Little Things Kill

The little things can add up and they are adding up everyday for most people. It only takes about 20 times to form a new habit and these habits have become daily occurrences in majority of people’s lives. Zion Lights shares the “10 Daily Habits That are Killing the Environment”. Some of the habits are; leaving the lights on, energy is a source that cannot be replaced so if it is not needed, turn your lights off.  Eating mean that is farmed, reduce your intake of meat, which will decrease your carbon footprint significantly, by going vegetarian on different times. The needs for cattle are taking a huge impact on the planet. Many acres of the rainforest are destroyed in order to farm soy crops and grains to feed cattle. Cattle basically living are destroying the planet, overgrazing cattle one reason why there is global soil depletion and a huge contributor to climate pollution. Using and ignoring plastic. Usually when going shopping at any store, you are given a plastic bag to hold your purchases, the bags add up and usually wash up in the ocean. Many products that stores carry are wrapped in plastic, it’s easy to ignore. Wasting water by running the tap while doing the dishes or taking too long of showers wastes a great amount of water. Wasting paper; reduce and reuse as much paper as you can. Even though people believe that recycling is a good choice for the environment but recycling still takes a good amount of energy and wasting energy is harmful too. The hardest habit to break would be flushing the toilet. Every flush just flushes water down the drain and wastes it and wasting is harmful. All these habits can be fixed or altered; any effort will help the planet last a little longer.
