The Problem:

The Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (UNSDG) has Clean Water and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, Climate Action, Life Below Water, and Life on Land, amongst its 17 important goals for our beloved planet earth.

Furthermore, according to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Water, Deforestation, Food, Energy, Transportation, Water and Global Warming are the World’s 6 most pressing environmental issues.

The Solution – How Can You Help?

To enable the UNSDG or UNFCCC’s brilliant goals, which would greatly benefit our children and future generations to come, we as individuals, citizens of earth, must contribute actively to these sustainability efforts.

We can start contributing tremendously today, by simply reducing our carbon footprint through swapping or renting items, instead of regularly buying and dumping items, that eventually ends up creating hazardous environments for all living organisms, with our future generations destined to inherit a less habitable earth.

Benefits of Swapping or Renting Items:

Swapping or Renting items do not only decrease our carbon footprint as it also;

*Contributes to the preservation of water quality, which in turn creates a huge positive impact on marine life, as we would have fewer items to dump.

The preservation of water quality also helps curb water supply problems for our population due to degradation caused by our dumps, which increasingly fills our rivers, seas, and oceans with toxic pollutants. Remember that what happens at sea doesn’t stay at sea, thus, when we dump our stuffs instead of swapping or renting, we invariably pollute the food we eat.

*Contributes to actively curbing deforestation. When we swap or rent items, we buy fewer items, and when we buy fewer items, fewer items are eventually produced, which in-turn saves materials that are used, where wood as a production material is heavily present in most of our items.

Deforestation is a serious threat to our planet earth. Forests provide vital protection from flooding, sandstorms; provides food, and also provides a substantive natural habitat for wildlife, which keeps the human ecosystem vibrant/alive.

Most importantly, forests are amongst our vital resources for offsetting some of our outrageous carbon emissions, where without the canopy provided by forests, we leave areas vulnerable to intense heat, further driving climate change.

*Contributes to the conservation of energy. Most of the energy we use comes from non-renewable resources, eg Oil, and in the course of converting non-renewable resources into energy, we’re releasing all kinds of toxic gases directly into the atmosphere, driving climate change and creating a hazardous environment for all living beings.

By swapping or renting items, we can greatly reduce our energy usage and corresponding responsibility for fossil fuel usage and the generated emissions.

Swapping or Renting is truly an individual adopted earth-saving measure!

*Contributes greatly to the reduction of waste, as most of our stuffs are made using finite resources, with environmentally destructive practices, only to be used for a relatively short amount of time, before being tossed into landfills.

With most of our stuffs being non-recyclable, this poses a significant danger to our earth and determines the kind of planet our future generations would inherit from us
