Let’s celebrate Earth Day all year long! 7 simple ways to save the world

Earth Day – when, where?

The holiday of ecology and good deeds for our planet falls on April 22. We celebrate it every year, for more than half a century. The idea of Earth Day originated in the United States, shortly after a massive environmental disaster. It was then that the environmental movement gained an official, formal character.

Earth Day reminds us how important it is to care about the future of the planet. Each of us can save the world – and every day! See how simple it is.

How to take care of the planet on a daily basis?

7 steps towards going green

1. Disconnect devices

Did you know that electronic devices can consume energy even when they are turned off? This happens when you leave the power supply plugged into a contact. Turn off the equipment completely, do not leave it in standby mode. Disconnect the plug. This will help you save on electricity bills and reduce the amount of energy you use.

2. Print less

Use electronic documents. If you need to use the printer, enable two-sided printing mode. Use small scraps of paper for working handwritten notes.

3. Make a day without a car

From time to time, choose to walk or bike instead of driving a car. You will contribute to reducing automobile traffic congestion and pollution in your locality, in addition to improving your own fitness.

4. Take a shower instead of a bath in the tub

Did you know that bathing in a tub uses up to 100 liters of water? A shower of a few minutes is a huge savings – both for you and for the environment.

5. Freeze food

Try to plan your meals and purchases so that you don’t accumulate unnecessary supplies. However, if you have food in excess, freeze some of the portion. Avoid wasting and throwing away food products.

6. Go shopping with your own bag

Avoid using plastic nets. Their production and disposal is a huge burden on the environment. By taking your bag, you are contributing to the conservation of the natural world.

7. Drink water from a filter bottle

This is more than just a step toward reducing plastic. Filtering will save you money previously spent on bottled water. In addition, you will make it easier to form a healthy habit of hydration.

8. Repair to buy less

In case of equipment failure, consider whether buying a new model is necessary. Why not have a professional do the repairs? Give objects a second life, eliminate minor defects yourself.

Dottore – our steps towards ecology

See what other measures we are implementing at dottore to better care for our shared planet.

• We use environmentally friendly parcel fillers. They are biodegradable and made from plant-based materials. They can be dissolved in water and disposed of without harming the environment.
• We use up stock before innovating. As a result, we generate less waste.
• We implement modern manufacturing solutions. We are increasingly using packaging made of a single type of material, and limiting the foil elements.
