Are you helping to save the environment or destroy it?
Why
Given the environmental crises and degradation, there has been an increasing emphasis on environmental protection. In fact, going green and adopting Eco friendly measures is significantly profitable for businesses. Companies are now using new technologies, business models and innovative approaches, to ensure environmental sustainability. The negative implications of a continual use of toxic plastic is truly dangerous. People are beginning to see this truth and rethink usage of plastics to as to ensure a sustainable environment. Governments have joined the campaign against environmental degradation and with new policies and rules, they are ensuring that we all do what is best for the environment. The fight against environmental degradation should be the main goal of everyone.
Businesses are not left out either. There has been a major shift from single-use plastics to recycled plastic for packaging, and an increasing emphasis on the importance of recycling. The facts are clear and something must be done soon to curb practices that endanger the environment. Research shows that production of plastic in the future will increase at a very alarming rate. Think of what this would do our environment.
We get water, power and oxygen from the environment. It is the most important resource for life and sustenance. The Earth is polluted by toxic gases and vapors produced by cars and factories, some of which include plastic and paper manufacturing plants. A clean environment is essential for a healthy life. Therefore, we must keep our environment clean and protected. A healthy environment produces great wealth in the form of many resources and a healthier population. We know that a healthy environment is also much less likely to cause large problems.
How
Simple steps can be made to achieve the environmental sustainability goals. It‘s all about creating new and innovative ideas and approaches, especially for businesses. In a recent report, UN Environment examined the potential of replacing conventional plastics with a range of natural material, such as paper, cotton, wood, algae and fungi, and alternative technologies, such as new generation bio-polymers made from biomass sources. Companies are starting to make significant changes. Adopting some of these new changes can even be beneficial to businesses, as they can attract more customers.
One of the first steps taken, was a shift from plastic use to paper use. In recent times, businesses have adopted the paperless approach. However, some still have a long way to go. Reliance on paper and paper-based processes is not even beneficial these days as millennials prefer to do everything electronically. You can make your business more eco-friendly by making just a few small changes. Since many of them also help cut operating expenses, these changes will help you cut costs while also ensuring you can attract environmentally-conscious customers.
However, replacing plastic with paper is not entirely the best solution. Paper itself has to be produced and this production process involves cutting down trees and using heavy machinery. We all know the importance of trees and their huge contribution to the sustenance of the environment. Remember that the less paper you use, the less paper needs to be produced, and the more trees that get to fill our forests. Also, a thick forest is much less likely to cause a deathly fire than a sparse land.
