What is Eco-friendly?
In recent years, terms like "going green" and "eco-friendly" have become buzz
words on talk shows, commercials and product packaging. The term "eco-friendly"
has been used for so many different products and practices, its meaning is in
danger of being lost. By understanding the true meaning of eco-friendly, we can
implement the practices that will lead to healthier living for the planet and its
inhabitants, big and small.
Definition
Eco-friendly literally means earth-friendly or not harmful to the environment. This
term most commonly refers to products that contribute to green living or practices
that help conserve resources like water and energy. Eco-friendly products also
prevent contributions to air, water and land pollution. One can engage in eco-
friendly habits or practices by being more conscious of how we use resources.
TES Advocates Eco-friendly Beliefs

Making a truly eco-friendly product keeps both environmental and human safety in
mind. Tungal Elementary School

product that we should be using
must be non-toxic. One eco-
friendly attribute includes the use
of sustainably grown or raised
ingredients, produced in ways that
do not deplete the ecosystem.

The Gulayan Sa Paaralan project of TES are grown without toxic pesticides or

The school also uses products that are made from recycled materials made into
something new such as glass flower vase, metal flower stands and plastic
reclaimed from waste products turned into plant pots.
Segregation of waste materials are done. Biodegradable products are separated

as they break down through natural decomposition, which is less strenuous on
landfills and the ecosystem as a whole. Non-biodegradables are in a separate
container like plastics and bottles and are sold periodically. Sales are used to
purchase additional janitorial supplies.
TES supports the development of eco-friendly habits to help use less and
make the most of what they have.
Here are 10 Steps to Become Eco-friendly:-

1. 3 R’s of Waste Hierarchy: The 3 R’s of waste hierarchy can reduce the amount
of waste generated and improve the waste management processes. Reducing
what is produced and what is consumed can reduce the amount of waste that is
generated. Reuse items for different purposes instead of disposing them off.
Recycle items like aluminum cans, plastic, paper, glass that can be shaped
into a new item.
2. Conserve Water and Electricity: It takes energy to produce fresh water and
electricity. Few simple ways like turning off lights when not in use, fixing
leakages, proper insulation, using maximum daylight, installing energy efficient
windows, purchasing energy efficient gadgets can reduce daily energy
consumption.

3. Plant More Trees: We all know why we need more trees on this planet. They
give us oxygen, fruits, timber, prevent soil erosion, control floods, provide shelter
to wildlife. Massive scale deforestation in last couple of decades has reduced
forest area by significant percentage. Support environmental groups to educate
more people and to plant more trees so as to make this planet clean and eco-
friendly.
4. Protect Local Water Sources: Hazardous waste materials like paint and oil and
other strong chemical solutions should never be disposed on the ground as they will
seep into the groundwater. Support local water conservation groups and fight
against water polluters who dump their industrial waste in rivers.
5. Drive Less, Walk More: A simple and yet more effective way to live eco-friendly
life is to either take public transportation for your daily commuting needs or try
pooling in with your office colleagues to save fuel and reduce carbon footprint. If
your office is couple of miles away from home, you can either start half an hour
early and walk on foot or ride a bicycle.
6. Buy Energy Efficient Products: Energy efficient products with 5 start energy
rating consume less energy and prove to be eco-friendly. For instance, CFL
bulbs consume 40% less energy and last 10 times longer than traditional bulbs.
7. Buy locally Grown Products: When you buy or produce locally grown products,
you are actually reducing your carbon footprint in the form of using less plastic
bags, saving fuel to get vegetables from the market, using less packaged
material. Apart from this, you can also sell surplus to your friends or relatives.
8. Prevent Littering: Litter can originate from construction and demolition sites,
households, industries, uncovered trucks, pedestrians, and moving vehicles.
Littering can have big impact on environment, wildlife and local tourism industry.
Being a responsible citizen, it’s our responsibility to make our cities clean and
impart same education to our kids.
9. Buy Recycled Products: Always look out for recycling symbol when you visit
grocery shop to buy items for your home. That will make you environmentally
responsible and eco-friendly. Also, try to carry grocery bag with you to avoid
buying items in plastic bags that will later end up in landfills.
10. Join Environmental Groups to Combat Pollution: Protecting mother Earth is

everyone’s responsibility including you. The best you can do is to join different
environmental groups in your city and provide helping hand to make this planet
environmentally friendly.
The Eco-friendly Life
Living the eco-friendly life has some advantages and disadvantages. As mentioned
earlier, one of the disadvantages is that may have to forgo some of the more
modern conveniences. Not many, but the conveniences like fast foods and certain
types of luxury activities do little more than create a burden on the environment.

The Eco-friendly Business
Creating an eco-friendly business means you are mindful of the waste products
your business creates, and the way it uses resources to do business. There are
very many options for how you can do packaging and advertising that have a much
lower impact on the environment, use paper packing rather than using plastics.
The Eco-friendly Community
Growing an eco-friendly community is getting easier. There are more and more
community gardens, farmer’s markets that offers organic products, fruits and
vegetables are sold directly from picking the products straight from the backyard or
farms they own.
