The theme of the 2025 Day is "A fair transition to a sustainable lifestyle", relevant in the light of growing environmental problems.
In 2023, carbon emissions reached 36.8 billion tons, and the volume of solid household waste exceeded 2 billion tons. They are projected to increase to 3.4 billion tons in 30 years.
Consumers can play an important role in saving the planet. Here are some actions that can be taken to achieve this.
Give up single-use plastic.
Every year, 52 million tons of plastic waste enter the environment, which can decompose for centuries and harm the ecosystem. Try not to use disposable tableware whenever possible. The quality of your life will not get worse from this, but you will be of great help to nature.
