National Environment Day is celebrated on 21 October each year in Malaysia. It promotes greater environmental awareness among the community and calls for proactive actions to preserve and conserve our precious environment and natural resources. How can we do our part? Well, we can Protect Our Planet by changing our consumption habits and becoming more aware of the environmental impact of our purchases and actions.
Here are seven actions we can take on immediately to create a more sustainable lifestyle:
1. Compost our food waste.
2. Choose reusable items over single-use items.
3. Separate and recycle our waste.
4. Buy local and minimise our carbon footprint.
5. Walk, bike or carpool.
6. Conserve electricity.
7. Save water.
