I am Aley Kurian hailing from India. I have been working as a content writer since the past few years.

Leading an eco-friendly life is possible for every human being by following a few simple guidelines. Adopt a practice of buying organic food whenever feasible. Farmers, who inculcate organic cultivation, rarely contaminate the earth and air with herbicides, pesticides and other fertilizers. Make a practice of composting the kitchen waste and this will serve an apt medium for growing fruits, veggies and flowers. Killing our domestic animals for food is extremely cruel and barbaric. You are also wasting your earthly resources by killing them because the land they graze is made very fertile by the cow dung. Buying foods loose can save unwanted packing. Always use reusable and refillable containers over the throwaway and disposable ones. If you are fond of coffee, use a reusable filter. Say no to hot water thermostat and make a preference for solar heaters. Turn off heating in winter and wear sufficient warm clothes. Save energy by turning off TVs’ and lights when the user is not around. Make a practice of using energy-efficient bulbs. Installing thick insulation can lower the heating bills.

What is green living?

The concept of green living demonstrates the usage of those things that can help preserve the environment and which can be viable for the future generation. Make a note of a few simple steps that can render your life greener. The process denotes a three staged process consisting of reducing, reusing and finally recycling. Reduce usage of disposables or regular towels. Another recommendation for the purpose of reduction is to buy concentrated products because they arrive in small packages. People are in the habit of expelling the recyclables in bins and they forget the reusing stage. Hence it is very important to think twice before throwing away anything. For the purpose of recycle, you should place a recycle bin in your yard and you can do the stuff on your own. Set up compost piles in your garden, instead of employing potting soil, and make your soil rich in content. Use products like shredded bags, made of plastic, to mulch the garden. Using your creativity, there are lots of recycles that can be done which would be very beneficial in promoting the concept of green living. The world might not change. But each of you can individually start the trend and teach the concept to your children.

Linens and clothes which are old and torn can be used as cleaning rags. Make a cut on using your car and adopt walking which can render you fit and save money. Deadly fuels that contaminate the atmosphere can be lowered. When you go shopping, say a stern no to plastic bags and use baskets or shopping bags instead. Usage of rechargeable battery is recommended since ordinary ones possess heavy metals which can contaminate soil, water, and even the air if burnt. Plant as many trees as possible in your garden since they clean the carbon dioxide from air. Employ eco-friendly washing detergents and products for daily use. Use can also make an eco-friendly cleaning lotion from the recipes available in net.
