Global warming has gone from being a concept to a nightmare. With increasingly serious environmental problems, one thing has become clear and that is that if we want our environment to survive, we need to make some important changes and fast. As technology develops, governments are aiming at making things better for people by including digitisation and converting towns into cities. An increasing number of industries are being set up to meet up with people's demands. But has anyone stopped and wondered what all of this is doing to the environment? Not only is it causing immensely huge amounts of pollution but it has even managed to make global warming even worse. So, if you could in any way contribute to making the environment better, wouldn't you do it? One easy way to begin is to opt for eco-friendly alternatives.



Yes, instead of opting for plastics and products that could harm the environment, try and opt for products that can work as alternatives. This way, you'll be able to fulfil your needs while also ensuring that the environment stays clean from pollution. Take a look at some alternative products you can use:



- Plastic bags with carry bags: While our government has long imposed a ban on plastic bags, most people still tend to use them. Try and keep a biodegradable carry bag with you instead like the ones made of cloth. These work the same way and will help curb pollution in the environment.



- Water bottles with containers: The water bottles that you buy from outside have some serious potential to make the environment dirty. Use handmade clay bottles instead. They'll also keep your water cool.



- Cutlery: Most of you are already aware that in many South Indian cultures the people use banana leaves instead of plates. So, why not take that idea a step further and opt for biodegradable cutlery too. You could buy cutlery that is made of wood or bamboo so you can even use it multiple times.



- Tissues with wipes: Most tissues are made by cutting down trees and that can lead to a serious case of deforestation. Try to use biodegradable wipes instead because they'll work just as well as tissues and even happen to be scent-free and free from chemicals.



- Normal paper with recycled paper: The paper that you normally use can't really be recycled appropriately. So, try to use paper that can be recycled instead as it can help save energy, water and even space required for landfills.



Start using at least some of the tips mentioned above and you'll see just how much of a difference it can make. Before you know it, we'll once again have a clean and sustainable environment. Stay tuned for more updates.
