Earth day: Sustainability is the future of the planet and humankind.

The earth is overburdened with the needs and wants of humankind. We are rapidly depleting the Earth of its resources and slowly pushing it to the brink of human existential crisis. The destruction of Earth is to erase the trace of living things from the face of this planet. Our communities have realized this and are slowly trying to slow/stop this environmental damage. We are aware of what climate change is doing to our planet, the icebergs are melting rapidly. The earth will be underwater if the ice glaciers melt. Industrialization, modernization, and globalization have put a huge impact on the environment and we as responsible people should take a step and save this planet from impacts caused by human disregard.

There are small changes that we can bring in our daily lives to contribute to these sustainable development goals set by the UN. Being sustainable with our lifestyle can seem to be tedious but the end result of these small choices makes a massive impact on our environment. Here are a few changes to start your sustainable living journey.
