planet harming activities as for all generation to live a healthier life, it is important to save our planet. -
Amir Bhat 4/28/2022 9:36 AMWhether you are shopping for food, clothes or books, use a reusable bag. -
Amir Bhat 4/27/2022 10:39 AMWe would not be alive if it weren't for the earth. Humans gain enormously from the earth's health benefits. The most vital thing that earth provides for survival is oxygen. Earth controls the complete cycle of breathing of all living beings. The oxygen we breathe comes from trees, and the carbon dioxide we exhale is absorbed by them. -
Amir Bhat 4/25/2022 3:13 PMWe can save earth by reusing, reducing and recycling waste. It is the main action of people for saving earth because the land of the earth is filled with wastes leaving it a dumping site. Many diseases are transmitted through the unmanaged waste. -
Amir Bhat 4/24/2022 12:34 PMTo save Earth, we all have to come up together to make a difference. One person can not make up the difference, but we all together can do the miracle. We have to take care of small things in our daily routines, such as switching off the lights when not in need, closing the tap and using the water properly, and avoiding the use of plastic and non-biodegradable material at home. We should focus on solar and renewable sources of energy such as solar heaters and panels. Take out the private vehicle or car only when required and prefer using the public transport. -
Amir Bhat 4/24/2022 9:01 AMFirst of all, planting trees should be given massive attention. Above all, a tree is the source of oxygen. Unfortunately, due to construction, many trees have been cut down. This certainly reduces the amount of oxygen in the environment. Growing more trees means more oxygen. Hence, growing more trees would mean better life quality. -
Amir Bhat 4/23/2022 4:58 AMBeing more mindful about how much you purchase at the grocery store can cut down on a lot of waste. And at home, think about what you can freeze or how leftovers can be transformed into other dishes. -
Amir Bhat 4/21/2022 2:25 PMAn increase in water consumption has an impact on nature. Its effect is evident on wetlands, plantations, biodiversity, and others that may affect human livelihood. To conserve water, you have to stop wasting it. Avoid leaving the water running while taking a bath or brushing your teeth. Use a broom in cleaning areas at home and not the water hose. You can also use a pale and sponge to clean your car. -
Amir Bhat 4/19/2022 3:23 PMResource depletion refers to the exhaustion of raw material in an area or region.
