 We've all read about hundreds of articles on how climate change, deforestation, and extinction of wildlife species is a major threat to our biodiversity and environment. We all love to talk about how precious our planet is, but at the same time, we lack behind when it comes to actually taking action against the mentioned problems. The solutions suggested to us are usually too expensive or just out of our reach, which is understandable, but you don't really have to be super rich to contribute towards saving the planet. Just changing a few daily habits can significantly help in doing the same. # Use Public Transportation.  A standard passenger car emits about 2 pounds of carbon dioxide for every 2 miles. Now combine that with more than 1.2 billion motor vehicles worldwide, and you got yourself a big dusty cloud of toxic carbon. Using public transportation whenever you can is one of the easiest ways to reduce your carbon footprint, which is the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by an individual. If the destination is nearby, you can really just walk or ride a bicycle. It really is that easy. # Recycle Electronic Waste.  [Source](http://www.freeportnewsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/E-Waste-Recycling.jpg) Electronic waste comprises 70% of our overall toxic waste and we generate around 40 million tons of it every year worldwide, which is roughly equal to throwing away 800 laptops every second! Even if you are really tempted to buy the latest iPhone or any kind of new electronic device, do so only if your old one is no longer usable. I understand that for some tech enthusiasts it might sound like an impossible task, but it certainly helps in saving our planet. # Try Eating Less Meat.  It is a well known fact among scientists that our livestock agriculture is responsible for more than 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, which is more than the combined emissions of all of the automobiles in the world. Not only does farming animals for agriculture wipe out all the natural forest land, the methane produced my those animals has 25 times more potential planet warming power than carbon dioxide itself! # Carry Paper Or Jute Bags Instead Of Plastic Ones.  A lot of countries in the world are starting to ban or induce heavy taxes on the use of plastic because of the serious hazards it causes on the environment. Scientists are even trying to make biodegradable plastic called **Polylactide** using oxygen-carbon bonds rather than carbon-carbon bonds in normal non biodegradable plastic. Using paper or jute bags can be a great alternative since they are easily decomposed in the soil if thrown away. ___ <center> ***Thank You for reading my blog!
