Every little act and decision that we take has a severe impact on the environment. Right from the time we hit the bed to the time we step on the floor, throughout the day, ranging from our routine activities to the products we use, all adversely affect the environment.

Some of our daily habits and product usages affecting the environment are:

• Using harsh/strong products and chemicals
• Increased use of plastic
• Excessive/mismanaged use of natural resources like constant flushing, leaving the taps open while bathing, brushing, cleaning vehicles
• Excessive usage of electronic devices

These are just to enlist a few. The list is indeed endless!

We don't understand and realize that due to our ignorance, there has been an increase in pollution and has also led to disturbances in the ecological balance. This is the reason why there has been

• Extreme climatic and weather changes
• Increase in global warming
• Increase in pollution and increasing health hazards

However, did you know that the common household products that we use pose a threat to us?

• Plastic tops the list
• Microbeads present in face washes, body scrubs, toothpaste,
• Spray deodorants as they release greenhouse gases like hydrocarbons and nitrous oxide
• Detergents which comprise of phosphates
• Chemical Bleach

Seems shocking right? Such common products that are our daily use helpers are actually damaging the environment.

The only feasible solution to resolve this issue is to adopt the usage of green products in our daily chores. Green products refer to the sustainable type of products that are designed to reduce and/or minimize the impact on the environment during its life cycle and even after it's not in use. Such products have two goals:

• To reduce wastage and ensure a cleansed environment
• To maximize resource efficiency

Their USPs are:

• Prepared with non-toxic ingredients and nature-friendly procedures
• Can be reused, recycled
• Biodegradable products
• Have reduced or zilch carbon and plastic emission
• Help save energy and resources
• Have a durable shelf life and are low maintenance
• Devoid of Ozone-depleting chemicals

A simple decision of ours and that one step of replacing the harmful products with its green substitution would in fact work wonders for the environment. One of the simplest examples being replacing normal cars with electric cars.

Using eco-friendly products like:

• Make-up and cosmetic products of brands like The Body Shop which are environment friendly
• Recyclable paper, tissue paper, etc.
• Using the organic variety of fruits and vegetables which is free from pesticides
• Biodegradable and recyclable bags,
  
• Phosphate-free detergent, soaps, cleansers

All we need is a little modification in the designing of the products so that they are environment friendly and a slight change in our preferences so that we use those items that do not destroy our dear mother nature.

An added advantage of using green products is that they come with trustable certifications and hence are safe to use. Additionally, we as consumers won't have to compromise on our lifestyle and choices too.

We at GoGreenSurvey care about nature. We did our bit by taking a major step in this direction- by spreading awareness about the usage of green products. This is one of our programs supporting the various GoGreen initiatives.

Some of our programs supporting the GoGreen initiatives of which you could be a part are:

• Evolving ourselves to save the environment and imbibing the approach that every decision we take should be in favor of the environment
• Create greenery by planting plants both inside the homes as well as outside
• Use green products that are bio-degradable and environment friendly
• Recycle goods so there is reduced wastage

That one wise choice of ours can eventually have a drastic and positive impact on the environment. It can help bring back the greenery, the disrupted ecological balance, and ensure a symbiotic relationship between our mother nature and us!

Unfortunately, we don't have much choice. The damage that has happened so far is irreplaceable. But we can definitely help to reduce its proliferation and increase. The only way in which we can ensure there is no further damage to the environment is by opting for green products. It's either green products or the constant destruction of the environment which will further lead to the destruction rather the end of Homo sapiens too!

A wise choice today or the end sooner or later!
