Ramadan Special: Encourage and embrace eco friendly practices

This Ramadan go for more natural and less-plastic.Take your own cotton or jute bags while shopping your groceries. Use plastic-free alternatives. Try not to use disposable plates, cutlery, cups, containers, etc. Plant a tree in your garden or plant some flowers. Plan your Iftar and Suhoor meals in advance so that there is no food wastage. Use overripe fruit and veg to make smoothies and soups. Do not litter public places.  The Holy Month is also a great time to unplug from all the devices that we are so used to. This way you will not only save energy but also benefit mentally. Ramadan encourages and embraces “green” and eco-friendly practices.By making small changes, you can make a big difference and help protect the planet.
