Even if we stick to a basic skincare routine, several products available in the market are laden with suspicious ingredients and often, the packaging isn’t recyclable. While skincare is an integral part of our daily life, ensuring you stick to products that anchor on the clean beauty philosophy and use ingredients that are safe for humans and the environment even on prolonged use. (Pavel Danilyuk)

2. Choose eco-friendly commute options - Rising fuel prices alongside the catastrophic environmental pollution that vehicle emissions give cause, opting for sustainable, eco-friendly commute, i.e., EVs, is the ideal solution. Although the Indian EV market is still at a nascent stage, EVs are quickly becoming a popular option among consumers looking to make a conscious choice to avoid vehicle pollution. However, since the EV market is just beginning to grow, there are infrastructure challenges. (Uriel Mont)

3. Try to cut down on plastic usage - As we mentioned before, the smallest things go a long way. For example, an estimated 414 million plastic waste items were found in the Indian Ocean by scientists. These items, especially single-use plastics, plastic cutlery, bottles that aren’t recycled, etc., end up either in the landfill or in the ocean, where they harm marine life. Taking small yet significant steps like bringing your own cloth-based or jute shopping bags, carrying stainless steel straws and cutlery, (File Photo)

4. Try home composting/home gardening - Create your own home garden for better surroundings, and instead of using the pesticide, try home composting for vegetable waste and food leftovers which can provide organic nutrients to the plants and vegetables like vegetable peels, tea, coffee and many more. (Photo by CDC on Unsplash)

5. Replace kitchen plastic with glass/steel - The plastic problem is a lingering one that the world is now trying to tackle and with simple measures that begin at home, we can minimise plastic pollution, one item at a time. Our kitchens have some kind of plastic items like water bottles, containers and disposable plastic items. We should replace these kitchen plastic items with glass, steel and wooden counterparts like glass bottles, steel containers and disposable wooden items. With these steps, we can start our journey to become environment friendly and preserve nature for future generations. Remember, there is no Planet B! (Dayvison de Oliveira Silva)
