Promoting the use of renewable energy sources is a big one. We should encourage businesses and households to switch to solar or wind power, which can reduce our carbon footprint.
Another strategy is to develop green public transportation systems. Efficient and eco-friendly buses and trains can reduce traffic congestion and pollution, while also meeting social needs for mobility.
Community gardens and urban farming initiatives can help too. They provide local, sustainable food sources and promote social cohesion by bringing people together.
Worldwide, or in the Western World, the market promotes extreme consumerism to sell its products. People can and often do get caught up in a whirlwind of needless buying and spending, ramping up personal debt and environmental and ecological damage. Such behaviour boils down to individual personal choice. The issue is, how do we buck and reverse this trend?
