‘Most people have adopted environmentally friendly practices at home’. Do you agree? Climate change, water shortage, and animal extinction are environmental issues that are plastered across newspapers like writing on the wall, serving as a reminder for what is to come if we do not heed the cry of Mother Nature. No matter how hard erudite environmentalists indefatigably try to emphatically promulgate the importance of protecting the environment, their voices consistently go unheard. I believe that most people have not adopted environmentally friendly practices at home. Some people have a parochial mindset and operate under the assumption that environmental issues are peripheral to their own problems in life. Secondly, some individuals are unaware of how the environment’s condition is deteriorating.

An individual could only be well-versed in the matters that he or she is interested in, such as gaming or decorating his or her own social media page, and thus this ignorance in matters of the environment would not galvanise the individual to protect the environment starting from his or her own home due to the individual’s inability to recognise the urgency of it. With the myopic view of the world that these individuals have buoyantly adopted, no initiative would have been taken to protect the environment starting from his or her home. It is disappointing to say that the reason most people do not adopt environmentally friendly practices a
