Live Greener, Live Better

In line with SDG 13 Climate Action, Live Greener, Live Better is a publicity campaign that advocates for the importance of taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. The project will encourage students to live a “greener” lifestyle by practicing the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) and other eco-friendly alternatives. The introduction of such solutions will give the audience additional ideas on living a “greener” life. Moreover, with the rise of online shopping, the campaign will also include sustainable packaging materials to provide alternatives to those who are selling and trading. This project will also be a way to celebrate Earth Day.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations and are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals that aim to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all by 2030.

Today, let us focus on SDG 13: Climate Action and understand what it seeks to achieve and why it is important.

At a young age, we were already taught what the 3Rs are but how many of us still remember and practice them? ♻️♻️♻️

These 3Rs are not too tedious to do so together let us incorporate them into our lifestyles. Remember, a little goes a long way.

Plastic has been known to be harmful to the environment because it takes many years to decompose.

The pandemic has helped online shopping to thrived. Many of us started to engage in buying, selling, and trading. Because of this, we had to purchase our own packaging materials— many of which are made out of plastic.

Here are some alternatives to our regular packaging materials.

Let’s buy, sell, and trade sustainably! 🤗
