매년 4 월 22 일에 거의 200 개국에 수백만 명의 사람들이 지구의 날을 축하하는데, 나는 그 중에 하나입니다. 1970 년에 시작된 지구의 날은 우리 모두가 우리의 지구를 더 좋은 곳으로 만들 수있는 방법을 생각할 수있는 기회입니다. 지구에 대한 우리의 영향을 더 염두에두고 자원을 보존하고, 돈을 절약하며, 건강한 생활을 장려하는 새롭고 환경친화적 인 습관을 기르도록 도전하십시오.

실제로, 그것들과 같은 놀라운 이점을 가지고, 지구의 날처럼 매일 살아가는 것이 합리적이지 않습니까?
그럼요, 여러분은 할 수있어요. 수년 동안 우리 가족과 나는 지구의 날을 삶의 새롭고 창조적인 변화를 가져오기위한 출발점으로 사용했습니다. 당신과 당신의 가족이 시도할 수있는 지구의 날을 축하하는 30 가지 방법이 있습니다. 그 중 일부는 작게 보일 수 있으나, 개인적인 변화는 체계적인 개혁을 이룰 수 있습니다. 작은 변화는 더해지며, 평생 동안 그러한 변화를 지속한다면 환경 발자국을 심각하게 가볍게 만들어 지구를 더 깨끗하고 살기 좋은 곳으로 만들죠.

그럼 그걸 살펴볼가요?

Every April 22nd, millions of people in nearly 200 countries celebrate Earth Day, and I’m on e of them. Originating in 1970, Earth Day is an opportunity for all of us to reflect on how we can make our Earth a better place; to be more mindful of our impact on the Earth and challenge ourselves to adopt new, environmentally friendly habits that conserve resources, save money, and encourage healthy living all-around.

In fact, with wonderful benefits like those, doesn’t it make sense to live every day like it’s Earth Day?

Well, you can. Over the years, my family and I have used Earth Day as a starting point to implement new and creative changes in our lives. Here are 30 ways we celebrate Earth Day that you and your family can try too. Some of them may seem small, and personal changes are no substitute for systemic reform — but small changes do add up, and if you sustain those changes for the rest of your life, they can profoundly lighten your environmental footprint and help make the Earth a better, cleaner place to live.

가정에서  In Your Home

1. 에센셜오일, 즉 방향유를 쓰세요 Use Essential Oils

많은 양초, 냄새가 나는 플러그인 및 방향제 스프레이에는 독성 및 합성향이 포함되어 있습니다. 그 대신에 순수한 또는 혼합된 에센셜 오일을 확산기 또는 가습기에 첨가하여 가정 전체에 쾌적한 향기를 전하십시오. 에센셜 오일을 바르거나 맡으면 건강상의 이점이 생기고 기분을 진정하는 효과를 줍니다.

Many candles, scented plugins, and room sprays contain toxic, synthetic fragrances. Instead of those, add pure or mixed essential oils to a diffuser or humidifier to spread a pleasant aroma throughout your home. Many essential oils boast health benefits or have calming effects on mood.^[1]

2. 집안을 정리하세요 Declutter Your Home

봄은 철저하게 집 청소를 하고 쓰레기를 버리거나, 재활용하거나, 기부할 좋은 시간입니다. 기쁨을 가져다 줄 수있는 것들을 지키고, 그렇지 않은 것들을 놓아주는 의식적인 결정을 하십시오. 또한 지키고 있는 모든 물품에 대해 집에 자리를 지어주십시오. 사용 후 모든 품목을 보관하고 반납하는 것은 혼란을 줄이고 필요할 때 언제든지 필요한 것을 찾을 수 있습니다.

Spring is a great time to conduct a thorough home cleaning and discard, recycle, or donate all the unused items that are on ly taking up space. Make a conscious decision to keep the items that bring you joy and let go of the on es that don’t. Additionally, designate a spot in your home for every item you keep. Having a place for every item and returning it after use reduces clutter and will ensure you’re always able to find what you need, when you need it.

3.세탁할때 라벤더 향을 쓰세요 Use Lavender in Your Laundry

많은 유형의 건조기 시트에는 합성 화학물질과 향이 포함되어 있습니다. 그것들을 버리고 약 20 방울의 라벤더 에센셜 오일을 습한 수건이나 양모 건조기 볼에 넣고 젖은 옷으로 건조기에 던지십시오. 집안 곳곳에서 눈에 띄는 쾌적하고 자연스러운 향기를 옷에 줄 것입니다.

Many types of dryer sheets contain synthetic chemicals and fragrances. Ditch those and add about 20 drops of lavender essential oil to a damp washcloth or a few wool dryer balls and throw them in the dryer with your wet clothes. It’ll give your clothes a pleasant, natural scent that will even be noticeable throughout your home.

4. 나무를 기르세요 Adopt a Tree

한그루 나무는 매년 48 파운드의 이산화탄소를 흡수할 수 있습니다. 아파트나 타운 하우스에 살고 있다면, 작은 실내 친화적인 고무나무 ficus를 얻으십시오. 용설란 Yucca, 군자란 kaffir 석회, 마다가스카르 용 또는 분재는 실내에서 번성하는 다른 작은 나무입니다. 애완 동물이 있는 경우 선택한 나무가 그 나무에 독성이 없는지 다시 한 번 확인하는 것이 좋습니다.

A single tree can absorb up to 48 pounds of carbon dioxide every year.^[2] If you live in an apartment or townhouse, get a small, indoor-friendly ficus. Yucca, kaffir lime, Madagascar dragon, or bonsai are other small trees that thrive indoors. Keep in mind that if you have pets, it’s best to double-check that the tree you select isn’t toxic to them.

5. 꽃을 심으세요 Plant Flowers

Native flowers look beautiful and they provide pollen and nectar for pollinators like bees and hummingbirds.^[3] Even better, locally-sourced flowers are typically low maintenance because they’re accustomed to your climate.

6. 자연적인 살충방법을 쓰세요  Use Natural Pest Control

독성 분말 및 스프레이와 같은 합성 해충방제 방법에 대한 의존도를 줄입니다. 새집 birdhouse를 설치하거나 곤충이라면 박쥐 집을 설치하여 곤충을 먹는 동물에게 집 주변을 방문하도록 권장하십시오. 해충을 통제하는 데 도움이되는 사마귀와 무당 벌레와 같은 육식성 곤충을 위한 친근한 환경을 조성할 수도 있습니다. 달팽이 또는 달팽이가 있는 경우에, 규조토의 뿌리로 당신의 귀중한 식물을 보호 하십시요.

Reduce your reliance on synthetic pest control methods like toxic powders and sprays. Encourage local insect-eating animals to visit the area around your home by installing a birdhouse or, if you dare, a bat house. You can also create a welcoming environment for predatory insects like praying mantises and ladybugs to help control pests. If you have slugs or snails, protect your precious plants with a sprinkle of diatomaceous earth.^[4]

7. 공기 필터를 바꾸세요 Change Your Air Filter

There are many different types of air filters available, opt for the on es that are washable or made from eco-friendly materials. Reusable filters reduce waste and they’re more economical over the long run. Even better, clean filters improve the efficiency of air conditioners and can reduce energy costs.^[5]

8. 창문을 봉하세요  Seal the Door

A little air flow is a good thing but too much can work against your home’s heating and cooling efforts. Install a draft stopper on your door and seal up major cracks or leaks where you can. It’ll help you save on heating and cooling costs and keep pests out of your house.^[6]

9. 순간 온수기, 쿨러, 샤워를 짧게하세요 Take Cooler, Shorter Showers

According to the US Department of Energy, the water heater accounts for about 17% of the average American’s monthly energy bill.^[7] In other words, it requires a lot of energy to heat water for a shower or bath. Taking a cooler, shorter shower can reduce energy use. As an added bonus, cold showers may help you feel more alert and reduce feelings of fatigue.^[8]

10. 자동온도 조절기를 다세요 Install a Smart Thermostat

Depending on where you live, central air conditioning might account for as much as 50% of your energy use.^[9] To reduce waste, consider installing a smart, programmable thermostat. These devices shut off automatically when you’re away and have other built-in features that facilitate efficient heating and cooling.

11. 냉장고 온도가 너무 낮지않은지 확인하세요 Check Your Fridge

If you frequently find half-frozen produce or leftovers in the fridge, you’re ruining your food and wasting energy. Set your fridge to 37º F to reduce unnecessary energy use and keep your food fresh and unfrozen.^[10]

12. 온수기 온도를 낮추세요  Lower the Temperature on Your Water Heater

Water heaters are often set unnecessarily high, sometimes as high as 140º F. Lowering the settings to 120º F saves energy. And, since exceptionally hot water dries out your skin, it’s better for your complexion.

13. 추울때 스웨터를 입으세요  Put on a Sweater

If the house feels a little chilly, put on a sweater, warm socks, and cozy sweatpants. Prepare some herbal tea or a homemade soup rather than turning on the heater.

14. 서늘하게 유지하세요, 자연적으로요 Keep Cool, Naturally

Consuming something cold is a great way to cool down. Stay hydrated. If it’s hot out, shed some layers and drink iced water or tea. Or, blend together and freeze organic frozen fruit to make a homemade sorbet.

15. 에어컨으로 냉방하기보다는 선풍기로 더위를 식히세요 Turn on the Fan

It’s easy to reach for the air conditioner when it’s too warm but, next time the heat gets too much, turn on a fan instead. Even the most efficient air conditioners account for a significant portion of your monthly energy expenditure. Fans use a tiny fraction of this energy.

16. 볕이 들게 하세요 Let There be Sunlight!

Open up the curtains and blinds to let in more natural light whenever possible. More than just conserving energy, sunlight helps your body produce vitamin D and strengthens your immune system.^[11]

17. 샤워를 자주하지 마세요 Skip the Shower

샤워하기 전에 샤워가 필요한지 고려하십시오. 덜 자주 샤워를 하는 것이 다시금 표준이 되고 있습니다. 사실, 사람들은 일주일에 한 번 목욕을 하던 중 목욕을 하기 위해 일주일에 싱크대에서 세차를 하곤 했습니다. 비누 세일즈맨이 "몸의 냄새"라는 문구를 작성하고 매일 샤워를 할 필요를 만들었죠. 그들은 소비자의 목욕이라는 새로운 욕구가 생길 때 일반 입욕의 아이디어가 인기를 얻었습니다.

즉, 개인 위생은 건강에 필수적이며 가장 가까운 사람들이 느끼는 것이지만 너무 자주 샤워할 수도 있습니다. 격렬한 활동을 하지 않았다면 샤워할 필요가 없습니다. 또한, 일부 유형의 비누는 필수 미네랄을 제거하고 피부를 건조 시키며 피부의 미생물을 파괴하므로 가능한 모든 곳에서 자연 위생 용품을 사용하십시오.

Consider whether or not you need a shower before taking on e. Less frequent showers are becoming the norm on ce again. In fact, people used to bathe about on ce a week and just wash up at the sink the week leading up to their next bath. The idea of regular bathing became popular when soap salesmen created new consumer need by inventing the phrase “body odor” and the need for a daily shower.^[12]

That said, personal hygiene is essential for your health and it’s something the people closest to you appreciate, but you might be showering too often. If you haven’t performed any strenuous activities, you might not need a shower. Additionally, keep in mind that some types of soap remove essential minerals, dry the skin and disrupt your skin’s microbiota, so try to use natural hygiene products wherever possible.^[13]

18. 부드러운 자연의 세제를 쓰세요 Use Gentle Cleaners

When cleaning your home, use eco-friendly cleaning products instead of harsh, toxic agents. Plant-based cleaning solutions are widely available; you can find them at both big box stores and natural markets. Alternatively, castile soap or a simple solution of white vinegar diluted in water is an effective cleaner you can use on many types of surfaces.

19. 유리 용기를 재활용하세요  Reuse Glass Containers

Before you recycle your glass bottles and jars, think about how you can reuse them. Large jars are great for salads and soups, small on es are the perfect size to measure portions of nuts and dressings. You can even reuse the dropper bottles from other products; just wash them out when you’re finished with them, and use them to hold or blend your favorite essential oils.

Transportation

20. 타이어 압을 점검해서 연비를 좋게하세요 Check Your Tire Pressure

Improve fuel efficiency and lower your pollution footprint by keeping your tires properly inflated. It’s also a good strategy for prolonging the life of your tires and, in turn, saving money.

21. 걷고 자전거를 타면서 일하세요 Walk or Bike to Work

Not on ly is walking or biking to work great exercise, it reduces your pollution footprint. It can also be good for your mind — people that commute by car experience greater stress than people who walk, bike, and use public transportation, so it’s in your best interest to take a stroll to work.^[14] As a bonus, you’ll also get a little exercise and some much-needed sunshine on your way.

22. 카풀을 시작하세요  Start a Carpool

If you have to drive, consider carpooling with coworkers in your neighborhood. You’ll help reduce pollution, decrease traffic congestion, and you get the bonus of social interaction before and after work. Studies report that talking to friends and coworkers offers substantial health benefits.^[15]

Lifestyle

23. 고기를 적게 드세요 Eat Less Meat

모두가 고기와 유제품 소비를 줄이면 환경에 큰 기여를 할 것입니다. 가축을 기르려면 엄청난 양의 자원이 필요합니다. 삼림 벌채, 서식지 손실, 온실 가스 배출, 작물 오염 및 수질 오염에 기여합니다. 더 심한 연구 결과에 따르면, 동물성 제품을 많이 섭취하면 만성 질환과 건강의 쇠약을 유발할 수 있습니다.

If everyone cut back on their meat and dairy consumption, it would be a great contribution to the environment. Raising livestock requires an astounding amount of resources; it contributes to deforestation, habitat loss, greenhouse gas emissions, crop contamination, and water pollution.^[16] Even worse, studies show that a high consumption of animal products can contribute to many chronic and debilitating diseases.

I don’t eat meat, but if you do eat meat, challenge yourself to replace it with plant-based food more often. Organic plants don’t have the same environmental impact as factory farming and a diet rich in plant-based food provides the specialized nutrition to support your health, and increase your lifespan. Starting a “Meatless Monday” habit is a great way to get started. If you like the results, take it a step further and become flexitarian, reducetarian, pescatarian, or semi-vegetarian to reduce your reliance on animal products even more.

24. Unplug and Go Outside

Today, too many people spend too much time indoors consuming media in some form or another — usually electronic. A climate-controlled environment requires energy to maintain, as do devices. Do yourself and the planet a favor by powering down, going outside, and enjoying nature with your friends and family. You don’t need to get on a plane to have an adventure. There might be some local undiscovered spot that will become your new retreat. National parks and nature preserves are resources many people don’t take advantage of and, unfortunately, parks that don’t receive a lot of visitors are at risk of being defunded, developed, or mined of their natural resources. Plan a visit to a less popular park to help protect its funding and maintenance.

25. Support Sustainable Businesses

If you can buy it, there’s an eco-friendly version of it. Support companies that use sustainable practices, ingredients, and packaging in their products. Many businesses have started incorporating recycled or upcycled materials into their products.

26. Get a Reusable Water Bottle

Disposable, plastic water bottles may be convenient but they release toxic plasticizers and hardeners that make their way into your body and the environment. Plastic does not degrade easily, and it may take up to 1,000 years to decompose.^[17] Recycling is also a on e-time-only process, explains Carolanne Wright:

“Conventional recycling programs are ineffective at best; on ly two types of plastic are widely recyclable, and even then, it’s downgraded into other products which cannot be recycled further, eventually ending up in landfill, or worse, in the ocean, where plastic seriously harms wildlife, the ecosystem and our health. … It’s naive to think the material will disappear all together.”

Instead of using plastic, buy a reusable water bottle made of glass and fill it with purified water every time you leave the house. It’s a habit that will reduce waste, and taking a water bottle wherever will encourage you to drink water more often and stay hydrated.

At the Office

27. Take a Plant to Work

Air purification devices are handy but wouldn’t it be great to clean the air naturally? Well, it turns out that you can literally clear the air of pollutants with certain plants. According to a NASA study, some plants help remove toxic compounds from the air. Florist’s Chrysanthemum is cited as the most broadly effective and reported to remove pollutants like benzene, formaldehyde, and ammonia; English ivy is another excellent choice.^[18] Take a small desk plant to work and breathe a sigh of relief.

28. Take a Mug to Work

Disposable cups are convenient but using them is a tremendous source of waste. Even worse, most of the disposable cups you use every day are not recyclable and contain objectionable chemicals like styrene (found in Styrofoam), which is linked to neurological effects.^{[19, 20]} Skip the disposable cups and bring your own mug to work. There are many nice options that are made with non-toxic materials.

29. Pack Your Lunch

In the United States, over 30% of food is thrown away at the consumer level.^[21] That is a massive amount of waste and the majority of it ends up in landfills where it contributes to the production of greenhouse gasses.^[22] Do the Earth a favor: save your leftovers and take them for lunch instead of going to a restaurant. If you have some veggies that have seen better days but are still good, turn them into a soup and pour it into jars for an easy grab and go lunch.

30. Stop Printing

The average American uses seven trees worth of paper and paper products every year.^[23] That’s a lot of trees, and most of it ends up in the garbage. Whenever possible, avoid printing at work. A link or a PDF is often easier to keep up with and won’t clutter your coworkers’ desks.

Lasting Changes

Small changes add up quickly and can make a measurable difference on your pollution footprint and use of the Earth’s natural resources. Hopefully, these will provide a good start and encourage you to explore other areas such as using fewer disposable goods and recycling regularly. If everyone adopted just a few of these changes, we could significantly reduce our collective impact on the Earth.
