Eco-friendly or environmental friendly refers to products, practices, and lifestyles that minimize harm to the environment, conserve natural resources, and reduce carbon footprints. It involves using sustainable materials, reducing waste, and choosing energy-efficient options to protect ecosystems for the future.

While the government is doing little to ensure an eco-friendly environment, the people themselves care less about how natural resources are conserved, or whether waste is recycled. In the pursuit of development and expansion, the rules behind deforestation are flexible, and refuse is dumped without a proper system where it could be recycled or burned. Daily we expel gas into the air from cars, motorcycles, and industries; trees are cut down without a system that encourages the planting of trees. Even waters are contaminated during fishing activities without thinking about the future.

All these activities affect the environment, and it's only a matter of time before we notice the harm caused by our daily activities. While development is encouraged, it is also important to choose options that are energy-efficient to protect the ecosystem for the future. We can encourage this choice by:

Encouraging Afforestation: Planting trees would help reduce the effect of sunlight and provide an environment that's conducive, shielded against thermal effects.

Recycle Waste: The people and government can recycle waste and turn it into useful products instead of discarding it to decay, causing harm to people.

Use Energy-Efficient Appliances: People could learn to use energy-efficient appliances and devices at home to reduce energy consumption.

All these aren't just the work of the government. People should also be deliberate with the decisions they make, which affect the environment as a whole. A little thing we do in regards to energy efficiency can save or heal the world.
