Highlights

As we continue enduring the pandemic, people are wondering what could be “the new” this New Year’s Eve.
Every year on New Year’s Eve the emissions increase drastically. Thus, it becomes our responsibility to sustainably celebrate 2022’s New Year’s.
A sensible “new” would be to try going green.

New year is right there standing at your doorstep. Every year we try doing something new to make a fresh start for a new year. So, this year also we should continue the beautiful tradition.

Wondering what could be “the new” this New Year’s Eve? Maybe this time you can try going green. The year 2021 was special as we had the long awaited COP26. Besides, we all realise that it is significant for all of us to reduce our per capita carbon footprints.

Every year on New year or on any other celebration, the emissions increase drastically. Thus, it becomes our responsibility to sustainably celebrate 2022’s New Year’s Eve.

How can one become sustainable?

DIY is the champion: Firstly, you can try DIY for decorating your house. So, rather than purchasing new products for decoration; maybe you could try reusing the things you already have in store. This way you reuse your products, save money, and produce less waste into the environment.
Go meatless this New Year’s Eve: Excessive meat consumption affects our environment and the ecosystem. Thus, maybe this New Year’s Eve you can try going meatless. Explore vegetarianism and see how tasteful your New Year’s Eve can be without including meat in your meals.
Say no disposals: This is another major issue seen on New Year’s Eve celebrations. A lot of food and drinks are consumed in disposals. And, because of which tonnes of plastic waste is produced in the environment. Thus, this eve you should ditch disposals and look for more sustainable dishes.

Be conscious of the waste: Garbage produced from each house post New Year’s Eve is so much more than the normal days. Why is that so? Because we get careless while partying. But you know what, you can be carefree and conscious at the same time too. So, be cautious of the waste you are producing.

Sustainability and fun can go hand in hand at the same time. Maybe you should try this combination this New Year’s Eve. And, guess what, you’d feel super happy and content after seeing how much fun you had on the eve without disturbing the environment.
