Green living has become a global trend to protect the environment. Maintaining a green lifestyle not only protects the environment but also creates healthy habits, helping to ensure physical and mental health for everyone. More and more people are interested in environmental issues and green lifestyles. Let’s do the simplest things below:
- Use electric vehicles.
The environment is suffering too much “damage” from the large amount of CO2 released into the environment. That is the reason why there are currently many companies researching to produce electric vehicles such as bicycles, motorbikes, or cars to help reduce CO2 emissions. For example, SM Green Taxi Service or SM Bike Green transportation service officially operates from August 14, 2023, in the capital Hanoi Vietnam. Vin fast has also developed electric buses and public transportation, contributing to reducing CO2 emissions.
- Reduce plastic waste.
The decomposition time of plastic products is about 100 – 500 years. However, because of convenience, people have been accustomed to using products made from plastic for many years, causing the Earth to face heavy plastic pollution. Replacing plastic products, especially single-use plastic products, is extremely necessary. Environmentally friendly materials such as wood, bamboo, etc. help people live a healthy green lifestyle while protecting their health and safety. Replace single-use plastic straws with metal straws or bamboo straws. Replace single-use plastic spoons with disposable wooden spoons. Instead of using pre-packaged water bottles, you can use personal water bottles. Each of us joining hands to reduce the use of a few plastic cups, plastic straws… or single-use plastic products is contributing to protecting the green environment.
- Limit household waste
A huge amount of household waste is invading the Earth, causing many species to lose their natural habitat. One of the simplest things you can do to limit waste is to classify waste and follow the principle of “Reduce – Reuse – Recycle”. Biodegradable products will be classified as organic waste and used as fertilizer. Recycling products that can be reused many times limit the use of canned foods and eliminate single-use plastic items.
- Plant more trees in the living environment.
Trees are considered the “lungs” of the Earth. Trees absorb CO2 and release O2 necessary for human respiration. Living in a space with lots of green trees not only helps clean the air in the house, eliminates pollution caused by dust and cigarette smoke, but also helps people become more comfortable.
