Cristina Zenato Instagram – Earth Day, April 22nd, 2024: a reflection.
I will not share the most fantastic action I completed today because I won’t complete anything spectacular.
While these days are excellent reminders of what is essential in our life, I prefer to complete small daily actions to mitigate my presence on this planet.
Repeated actions have a significant impact and cost little in terms of time and attention, making it easier to implement a few in our routine.
Some of my day-to-day routine includes cleaning only with white vinegar, baking soda, and alcohol, with zero use of poisons, even when I have a few pests in the apartment (after all, we live in the tropics, so they are not entirely avoidable), using canvas bags for grocery shopping, avoid single-use – fill in the blank both in the house (wipes, paper towels) and outside (to go coffee – take out) or clean up the little corner of the planet we use, be the beach, the forest or even the street we live on. The impact we have changes from place to place in the world, depending on location, the presence of recycling or not, and many other factors; however, what doesn’t change is that Earth Day is every day; we need to remember there is no Planet B.
