Small Acts in Your Daily Life That Can Help Save the Planet

Let’s not beat around the bush here: humanity is killing the planet. We’re possibly already past the point of no return, and before long, the Earth will be uninhabitable. But there are small, easy steps that you can take to help save the planet. If it isn’t already too late.

The #2minutesolution

Yes, activists are trying to save the world with a hashtag. The #2minutesolution is basically a challenge to spend two minutes a week collecting litter and recycling as much as possible. If we all did this, a lot less reusable material would end up in landfill.

Embrace Renewable Energy

Switching to energy suppliers that use green energy is easier than ever. You may even find that this works out cheaper than traditional fossil-fuel suppliers, but that’s of secondary importance. What matters is getting your electricity from a fuel source that isn’t poisoning the planet.

Go Vegetarian

Yes, I know, going veggie isn’t a popular choice (I’ve written a lot of meat-loving articles for Obsev, and I love bacon as much as anyone). So if going completely vegetarian is too much of an ask, just try eating one meat-free meal a week. Even reducing your meat intake will help lower carbon emissions.

Go Paperless

Do you really need to read a physical newspaper when a digital edition exists? Can you take a photo of a poster instead of picking up a leaflet? Reducing paper waste also means less clutter, which can only ever be a good thing!
