Climate change is no longer an uncertainty. From severe cyclonic storms to raging wildfires, the effects of global warming are taking place all across the world and right before our eyes. In the words of Indian PM Narendra Modi “The time for talking is over.” In the words of 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg “The eyes of future generations is on you.”
Even as governments and activists are amping up their efforts to restore the ecological balance, we must ask ourselves what we can do on an individual level to reduce our carbon footprints. Here are some of our suggestions:
- Practice the 3 R’s – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
- Conserve water
- Switch to solar power
- Eat seasonal and local produce
- Walk or cycle instead of driving (It’s great exercise too!)
As a socially-responsible and environmentally-concious company, Gifting Ideas is also doing its bit. We put a wide range of eco-friendly gifts across categories into one comprehensive catalogue called ‘Communitree’. And every time you buy a gift from this catalogue, we will plant a tree for you.
