SUSTAINABLE LIVING PRACTICES
Sustainable practices are the processes of services to maintain the qualities that are valued in the physical environment. Living sustainably is about living within the means of natural systems, along with nature (environment) and ensuring that our lifestyle doesn’t harm other people, society, and the whole world. In this respect, sustainable practices relate not only to the issues that happen in the natural world but also it will reflect on other important issues, such as poverty, consumption, community and health.
Sustainable Practices empower everyone to gain knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the environment as that it relates to society. Environmental responsibility is one of the main aspects of sustainable practices. Environment responsibility is the service that aims to understand the duty and opportunities to learn from the environment.
Sustainable Practices should be started from the home itself. Once the practice starts from a small institution like a family, it will gradually flourish to the other wider institutions like schools, society, offices etc.
Sustainability begins at home…
In the home, we can come up with sustainable practices like reusing the possible crafts and other items, avoid paper and plastic spoons, cups etc.., sorting garbage, make laundry products at home, planting a green vegetable garden, avoid the burning of plastics, switch off the lamps after use and save energy by using less energy which helps to reduce carbon emission. At home, we can consider even the Eco-Food package, which is trying to cultivate vegetables in the home garden and prefers to buy locally sourced food and also practices of permaculture. Sustainable living aspects can be also practised in schools, colleges too by recycling, and reusing products, campus greening, ecofriendly green classrooms, nature conservation activities by students.
Corporate Sustainable Ideas…
Sustainable business practices may differ among companies, where the Green Business concept should be implemented. Companies might go to a paperless billing process to showcase a commitment to sustainability, while others might make environmental consideration a part of the criteria for doing business with other companies. Energy reduction, using solar panels, cleaner production processes and reduction of waste are all considered to be sustainable business practices. Sustainable consulting can be practised to incorporate companies and offices to promote sustainable living.
By taking care of the nature around us, we are creating the parameters that influence both our survival and our well-being. We must not consider man on one side and nature on the other. All the existing elements are interdependent.
We Grow Forest Foundation aspires to have a pragmatic influence on the world, so sustainability is the main force of our work. We believe that coming up with sustainable outcomes for current and future generations will make our planet stronger in the long run.
