It is a reality that we are immersed in a major environmental crisis caused by, among other factors, a progressive degradation of the environment, an excessive exploitation of natural resources, an unsustainable consumption and a long etcetera caused by the human being and which is growing immeasurably at the over the years.
Just as the problems have been caused by people, the solution is also in the people’s hands. For this reason, we must begin to raise awareness among the population in general and from a very young age so that they grow up with the appropriate internalized guidelines not only of recycling but of respect for our planet.
Therefore, considering that recycling is one of the most important steps to stop this environmental crisis, we should start to lead a way of life:
- Saving natural resources ⭢ the planet has limited resources
- Saving energy ⭢ we save natural resources and produce less pollution
- Produce less pollution ⭢ avoid activities that pollute using public transport, organic products…
- Protect animals ⭢ pruning, foundries, waste, … degenerate and pollute the ecosystems of which animals are part
- Help communities ⭢ produce less waste, reuse…
Apart from these tips, the most generalized and that we can all carry out without any inconvenience is the classification of our waste, having several containers at home to separate the trash by color: yellow (containers), green (crystal), brown (organic ), blue (paper and cardboard), dark green or gray (rest) and some specific colors not so common in the general public like the red of hazardous waste.
