The environment is a topic that we need to be more aware of and committed to. We all want to make the world a better place. As individuals, each needs to take care of our environment, but it can’t stop there. It’s even more powerful when we work together as a community and do something good for everyone!
In this blog post, we’ll be discussing 5 things your community can do to take care of the environment.
5 Tips To Make Your Community Environmentally Friendly
Neighbourhood Cleanups
Is your community dedicated to making its neighbourhood more pleasant and beautiful? Then, you should combine forces and hire a dumpster for a weekend of neighbourhood cleanup activities, such as ridding the whole area of unused and worn sheds, trash, and weeds.
Separating Garbage
Did you know that when we put all of our recyclable items together in the same bin, it contaminates other materials? So, to avoid this from happening and help your recycling efforts be more efficient, separate each item in your home.
All the community can do this by installing public garbage cans that let you separate your trash so that whenever you go for a walk and need to throw away any trash, you can do it responsibly and continue with your recycling efforts.
Avoid Burning Leaves
Burning leaves can be extremely bad for the environment because it emits toxins into the air. Avoiding burning leaves in your garden will have a great impact on the environment. You can inform your neighbours about this issue and how it will impact the environment.
Provide them with solutions such as instead composting the leaves since they are a great source of nutrients for your garden, or you can put them in the yard waste bins provided by many cities’ trash departments.
Avoid Throwing Out Dangerous Chemicals
When you introduce any chemicals in the environment, it can be very harmful to your health and pollute our lakes and rivers. When we throw away these dangerous materials such as insecticides or weed killers, they contaminate water sources when they seep through landfills.
This will have a great impact on animals that depend on them to survive.
So, it’s crucial to warn your community about this issue so that you can switch these dangerous chemicals to environmentally friendly options.
Volunteer (Or Create) An Environmental Organization
Is your community interested in making a change? Then, they should create an environmental organization where everyone can participate. You might have heard of organizations that focus on taking care of the environment.
These organizations can have different activities such as talks, planting different plants, and more. Engage your community to participate in some of these activities!
