3 Tips for Implementing an Eco-Friendly Lifestyle from Home a la Miss Earth Indonesia
Liputan6.com -
Google Translate: The title of Miss Earth Indonesia that is carried by Monica Fransisca Khonado contains a big responsibility. One of them is advocating the community about the concept of sustainability. It can not be separated from the environmentally friendly lifestyle.
"Sustainable living means an environmentally friendly life," said Monica, in the Public-Private Waste Management Partnership Opportunity Webinar, Wednesday, August 4, 2021.
An environmentally friendly lifestyle, he continued, can really start from the smallest community unit, namely the family at home. He said there are at least three ways that can be applied.
The first is to save electricity and clean water. "Saving the use of electricity and clean water is a simple thing that is usually done. It's a simple thing but has a big impact on our Earth," he said.
Savings can be made as simple as turning off the lights when not in use. Not only has a positive impact on the environment, the monthly costs incurred can also be saved.
The second way is to replant vegetables that have been used. The ends of the vegetables that we usually throw away, can still be used by soaking them in a glass of water. By replanting, besides helping to manage waste, it can also save raw materials.
"It's like something that spins around. We can reuse, return, and return. Instead of throwing away the ends of the vegetable, it actually becomes garbage, it turns out we can reuse it," he said.
Extend Life Cycle
The third simple way is to sort the garbage. This sorting is done according to the type of waste. Sorting at home is the key to a successful circular economy.
The community, he continued, had been facilitated in various ways. One of them is through the presence of a waste bank. By sorting waste, the number of products that can be reused or used for new products increases. On the other hand, the amount of waste that accumulates in the TPA can be reduced.
"If we can't recycle ourselves, we can take it to a waste bank or recycling center," she said.
