Earth Day is approaching!
On 22 April, we celebrate saving the planet, but we know that we must work hard every day to protect the environment.
We are therefore revealing five very simple tips that can make all the difference!
Less consumption, more saving
Every appliance left on standby consumes more than we imagine. By turning off all devices and using energy-efficient light bulbs you are helping the environment while also saving money on your bill!
Recycle and reuse!
Sorting your recycling costs nothing and helps reduce our environmental impact. Also try to consume as little plastic as possible and opt for long-lasting products rather than disposable ones. Why not shop at vintage stores, for example? You will have a distinctive and eco-friendly style!
Water is a precious commodity!
Use it sparingly and without wasting it: for example, after washing vegetables, recycle it by watering plants and flowers.
Choose natural products
Use eco-friendly products for personal hygiene and household cleaning: this avoids polluting groundwater with chemical additives found in normal detergents. Have you ever tried using vinegar? It is an excellent and very affordable solution for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces. Also try to reduce your washing machine use and to hand-wash synthetic garments, which release unfilterable microplastics into the water.
Zero-km shopping
Buy fruit and vegetables that are in season from local producers: they are healthier, much tastier, and you reduce the environmental impact from transportation. Limit your consumption of meat and fish and most importantly... don’t throw away leftover food! There are numerous recovery recipes to experiment with!
We at Pomì would like to suggest a few. Join the Recovery Week Times team and contribute to the project by creating your own recovery dinner. Small gestures can make all the difference in the fight against food waste!
