 Given the current environmental crisis that the planet is going through, derived from anthropocentric actions, it is essential to have a lifestyle without waste, this contributes to the environment by reducing the amount of solid waste emitted by each inhabitant of the earth. In my daily life, the actions I take to contribute positively to this global problem is to try to recycle as much as possible, before I bought plastic water bottles to go to university and one day I decided to change for a thermos to fill it with water before leaving. from home and has become a part of me, now I carry it everywhere. My family and I change the plastic bags that are given in supermarkets and department stores for cloth bags. Before the pandemic, when I got together with my college classmates to celebrate a birthday, we took out our thermos, plate and cutlery from home to avoid generating waste with single-use products, and we will surely continue with this action in the future. Plastic straws went from being something I used frequently to avoiding them altogether. A few months ago I bought several bamboo toothbrushes and shared them with all my family and friends so that we could substitute the use of plastic brushes for environmentally friendly ones and explain the benefits they have. In addition, buying as many products as possible in bulk is something that began to be applied to reduce purchases of packaged products. It is also important to separate plastic waste such as PET bottles and aluminum containers at home to be recycled. Many people ask me, How do these small actions affect the planet when companies produce huge amounts all over the world? This is when I suggest that they begin to carry out actions like the ones I mentioned before, and I think this is something very common throughout the world, but I know that if everyone begins to use these initiatives, no matter how small, together with the that many people are already doing, added together they make a big difference, it is necessary that each one does their part, it is a commitment to the planet and it corresponds to all of us. We are in time to make a change and stop the environmental crisis, together we can achieve it.
