With 2017 now over, people can start making changes in their lives like making more eco-friendly choices. Plastic bags in groceries, plastic utensils for take-out meals, plastic cups for coffee, and plastic straws for drinks. Choose fruits over chichirya for snacks, eat freshly cooked food over fast food or learn to prepare your own food. Make your own household products. Choosing local products over imported ones means lesser carbon footprint in the transport of goods while also creating bigger demand for our local produce.
