In a report by WHO, around 13 million deaths happen each year due to environmental issues. To make it worse, many diseases are the result of living in a low-quality environment. Lung diseases, asthma, stroke and heart issues are some of the examples. Green living such as making environmentally friendly, sustainable food choices, and energy conservation can help reduce pollution to some extent.
Firstly, the consumption of healthier foods can contribute to reducing pollution. People can start by consuming eco-friendly foods from local farmers such as organic and seasonal foods, etc. Farmers produce them with fewer pesticides that go into human bodies. Too much exposure to pesticides harms the human body and as a result, people face many health issues like lack of immunity and even cancer.
Secondly, through energy conservation, people are saving both natural resources as well as money. The light bulbs and other electrical appliances in the market produce 2.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide, which pollutes the air severely. Today there are LED bulbs available on the market that are eco-friendly and also save energy. Using such energy-efficient appliances reduces up to 30% of the annual electricity bill.
