The commitment to caring for the planet grows within all of us, and it is increasingly evident that all our decisions and actions have a direct impact on our environment.
Adopting the 3Rs—reduce, reuse, and recycle—in our daily lives can help us be part of the solution in environmental protection efforts. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), this would help us conserve energy, reduce polluting emissions, and reuse existing resources to eliminate the amount of waste we generate.
With the support of the authorities, we can incentivize the adoption of these actions through a socioeconomic model, allowing us to reduce the impact of our footprint, as is the case with the circular economy.
Join us in protecting our future through simple actions!
To reduce
Less time, little water: When you bathe, you use around 6 liters per minute, according to the University of
Stanford. So reduce the amount of time you leave the faucet running. For even greater savings, apply the same approach when brushing your teeth and watering the garden, for example.
Reduce your car usage: Avoid using the car on short trips. Walk, bike, or use public transportation to reduce emissions.
greenhouse gases. This is an environmentally beneficial action, as endorsed and documented by the Florida Department of Air Resources Management, United States.
Reusa!
Get creative with empty containers: Transform empty PET bottles. Just look for a tutorial on video platforms to
Turn them into piggy banks, pencil cases, stamps, jewelry, and even flower vases. Give some waste a second purpose so it doesn't end up in landfills.
Create compost: Reusing organic waste into compost is one of the ways we can reuse a type of waste, creating a fertilizer and thus reducing the amount of green space in our environment.
Did you know that 38% of urban waste in Mexico is organic? That's about 18,240,000 tons per year.
Strengthens recycling
Separate the garbage: When you dispose of your waste, do not forget to separate it and place the recyclable materials in the appropriate container, so
so that those who collect them can deliver them to recycling plants, such as PetStar.
If we all apply some of these simple actions to our daily lives, we can reduce the negative impact on the environment and be part of the future solution.
