A cordial greeting to all our friends, we are very happy because today we can share with you a new publication to talk about an extremely important topic that affects us all, keeping the best of attitudes today we want to talk about some things we can do and that in my house we do to protect as much as we can the environment.
The theme for today is: Changes that are good for the environment.
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing our planet today and it affects us all, because there are serious problems in the environment that harm us too. In fact, it affects all forms of life, from the way we live to the food we eat to the air we breathe. While it may seem like too big a problem for individual people to do anything about, the truth is that every little action counts and we can all do our part to help reduce our impact on the environment.
Save energy at home
Energy consumption in the home is another major source of harm to the environment. Many of the actions we take at home, such as turning on the lights, using appliances or heating the house, require energy and contribute to our impact on the environment, tell me if all of these things are on at the same time. Here in Venezuela electricity is one of the few economical things, that could make us use it unnecessarily, but in our house we try not to use it unnecessarily and not to use many electrical appliances at the same time.
At home we have several appliances but of them The only one that needs is to be constantly connected to the refrigerator, thinking about this as we had two refrigerators we decided to give one to a person who needed it, so we avoid the high energy consumption at home, two refrigerators was unnecessary and consumed a lot of energy, with one is more than enough.
Saving energy at home is an effective way to reduce our impact on the environment. We can start by turning off lights and appliances when we are not using them, and opt for energy efficient appliances that use as little energy as possible. We can also use energy efficient light bulbs, here at home we use those and they work very well, in fact they are long lasting.
Reduce food waste
Food waste is another important problem related to climate change. When we waste food, we also waste the natural resources that were used to produce it, such as water, land and energy. Not to mention that we are a little inconsiderate of people around the world who are going hungry.
Reducing food waste is an effective way to reduce our impact on the environment. We can start by planning our food purchases and cooking only what we need. We can also opt for products that are sold without plastic packaging or use leftover food in good condition to prepare new meals.
During the crisis in Venezuela and then during the pandemic, in our house we learned many things about not wasting food, for a long time as we had no problems to get food, sometimes we had the luxury of allowing food to spoil and then we just threw it away in the trash, but after going through such a difficult situation, we had to learn first to yield the food and second to cook only what was necessary so that nothing was lost.
Now we can buy food thank God, but now we are a little more conscious in that aspect and we know that this contributes in a positive way to our environment, making this kind of effort not to cause more damage than what is already done can be difficult, especially because we are not used to it. But it's all a matter of getting used to it, we can make small adjustments in our way of doing things and little by little we will get used to it and then it will come naturally to avoid certain skills in order not to harm the environment.
