With regard to environmental protection, both individuals and businesses have an important role to play. The following environmental actions are expressed and summarised in points from both individual and corporate perspectives:
I. Individual Environmental Actions
Conserve resources
Reduce energy consumption: walk, cycle or use public transport as much as possible, and reduce travelling by private car; use home appliances reasonably to avoid unnecessary standby and waste; use energy-saving light bulbs and energy-saving equipment.
Conserve water: Repair leaky taps and pipes; shorten bathing time; use a broom instead of water to flush the floor; use laundry water to flush the toilet, etc.
Rubbish Separation and Reduction
Actively participate in waste separation and understand and comply with local waste separation policies.
Reduce the use of single-use plastic products, such as plastic bags and bottles.
Purchase environmentally friendly products to support sustainable development.
Green Living
Purchase organic food to reduce the impact of pesticides and chemical fertilisers on the environment.
Support green energy, e.g. solar energy, wind energy, etc.
Participate in environmental activities such as tree planting.
Refuse wildlife products
Protect biodiversity by not buying, eating or using wildlife products.
Environmental Awareness Education
Pass on environmental awareness to family members, friends and colleagues and encourage them to participate in environmental actions together.
Second, the enterprise environmental protection action
Energy Saving and Emission Reduction
Update equipment and choose energy-saving equipment: e.g. use energy-efficient equipment such as LED lights to reduce energy consumption.
Do a good job of energy-saving management: rational planning of space design, use of natural light sources and the regulation of artificial light sources; regular inspection and maintenance of equipment to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and the reduction of energy consumption.
Reduce the generation of waste products
Reduce the waste of raw materials: Improve the production process and reduce the use of raw materials.
Ensure waste products are fully utilised: classify waste products, recycle those that can be recycled, and select recycling organisations for centralised recycling of those that cannot be reused.
Promote green products
Produce environmentally friendly products: Adjust the production process and formula of products to produce green products that meet environmental standards.
Promote green services: such as promoting electronic invoices and online payment to reduce the impact on the environment.
Reduce pollutant emissions
Installation of purification equipment: purify and treat waste gas and waste water to reduce the concentration of emissions.
Environmental Protection Promotion and Activities
Organise environmental activities to raise the environmental awareness of employees and the public.
Promote environmental protection concepts through corporate websites, social media and other channels to create an environmentally friendly atmosphere.
In summary, both individuals and enterprises are capable of playing an active role in environmental protection. Through concrete actions and measures, together we can contribute to the protection of the earth’s environment and the realization of sustainable development.
