Real effective actions to combat the environmental crisis

As featured on Sloto Magazine

The fact is indisputable; our planet is in trouble. In early 2019, the UN released two condemning reports that surveyed vast amounts of scientific literature to confirm what we already suspected: human actions are affecting the climate and are destroying the biosphere.

The first report, from March this year, says we have 11 years to save the planet, and the second, from May, indicates that one million animal species are threatened with extinction. It is time for us to take action against the impending catastrophe. Here are some simple but effective actions that can contribute to a better world.

• Stop upgrading your mobile phone too often
  
  Manufacturing a phone generates 16 kg of emissions, not counting the power it consumes while you use it. Furthermore, the raw materials to make the phone are precious: copper, lead, gold, silver, palladium, as well as glass and plastic. Hold on to your phone as long as you can to save on emissions and extensive consumption of natural resources.
  
  
• Eat locally and less meat, if possible
  
  Food production takes a huge toll on the environment. From pesticides to transportation of goods, from packaging to food waste, from deforestation for livestock farming to water scarcity due to water use for livestock’s food production (corn, maize, etc.): here we have an industry that needs reformation. The easiest way you can contribute to the optimization of food production is to eat locally. Buy from your local providers and from your region, and also try to cut down on meat. Studies have shown that livestock production is one of the most destructive forces driving climate change. Be part of the change – the positive change!
  
  
• Recycle, recycle, recycle
  
  Everyday nearly 8 million pieces of plastic find their way into our oceans. Plastic is one of the most resilient materials created by humans.  Did you know it takes 450 years for a single plastic bottle to decompose? For this reason we need to start recycling as much of our trash as possible. Find your local recycling center and divide your trash in different containers so you can deliver it regularly to the center. Also, avoid plastic in supermarkets and other stores: always carry your own shopping bag and say no to straws and one-time-use plastic cups. Your contribution will make a difference in the long term!

If you want to contribute further by donating to charities that are dedicated to protecting the earth and its environment, we can recommend the following organizations below.

The Global Footprint Network has obtained an impressive number of international awards for their work. Their mission is to help companies, governments and individuals make wiser, more sustainable ecological decisions.

Founded in 1969, the mission of the International Fund for Animal Welfare has been to protect the natural habitat of animals and prevent their extinction. IFAW engages in wildlife protection programs in 40 countries.
 
The Earth Day Network is the world’s largest environmental movement. They are the main organization behind Earth Day, but also engage in many other projects that raise awareness on climate change, fight deforestation and poverty, and educate the population in sustainable living.
