Table and groceries

In many countries, natural resources, in particular drinking water, are in short supply. The world is slowly approaching ecological disaster.

A big problem for the environment is the pollution from the wastes of the population. In order to preserve ecological stability, it is necessary to sort garbage properly and send it for recycling.

The air is polluted because of the exhaust gases of motor vehicles and chemical emissions into the atmosphere (during the operation of factories). At the same time, forests are destroyed, respectively, there are fewer trees that enrich it with oxygen. At the moment, this problem is of high relevance. It is necessary to recycle paper to save forests from being cut down. Polluted air negatively affects human health, so more attention must be paid to creating a favorable climate in all parts of the world.

Poaching has put many species at risk of extinction. Every year, many individuals of endangered species are killed in order to obtain valuable furs and skins. It is necessary to take more effective measures aimed at preventing poaching.

Every person can make his or her own contribution to the protection of the environment. For example, it is very important to send all waste for recycling. Also, it is advisable to install solar panels, which will allow to refuse electric power and, thus, to save resources. The economical use of water will make it possible to provide all corners of the planet with water, which is what the Third World countries need at the moment.

Drink Arabica

According to studies, about 150 species of birds live on plantations of the Arabian coffee tree (the “arabica” variety) growing in the shade. If, on the other hand, coffee trees are grown in full sun, the number of inhabitants is reduced to 20-50 species. Because of the demand for cheap coffee, many producers have switched to growing “sunny” varieties, using more pesticides and fertilizers. You can protect your birds and also reduce your use of chemicals by preferring “arabica.”

Be a vegetarian once a week.

It takes about 10,000 liters of water to produce 500 g of meat: 20 times more than it takes to produce the same weight of potatoes. In addition, animals, like cows, produce huge amounts of methane, the #2 gas on the list responsible for the greenhouse effect.

Buy fish with the MSC certification mark

MSC certifications give benefits to fishermen who operate legally. This certification program itself is designed to recognize sustainable fishing.

Support the domestic manufacturer

Goods from the supermarket have come a long way to get closer to you. To reduce the carbon footprint of all the trucks, ships, and planes that bring goods to your store, buy more local produce. And help the farmers along the way.

Don’t heat up the oven

Cookbooks tell us to preheat the oven. Often this requirement can be ignored. If you’re not baking pies, turn the oven on when you put a dish in it. And excessive oven door manipulation isn’t even good for baked goods-so always judge the degree of readiness through the glass first.

Give up plastic bags

Between 500 million and 1 billion plastic bags are used worldwide every year. There’s no reason not to believe studies that claim small particles of polyethylene in the ocean are already starting to destroy the food chain! When you go shopping, take a canvas bag with you.
