In all seriousness, it’s wonderful that we have the resources to venture out into the world during the Covid epidemic. Masks, social distancing, and sheltering at home are all options that work toward the common goal of safety. Even so, it’s important that we take responsibility for the changes created in our lifestyles.
Now, more than ever, there has been an increase in plastics being used for delivery packaging and takeout orders. Many of the safety and medical precautions use plastics too, which include sanitizing bottles, gloves, medical suits, and even disposable masks. As a result, our fight to save humanity has caused our eyes to shift away from aiding the battle to protect planet earth.
Though finding a perfect solution to the plastic problem is a stretch, there are many small ways in which we can help slow or prevent the rising environmental issues. Here are some simple ideas we can all do to make a difference:
An obvious, but often neglected action to prevent pollution, is to make sure your trash and recycling ends up in the proper receptacles. In a world concerned with the power of germs, many extra efforts to pick up waste have halted. That’s why making sure your garbage is disposed of properly is so much more important during these times.
Do you have the option to use alternative and reusable resources? This is the perfect time to analyze your lifestyle. Instead of paper plates, try adding a little elbow grease into doing a few extra dishes. How about sandwich bags? Many alternative options are on the market which allow you to make the purchase once, allowing you to save money while preventing further buildup of trash. Any additional effort counts in the big picture.
Following that same line of thought, we can approach our protection in the same manner. Reusable masks are an incredible way to stay safe, save money, and prevent the landfills and oceans from overflowing. To wash them, all you have to do is choose a neutral detergent, work the suds in with your fingers, and rinse thoroughly. Rather than using machines or energy to dry, you can pat it down with a towel to absorb the moisture and hang the mask indoors. Poof! Who knew you didn’t need a genie to keep yourself heathy and to do your part to make the world a cleaner place?
