Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. The good news is that individual actions, when multiplied across communities, can create significant positive impact.

Environmental health directly affects human health:

Simple changes make a difference:

• Switch to LED bulbs (use 75% less energy)
• Unplug devices when not in use
• Use natural light when possible
• Set AC to 24-26°C (not lower)
• Air-dry clothes instead of using dryers

Every drop counts:

• Fix leaking taps immediately
• Use bucket instead of shower when possible
• Collect rainwater for plants
• Run washing machines with full loads
• Turn off tap while brushing teeth

The 5 R’s hierarchy:

1. Refuse — Say no to what you don’t need
2. Reduce — Buy less, choose quality
3. Reuse — Find new uses for old items
4. Repair — Fix instead of replacing
5. Recycle — Last resort for materials

What you eat matters:

• Eat more plant-based meals
• Buy local and seasonal produce
• Reduce food waste (plan meals, use leftovers)
• Grow some of your own food if possible
• Avoid single-use plastic packaging

You don’t have to change everything at once:

1. Week 1 — Carry a reusable water bottle
2. Week 2 — Bring your own shopping bags
3. Week 3 — Say no to single-use plastic
4. Week 4 — Start separating waste

Individual action matters, but systemic change is also needed:

• Support environmental policies
• Choose sustainable businesses
• Educate others about climate action
• Participate in community initiatives

🌍 Every action counts: Small changes, when adopted by many, create massive impact.

Together, we can build a sustainable future for generations to come.
