Environmentally Friendly

Understanding the true meaning of what it means to be environmentally friendly.  Before starting to know what it means to be environmentally friendly, let’s break down the two terms. Environment and Being Environment Friendly. Having said that, a question may arise, do we really need to know about the definition of Environment today? Since most people may know about environmental-friendly measures, but few truly grasp what that term entails, now is an appropriate time for us all to pause and reflect upon it more seriously and understand exactly what being environmentally conscious entails. Environment refers to our living circumstances as humans and all living beings share this planet together, such as living creatures, water bodies, air masses, and land masses. Furthermore, two elements exist – Biotic and Abiotic elements. Biotic includes animals plants forests fisheries, and birds while Abiotic encompasses elements like sunlight rocks, and air. 

According to the Britannica Encyclopedia, “It is the complex of physical, chemical and biotic factors that act upon an organism or an ecological community and ultimately determine its form and survival” It simply means what surroundings a living or non-living being is.

Shall we know about the true definition of Environment friendly now? Let’s jump into it. Okay, so we can name this term eco-friendly also. In a nutshell, being environmentally friendly is about making decisions every day that help us to educate and not hurt our natural world, ensuring that it remains a vibrant, healthy place for everyone, now and in the future for the coming generations. In a broad sense, this practice refers to not harming nature which links to climate change. As well as cutting down on what we release into the soil, air, and water. In Business, it also determines the way we manufacture, package, and distribute, and how we use them.

The benefits of environmentally responsible are

Doing thorough research on these beneficiary subjects from experience and across the global web we make some bullet points. The benefits you, we, and all those living creatures will get are,

Benefits for other life forms, I will show you data in regards to at least 8 million tons of plastic we throw at sea. At the end of the day, we found it in marine animals whether in their body or sperm. Both literally kill them in a way. Should we continue this? They may live and this is the first benefit.

Nowadays we often forget that because of our air pollution, it can seriously affect animals and birds as it affects us. In some recent case studies, we found air pollution can be even worse for animals than humans. Studies have found that birds in areas with high air pollution often sing less or alter their songs due to the physical strain. Well become more environment friendly we can listen back birds sing. How beautiful, beneficial, and romantic is it?
Now dive into the benefits of an environmentally friendly business. Well, it is now a responsibility that everyone needs to rise to. At first, it will increase the credibility of your business. Reputation is worth billions in the business world. You may attract Investors and good-hearted employees than your competitors. For me, a cool benefit is you will get a break from some taxes from your respective government. statistics have clearly shown that eco-friendly businesses stand a chance to attract more customers and increase their sales volume as more people join the green movement. The demand for green products gets even higher. It will be breaking news if you are a US citizen and tend to start a fully environment-friendly business in the US.

For example, Govt various agencies like the U.S. Environment Protection Agency and the Appalachian Regional Commission may grant technical and information tools for your business. In 2024 the U.S. government has launched a $2.5 billion fund to transmit the facilitation program to modernize and expand the capacity of America’s power grid.

To advance the domestic bioeconomy and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions you may get grants and loan guarantees from U.S. governmental agencies easily to boost your environment/eco-friendly business.

Best environment-friendly practices in day-to-day life

So heading towards the discussion of how we can practice environment-friendly chores and habits in our day-to-day life. I have spent enough time across the global web to educate myself on what actually people will get if they want to know what the key bullet points to implement in their day-to-day lives if someone really wants to be environment friendly. Well, I am a little disappointed. As a researcher and an active activist in global warming and climate change topics, I think the right solution is not available. So I decided to guide something differently to my reader by showing some practical proven models. These models are invented, created, and implemented by humans so you don’t need to get worry.

Permission to start. First I will recommend a book, a really simple book named Simply Green: Easy, Money Saving Tips for Eco-friendly Families written by Melissa Seligman, ‎and David Seligman in sharp 2012. You can read this book in your free time. Trust me it will give you knowledge about fun, romance, and eco-related topics. Let’s go for the model that I was talking about earlier.

Zero waste productive home in Melbourne – Basically, we will focus on our food production system at a glance. I think readers may agree with me at this point because everything we do is for food at first. This is our survival’s main factor. And our food system is the most destructive human activity on earth. I will say a person decade’s activity history named Joose Bakker works as a Zero Waste Advocate in Australia. He owns a house that is zero-waste productive self-made and a restaurant that is also a zero-waste productive restaurant made by himself. He tried this for decades and guess what he is the most fascinating man on earth for me. Don’t worry my readers don’t need to try anything for decades. We are not that complex. Just trying to show you some examples if it fascinates you also.

So here we are again. Dunno if this try will help you or not but we guess at least your heart will melt to give this lifestyle a shot.

What are the challenges we face to live an Environment friendly, Healthy life?

After investing time in media, and other sources, and with the help of proven experience by getting from a developing country like Bangladesh we must say there is only one challenge to living an environment-friendly life. And that is the Mindset. Trust us, if you set your mind that you will not hurt the environment any day then there are only 0 challenges ahead of you. Once arguing with a Ph.D. holder of a natural energy resource I pointed out something like he would ask that “solar energy setup is hugely costly and it will take many acres of land to generate electrical power for a medium-sized country”. Later I said to him “Then go for a single house. If everyone uses solar panels on their rooftop then do you need acres of land?” Well, the key point is just the mindset. In today’s economic superpowers like the U.S. Great Britain, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Saudi Arabia, and so many other countries are trying to increase their investment in sustainable development goals. Big investors doing what not to start more and more environment-friendly businesses and activities. Social activists across the world are relentlessly trying to reach out to you just to convince you and their constant slogan is Let not harm the climate, Let’s breathe with fresh air. Now after putting so much information if our readers need so much artificial knowledge like the other authors then mail us. We know very well how to write an article just within a minute, and how to bypass AI detection.
In a nutshell, witness recent data on some parts of our environment,

Eco-friendly vs Environment-friendly

Okay, so this term is trending these days. We will try to break down on this topic further. Basically both the phrases “Eco” and “Environment” stand for the same meaning. In bold words, Eco-friendly is the specific term for being environmentally friendly. When you use and abide by the laws and regulations of eco friendly then you will eventually become an environment-friendly life form. But on a daily life basis, we can differentiate them. Having quoted on that, we will try to educate you shortly in infographics. But later we will publish a brief and detailed data-driven post on this topic.

Top Environment-friendly ideas that will change the world

When it comes to sustainable energy policy, it is of course about switching to the non-polluting and less expensive renewable alternative. So, how far has the world progressed in that direction since the global movement for decarbonization started? Frankly speaking, not much. This little statement has come out in the Financial Express newspaper, It is true that 60% of the world’s energy is still generated from fossil fuels. The United States, for instance, had 59% of its power from fossil fuels. China’s share was 65%, India’s 75%, Japan’s 63%, Poland’s 57%, and so on. Having said that, what will we do when fossil fuel sources are almost used? Big issue. Isn’t it? We should be careful to have time. Let’s see how some countries have increased their use of fossil fuels. According to the data from the Statistical Review of World Energy Worldwide, Specifically, there has been a 58.6% increase in the overall use of fossil fuels, with oil consumption rising by 34.2%, natural gas by 86.7%, and coal by 72.7%. We believe that very soon we are going to exhaust our entire reserves of fossil fuels. Before coming up with some ideas let’s take a look at how different countries are already trying to move away from fossil fuel use. According to Reuters, Europe’s power producers generated more electricity from coal for the first time in the last quarter of 2023. Europe’s utilities generated 193 electricity awards from Winstead in October to December Window in 2023, compared to 184 terawatts from coil-powered power plants.

Data from Think Tank Amber shows, Regardless of the state of European industrial consumption and activity in 2024, Power developers are expected to ratchet up wind power project construction and grid connection in 2024, especially within key markets such as Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, and Denmark.

According to S&P Global, Germany plans a tender for 8 gigawatts of new offshore capacity in 2024. While Denmark is expected to begin auctions for a total of nine GW of offshore projects this year, France will also boost its wind power footprint over the coming year or so through the support of the construction of two floating wind farms with a collective capacity of up to 280 megawatts of the South Coast. Serbia securing a whopping 2.2 billion dollars in investments from China for renewable energy facilities is a remarkable feat. China has reportedly agreed to invest €2 billion in Serbia, the largest investment in renewable energy in the country to date. The investment will be used to construct wind and solar power plants, as well as a hydrogen production facility. This information has also been confirmed by Serbia’s mining and energy ministry. According to a report by the Financial Express, the government of Bangladesh has stated its intention to raise $15 billion over the next five years to fund climate action initiatives aimed at creating a more resilient and climate-smart Bangladesh. These reports clearly prove that every country today is paying attention to green energy, sustainable development, and eco-friendly business.
Green bricks can be a sustainable solution for Environment-friendly ideas that can change the world. Reason? Generally speaking, brick kilns that are in general require the acquisition of a large amount of land, secondly, the main fuel wood of the brick kilns, which is directly harmful to the environment, and first of the harmful aspects of the environment, the fumes that are released after burning the cards directly harm the environment. If we take the example of Bangladesh alone, a report by a developing country found that 6.4 million tonnes of carbon are emitted annually from conventional brick kilns alone.
If a government feels the need to adopt environmentally friendly policies, ensure that the action is timely and swift. Britain’s top climate change advisory, as per AFP, has accused Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of sending mixed signals and creating the perception of slowing down equipment ambition just when they were trying to emphasize the need for renewed action. The Climate Change Committee has further stated that the country’s leadership image on this issue has taken a hit since Sunak’s speech in September, where he halted several Net Zero initiatives. What we mean here is that if the steps required are to create an environment-friendly world and change the world to become environment-friendly from greenhouse gas emissions then any environment-friendly steps taken by the government should be implemented and adopted very quickly. Could be an idea.
Organize an international tourism fair in multiple countries. At present, the highest number of tourists in the world can be observed in the places where the environment is affected the most. We believe that the latter will help them to implement their respective positions. Because you will not only feel the need to be eco-friendly when you have the opportunity to feel good about being in the environment.
Another idea emphasizes the importance of recycling plastic products since they are essential for the environment’s development and cannot be entirely avoided. For example, what is the United States per capita plastic use per year? It is around 150 kg. So we should now find a scientific way of easy and low-cost term plastic recycling as soon as possible so that people from all walks of life can benefit themselves and also keep the environment eco-friendly.

Belongings you consider environment-friendly

There are so many things that we consider as environment-friendly or eco-friendly. Some of them are countable, some of them don’t need any education and some of them need to be reshuffled. As we said earlier we need to go through a process, a process which leads us to become climate-friendly, and at the end of the day it gives us our nature back. We need to put a lot of emphasis on this matter. Let’s check out what we can discuss in this section.
Okay first, don’t just jump into recycling. Don’t recycle everything you think could be not or less harmful to nature. Recycling is a broad and scientific matter. Without having proper knowledge don’t just make the short jump into recycling everything. Some day ago we found out that a lady was trying to recycle her pad and convert this into ashes. Well her intention was pretty good but she didn’t have proper knowledge about the percentage of elements that will fly in the air. You can search recycling facilities nearby if you’re an American citizen. We will bring a resourceful article on this topic later.
Permission for the second one, If you think conventional cotton is eco eco-friendly product then you are wrong. According to Textile Exchange Organic cotton creates 46% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than conventional cotton simply by not using nitrous oxide-releasing fertilizers and pesticides.
Third, if you think buying new sustainable products that you already own is mitigating natural pollution problems then you are perhaps wrong. If you have used existing products please use them for their full life extent or reuse them if you could.
Well, this is our discussion for now on this topic. We will bring a dedicated well-researched article on those discussed points and also on our food system which is a way more complex system, we will discuss vegan, organic, local or International environmental systems and also discuss compostable and biodegradable stuff in the landfill which should not be in recycle bin.

Is the Environment innocent a scam?

This part is tricky. Honestly, this question arises when some dishonest businessmen start doing business dishonestly. Every now and then we come across businessmen who turn a healthy competition into a sick one. Let’s take a look at how it started and how it’s going till now.
Over the years this topic of eco-friendly has become more popular and it is really great because every person has become eco-friendly in their own way and seeing this place some companies come up with 2 things which are greenwashing and green marketing.
Tests have shown that more than 90 percent of products found in retail markets in the US, Australia, Canada, and the UK use eco-friendly tricks to boost sales and cheat consumers. Well, have we ever thought about whether the products we buy inside the eco-friendly market are actually wrapped in plastic? Well, have we ever thought that all the car-selling companies claim that their cars are eco-friendly but inside they don’t use any bypass machines? Several American companies have already been sued for this fraud, and according to the Wall Street Journal, over the past five years, sales in the U.S. market using eco-friendly products have increased by 30%, which equates to $268 billion.

The list of cases also included a case against H&M, the world’s largest clothing retailer.

A carbon offset is a policy that means if a company emits carbon while manufacturing a product, then that company has to spend an equal amount of money on the environment under the carbon offset policy so that the environment is not adversely affected. For example, planting trees and financing projects such as wind power under the carbon offset of that company.

Anyway, critics said the carbon offset policy is weak. Eventually, all these activities are in fact opposed to the environmentally friendly movement, and in practical terms, it feels like a scam which we need to be very aware of.

Myths of Environment

We will try to research this topic in detail and come up with a full informative article in the future but today we want to talk about some very important lies. One of the reasons we have come up with this top blog is to provide accurate and informative ideas to our readers so that they can be at least somewhat aware of everything and start living their environmentally friendly lives.

Where climate scientists really do agree?

A recent review found that most ecologists and environmental scientists agree on some points. We will bring a detailed informative discussion in the very near future. But some relatively important issues can be talked about today. The main point we see is that the world is getting warmer very soon because of humans. We also see our weather and seasons change very quickly. Ocean warming. Rapid melting of sea ice and sea level rise. Most ecologists and environmental scientists agree on these relative points and we will discuss these matters in detail in another article in the near future.

In essence

Actually, the only meaning of these complete articles is that we can give our readers an accurate and informative review. Especially when a review comes up about the environment, readers don’t understand the whole thing unless it is discussed in detail. That defeats its original purpose. Readers may say they don’t have time to read such a long text. But we request you to read our article from beginning to end. Try to see what we mean and if you have any chance to implement it in your life, do so. Planet and Power’s main objective is to discuss all things related to the environment and inform readers about the latest issues. Of course accurately and informatively we will continue to conduct this activity in the future. We want this environment to be this world for everyone. We don’t want people to go to the forest and join the sister animal society.
Feel free to email us directly or contact us via social media to express any feedback about our writing. We always look forward to hearing from our readers.

Thanks, see you in the next post.
