Planet Earth Without Recycling

If people stop recycling, several negative consequences could occur. Below are a few of them.

Increased waste: Recycling helps reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Without recycling, the amount of waste generated would increase, leading to the need for more landfill sites. This could lead to environmental problems such as pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and depletion of natural resources.
Depletion of natural resources: Recycling reduces the need for extracting and refining raw materials, such as minerals, trees, and oil, which are finite resources. Without recycling, the demand for these resources would increase, leading to their depletion and eventual exhaustion.
Increased energy use: Recycling often requires less energy than producing new products from raw materials. Without recycling, the energy required to extract, transport, and process raw materials would increase, leading to more fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Economic costs: Recycling creates jobs and generates revenue from the sale of recycled materials. Without recycling, these economic benefits would be lost, and the costs of waste disposal would increase, leading to higher taxes and fees for consumers.
Environmental degradation: Landfills are known to produce environmental problems such as pollution, greenhouse gas emissions etc. Without recycling, we would require more landfills, leading to more environmental degradation and public health concerns.

Hence, if people stop recycling, it would have negative impacts on the environment, economy, and society at large. Therefore, it is essential to continue to promote and encourage recycling as a way to reduce waste, conserve resources, and protect the environment. Are you recycling yet?

Green Ways To Celebrate Eid!

Ramadan is a month-long period of fasting, prayer, and reflection observed by millions of Muslims around the world. While celebrating Ramadan, it is important to be mindful of the environment and to adopt eco-friendly practices. Here are some ways to celebrate Ramadan while working towards environment sustainability.

Use eco-friendly decorations: Instead of using disposable decorations, use eco-friendly ones made from sustainable materials. You can use reusable decorations such as lanterns, banners, and tablecloths that can be used year after year. This not only reduces waste but also is easy on the pocket.
Prepare eco-friendly meals: Use organic and locally sourced ingredients for your Iftar meals. Try to reduce food waste by planning your meals in advance and only buying what you need. Also, try to avoid using disposable plates, cups, and cutlery by using reusable ones.
Conserve energy: During Ramadan, it is common to stay up late and wake up early for suhoor and prayers. To conserve energy, turn off lights and electronics when not in use, and use energy-efficient bulbs. You can also reduce your carbon footprint by carpooling or using public transportation to get to the mosque.
Donate to a green cause: Instead of giving traditional gifts, donate to a green cause. This could be a donation to an organization that works for environment sustainability, plant trees, or support renewable energy. This not only helps the environment but also helps those in need.
Use sustainable packaging: When giving gifts or sharing food with friends and family, use sustainable packaging such as reusable containers or wrapping paper made from recycled materials etc. This reduces waste and promotes sustainability.
Practice water conservation: During Ramadan, it is important to stay hydrated, but it is also important to conserve water. Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, take shorter showers, and reuse water when possible.
Recycle: We tend to use extra lighting, decorations and more for iftar and family gatherings during Ramadan. Make sure you recycle those spent lamps, plastic, paper and whatever else you can with us. This way you will contribute towards a greater goal of zero landfill.

In conclusion, celebrating Ramadan in an eco-friendly way is not only good for the environment but also helps us to appreciate and respect the blessings that nature has given us. By making simple changes in our daily habits, we can make a big impact on the environment and create a more sustainable world for future generations. Ramadan Kareen to one and all!

Green Ways To Gift Your Loved Ones!

The world expresses love to their dear ones on February 14th every year. Most of them celebrate it with gifts and/or experiences. We as a responsible recycler understand how our 1-day celebration affects environment for long. Let us share that with you to make sure there is no pollution and just love in the air. Below are some tiny tweaks in your valentine’s day plan to make it even more special and without causing any harm to the environment. Here are some popular gifts exchanged during this lovely time of the year and its consequences.

Flowers

The demand for flowers increases as Valentine’s Day draws near. Most flowers we buy in our local markets are imported from various flower producing countries. A lot of fuel is burned, and pollution is amplified to transport that 1 little rose you want to buy for him/her. A cut flower as a gift may make you happy for a day but it is going to wither after a while. Instead, if you gift a house plant of rose or any other flower, it will remind your loved ones of you every day. This is a much cleaner, greener, and beautiful way of gifting flowers. Don’t you think?

Take away – Gift flowers but as plant.

Cards

These days we get stylized, multipage greeting cards in the market. These cards are plastic laminated, glitter decorated which is not environment friendly at all. Also, a single line you write on your own on a recycled paper is much more valuable to the reader than these store-bought cards.

Take away – Give cards but handmade

Chocolates

We eat chocolates every time of the year. They won’t taste different, if gifted in a ribbon wrapped, plastic quoted, glittery heart shaped box. Instead, make chocolates together at home or gift a nice premium chocolate wrapped in recyclable paper. The extravagant wrapping is going in the waste bin anyway and is just going to increase pollution.

Take away –Avoid extravagant chocolate gift boxes

Fragrances

Most perfume sprays are packed in aerosol bottles. These pressurized cans, if not recycled, release hazardous components in the air. Scented candles, if are not made from natural wax, release harmful chemicals when burning. You do not want to inhale all that and ruin your romantic candlelight dinner. So be alert when buying fragrances for your romantic evening.

Take away – Buy natural fragrances with safe packaging

These are just a few examples. There are many more Valentine’s Day gifting ideas in the market rising around this time of the year. As a responsible human being we urge you to know the price you pay, and the mother Earth pays for the gift you choose. Hence this Valentine’s day, show your love to the environment while showing it to your loved ones. Share it with green heart if you agree and will implement it henceforth. Let there be just love in the air this Valentine’s day!

Top 4 Excuses Used To Avoid Recycling

Not many of us understand the importance of recycling…But instead of digging deeper to find solution, some try to get away with silly excuses. Here are the Top 4 excuses irresponsible people use, to avoid recycling.

I don’t create that much waste

Really? As per global data, every human being on earth produces over 600 Kgs of trash a year. So, which one is it, you are not a human or you don’t’ live on earth? From food, clothes, shelter to electronics, lighting equipment to all the plastic that it is wrapped in… everything we use, has the ability to turn into trash. So next time someone tells you they don’t create crap, tell them that their crap starts from that sentence itself.

Recycling process is very tedious

Yes, it is a tedious process. The recycler segregates the trash, puts it in massive recycling machines which than separates the plastic, metals and other items, which they package and downstream to manufacturers again…But we do not have to worry about all that, do we? We just need to keep a recycling bin in our house and once it is full, give it to the nearest recycler. Was that tedious? Well…NO!

Why should I pay for recycling?

Didn’t we just mention all the hassle a recycler has to go through to recycle? It takes manpower and massive machinery to recycle the items we provide them. But by investing in all that now, they make sure that we don’t make the environment any more inhabitable for us and our future generations. We should pay the minimal service charge to the people who are saving the environment on our behalf. Isn’t that only fair?

What is my benefit?

Our planet is already getting inhabitable with all the plastic in oceans, chemicals in land and dust in air. So, if you wish to stay happy on the planet, you need to first make the planet happy. Isn’t cleaner air, healthier soil and fresh water benefit enough? Think!

Now next time when you come across anyone who is giving excuses for not recycling…you know how to answer them. You are not one of them, are you?
