What are five basic steps an individual can take to do his bit to save the planet?

There are a few things we can all do. Let's start by segregating our waste and composting at home. Then, of course, we must return to our old practice of reusing clothes. And, ditch singleuse plastic. These days, it is quite easy to call people to collect plastic waste from home and take it for recycling.

We must be aware of our energy and water consumption.

For instance, at home, I have put stoppers at the source, and all my water outlets function at 20-30 per cent capacity and frankly that is enough.

And lastly, let's be mindful of food wastage. All of us at some point have been guilty of ordering too much food at a restaurant, in such an instance, packing that food and eating it later or giving it to someone in need would be the best practice.
