We all want to do what’s right for the planet but we don’t all know where to start. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed when you start but keep in mind that there are a lot of places where you can find help, both online and offline. If you really want to make a difference then these easy but effective tips will help you cut down waste and do your bit for Mother Earth.
Start small
When you are just getting started, it is important to start small. Take baby steps, you do not have to change your entire lifestyle in one day. That is just going to put extra pressure on you, and will likely cause you stress and anxiety. Start with something basic like separating trash into different categories and have separate bins in the house. Get your whole family to learn how they need to separate trash and then let that become a daily habit. Once everyone is on board, you can incorporate other steps as well.

MUSINGS OF A SOLDIER: TIT-BITS
People often ask me about my life out of uniform. Honestly, I have had no problems. Not so far. Instead, I find it quite refreshing. No routine, no parades, no briefing, no impending operations. Having donned the uniform since the age of thirteen until I hung up my boots last year, could I ever visualize life out of uniform? Not really. But, as I said, the transition has been quite smooth–no hang-overs, no regrets. People have been very positive in their interactions. Government departments have been responsive whenever I have approached for assistance.The genuine respect for the uniform is quite evident and it makes my heart swell with pride. Arunachal, to that extent, is the most nationalistic state in the country, I daresay. It has been kind of a revelation for me to experience the freedom of being a common man in an environment of positivity!
