Steemit Engagement Challenge || I take care of the planet and you? By @pixie.dust

We all take care of our homes and the places where we live. Then why don't we take care of our planet? Isn't it our home too? It provides us with so many resources, shelter, food and everything then why are we so insensitive towards it?

These questions always bother me whenever I look around and observe everyone being so indifferent towards taking care of our planet, our earth.

I TAKE CARE OF MY PLANET, DO YOU?

I try to fulfill my responsibility and take care of my planet by doing certain activities I've mentioned below :

I CREATE AWARENESS

^{w3w code}

I use my social media to create awareness about the things and activities which are harmful for our environment and are likely to cause catastrophic events in the near future.

These events are most of the time, result of the human activities so it's very important to create awareness and highlight all those activities that are causing environmental disasters.

PLANTATION

Plantation plays a very important role for our environment. It makes the air cleaner for us to breathe , gives support to the land by holding it tightly when there's an excessive rainfall and helps keeping the temperature in control when the weather is too hot.

I make sure to participate in the plantation event held every year in my society. It gives me a sense of satisfaction.

I USE PAPER BAGS AND CLOTH BAGS INSTEAD OF PLASTIC

Plastic is extremely dangerous and toxic for our environment because it can't be recycled and it takes years for it to decompose. It causes pollution in the soil, land, water and even the air when it's burned.

Instead of using the plastic bags I prefer using the paper bags or even the cloth bags for any shopping. Paper and cloth bags are recyclable
and eco friendly.

EARTH WEEK AT MY KID'S SCHOOL

^{Children given the concept of reusable of things by giving them cloth bags.}

^{w3w code.}

Last week my kids celebrated the Earth week and I was very excited when he told me about it because there were a series of events planned for the whole week where the kids were taught about protecting our planet earth.

^{Zero Emissions rally to give the concept of a avoiding burning of fuel.}

It made me very happy and I decided to play my part in it too by doing activities that are eco friendly infront of them because Kids are curious and they learn and imitate the grown-ups quickly so it's necessary to perform those actions infront of them which we want them to do.

I AVOID LITTERING:

^{Littering causes a lot of environmental pollution including soil, water and air pollution.}

^w3wcode

I play my part in protecting my planet by keeping it clean and avoiding littering. I always make sure to clean my space and to avoid throwing rubbish on the floor.

These are few of the things I religiously follow to protect our planet "Earth". I even make sure to teach my son about the importance of protecting our planet because we can only survive if our Earth exists.

I hope you liked my post. I further nominate @wander.lust and @sualeha to participate in the contest. Please tell me in comments what you do to protect our planet. Until next time!!
