The pandemic made us realise the importance of taking care of the planet. Resources are limited but consumption is a lot. To begin with, disposal of masks is something I know needs to be done properly. Cut the strings and dispose them, so birds and animals aren’t harmed. Also, cut down on plastic, that’s a big nono now. I’d request everyone to make these small changes, it begins with each one of us.

The biggest lifestyle change I’ve made is moving away from goods that are packaged in plastic. I had cut down on personal plastic, in terms of water bottles. Of late, I discovered there are ethical beauty brands that are organic, cruelty-free and don’t package the products in plastic. Instead, they believe in paper packaging, which is recyclable.

Small changes in our daily lives can really go a long way in having a positive impact on the environment. I’ve made certain changes like using bamboo toothbrushes. I believe in conserving water as and when I can, using eco-friendly products, and most importantly, making my friends and family aware of the changes they can make, too. I’m also avoiding the use of plastic bottles.

I think I’ve become a more conscious shopper. I take a moment to weigh all the options. I check if the product I intend to buy is easily recyclable. Is it water efficient? Where was it manufactured? What were the circumstances of its manufacture? And only then decide if I want to buy it or not.
SANJANA SANGHI
I’ve shifted to organic, from skin care to hair care brands, cutting down on chemicals and using cruelty-free. It’s my mum’s natural way of being. When I started focusing on it, I realised most of her housekeeping habits kept the environment in mind. Waste segregation has been the norm at home. I’ve also shifted to glass, no plastic.
