The bucket bath challenge

• Did you know that a standard showerhead flows at
  an estimated rate of 9.25 litres per minute? This
  means that a ten-minute shower uses up to
  approximately 94 litres of water. You can do the
  math for a family of four or five who perhaps
  shower twice daily. An easy way to reduce water
  wastage is to take shorter showers (which,
  contrary to many peoples beliefs, is more than
  possible). One way you can ensure this is by
  installing special low-flow showerheads that use
  comparatively less water. Alternatively, you can
  opt for the good old-fashioned bucket bath,
  measure your douses by the mug, and prevent water
  waste. 
• Similarly, you can replace the hose with a bucket
  and sponge to make your car washing ritual more
  sustainable.

Watch your plastic usage

• The all-pervasive plastic has permeated every
  part of our life, and often we end up using and
  wasting a lot more plastic without realizing it.
  One pro tip that can help you reduce your plastic
  usage is never leaving your house without
  reusable bags, whether you prefer cotton, jute or
  compostable. You could also flaunt an MG
  merchandise tote bag to rep your green thumb
  wherever you go. 
• From sustainable clothing brands, to eco-friendly
  hygiene products there are several little ways
  that can help you make better choices everyday.
  Adopting habits like carrying your own water
  bottle and using reusable straws can reduce your
  use of single-use plastic. With several
  zero-waste stores in the country such
  as Code, EcoIndian, Adrish, Bare Necessities,
  and Green Mantra, you can indulge in a guilt-free
  shopping experience.

Start a mini compost at home

• Do you feel guilty every time you see the waste
  that is generated daily in your household? To
  reduce the volume of waste that piles up in
  landfills and pollutes the environment with
  methane, you can turn kitchen waste into
  gardening gold. Using kitchen scraps, peels and
  leftovers, start a backyard or balcony compost in
  a bin. This homemade compost is excellent for
  enriching garden soil, reducing the need for
  chemical fertilizers, and helping retain soil
  moisture in plants. Its perfect for anyone who
  loves gardening projects and has a home garden.

Read labels carefully

• Making the extra effort of reading labels on the
  products you buy can go a long way in encouraging
  conscientious shopping. For instance, if you love
  coffee, its a good idea to look for
  shade-grown coffee, which is grown without
  endangering forest habitats. Buying organic,
  local produce, or fair-trade can not only
  minimize your carbon footprint but can also help
  grow small businesses. Similarly, Energy Star
  ratings certify products that are energy
  efficient. Theres plenty of information
  available for you to learn more about sustainable
  brands if you truly want to make an impact
  through your actions.
