When you look at the crystal blue skies over Mumbai it doesn’t look like a deadly pandemic.

You can also follow organic farming practices and can grow food in your own backyard. Secondly, Educate others about the importance of living an environmentally friendly life. The more people share an awareness of the importance of the environment, the more we can do together to conserve it.

Two things which I follow to keep our environment healthy: Write down what is inside of your fridge before you go grocery shopping! Plan meals around the food that needs to be eaten first. Buy less than you think that you need. We tend to overbuy on food so remove on a meal from your meal plan because you'll most likely have an unexpected dinner out or leftovers! And Bring your own cloth bags to all stores like a pet store, hardware stores, grocery stores, etc.
