There is concrete data to prove it, such as the fact that the average global <a href=\"https:\/\/es.greenpeace.org\/es\/trabajamos-en\/cambio-climatico\/\">temperature has increased by 1.1\u00b0 since pre-industrial times or that sea levels have risen by 5 mm per year in the five-year period from 2014-2019<\/a>. If we do not drastically cut down on our dependence on fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions, the consequences could be devastating.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is always a more sustainable and efficient way to go about our daily lives, from first thing in the morning until we go to bed, we can live a more eco-friendly life. How? Here are a few ideas:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Goodbye plastic<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It may seem like it is really difficult to live<a href=\"https:\/\/vivirsinplastico.com\/\"> a plastic-free life<\/a> as there are many products that use this material. When you go shopping you can see that there are an increasing number of products that use recycled and recyclable packaging and we encourage you to choose this type of product over those with plastic packaging.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Forget about <strong>plastic bottles<\/strong> too, there are <strong>alternatives <\/strong>such as aluminium or glass bottles that can be reused, thereby cutting down on the consumption of this material.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When you go shopping for vegetables and fruit, why take a plastic bag when you can take a reusable cloth bag? It is these small gestures that will make your lifestyle more <strong>environmentally friendly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Buy local, proximity products<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cerdanyaecoresort.com\/productos-de-proximidad\/#:~:text=Comprar%20y%20consumir%20productos%20de,al%20alcance%20de%20casi%20todos.\">Proximity products<\/a> are those grown within a radius of no more than 100 kilometres from the point of <strong>production<\/strong> to the point of <strong>consumption<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When it comes to choosing a product, we should take into account different factors such as where it comes from or how it has been produced.\u00a0Shopping local will not only cut down on the ecological footprint of products, it will also help the local economy and improve the lives of farmers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For example, buying a banana from Costa Rica and transporting it to Spain to be consumed entails a significant environmental impact that could be avoided by consuming seasonal and local produce.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u201cZero Waste\u201d Movement<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoblognonoa.com\/que-es-el-zero-waste-residuo-cero\/#:~:text=Qu%C3%A9%20es%20el%20Zero%20Waste%20(Residuo%20Cero)&amp;text=Zero%20Waste%20traducido%20al%20espa%C3%B1ol,la%20basura%20que%20generamos%20cotidianamente.&amp;text=Movimiento%20que%20a%20d%C3%ADa%20de,personas%20en%20todo%20el%20mundo.\">Zero Waste<\/a> movement aims to reduce, as much as possible, the waste and rubbish we generate on a daily basis. In this way, we not only reduce our footprint, it allows us to live with fewer material elements and lead a life that is richer in moments and experiences.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Practice the \u201c3 Rs\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.responsabilidadsocial.net\/3r-la-regla-de-las-tres-erres-reducir-reciclar-y-reutilizar\/\">Reduce, reuse and recycle<\/a>\u00a0 are the three most important Rs of ecology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before buying a new product, consider whether you really need it or not. If you do, try to make it as ecofriendly as possible, one that has been produced with the needs of the environment in mind. If we reduce our consumption, we can reduce waste generation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When you think that the useful life of the product you have bought has come to an end, use your imagination, you may be able to give it a second life before it goes to waste.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Commit to sustainable mobility<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is extremely important to look at the way you move around. Transport is one of the main sources of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and, in turn, global warming.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Think about leaving the car in the garage and using <strong>more sustainable<\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecooltra.com\/es\/\"><strong>shared forms of mobility<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Take energy saving seriously<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The days of <strong>energy<\/strong> production from conventional sources are numbered. As the population will keep on growing, meeting the world&#8217;s energy demand would be unsustainable. Thus, reducing <strong>energy consumption<\/strong> is already doing a lot for the planet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Ecological cleaning<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We are not always aware of how dangerous some of the products we use for cleaning can be. As well as their components, they contain toxic substances that make them difficult to <strong>recycle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are <a href=\"https:\/\/porelclima.es\/equipo\/1929-criterios-para-un-consumo-responsable\">more ecofriendly ways to clean<\/a> our homes, avoiding these types of products. One example is a mixture of vinegar, baking soda and lemon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Sustainable fashion in your wardrobe<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The \u201cthrowaway\u201d phenomenon also reaches the world of fabric which has had a significant impact on the environment as it implies an increase in production, more <strong>resources<\/strong>, more manpower, etc. In short, <strong>a larger ecological footprint<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An <strong>ecofriendly<\/strong> attitude would entail buying <a href=\"https:\/\/luxiders.com\/es\/moda-sostenible-armario\/\">sustainable clothes<\/a> and generating less textile waste.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Every drop counts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most of the planet is made up of water, but only a small part of the entire water supply is fit for\u00a0<strong>human consumption<\/strong>. For this reason, we must make the most of\u00a0<strong>every drop of water<\/strong>\u00a0we use. Turn off taps and showers whenever possible and use the dishwasher correctly (if you have one).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Plant trees<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Trees are oxygen and oxygen is life, so a good tip is to create green spaces around us, from planting flowers and\/or plants at home. This will reduce <strong>pollution<\/strong> and provide us with a number of other <strong>benefits<\/strong>, such as moderating extreme temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What are the benefits of be<\/strong><strong>ing ecofriendly?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Following an eco-friendly lifestyle has benefits for your health, the economy and the environment.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Improved health<\/strong>: Consuming<strong> organic<\/strong> products helps to eat a healthier and more balanced diet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Saving money<\/strong>: Re-using things can be a great way to save money and avoid waste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Being <strong>ecofriendly<\/strong> involves changing simple habits that you can start incorporating into your life today.
