It
has become a pretty unique fad among the eccentric power elite to
engage in “urban harvesting” or “urban scavenging.” This
involves going throughout the city in which you live and picking
fruit from the trees and harvesting small, city gardens of their
fruit. It means that you find fruit and vegetables in the most
unlikely of places and that you scavenge whatever you can get your
hands on. You have to go a long distance to get a lot of food, but it
is certainly a way of surviving and demonstrating eco social
responsibility if you live in a large city.
Of
course, not everyone wants to shy away from their weekly trips to the
grocery store. After all, it saves time and physical energy which
could otherwise be used to scavenge in the city, and what you have
gathered may not cover all of the energy you burned throughout the
day. In this respect, scavenging may actually end up costing much
more than it gives, but it still contributes majorly to using our
planet in a responsible way.
In
fact, many people do not realize how each individual action they make
impacts a total of ten people outward from their circle of influence.
That is ten layers deep for every tiny action a person creates. That
is huge, and it really adds up over time. What many people do not
realize is that, even if their actions are done in private and nobody
sees them, they still impact ten layers deep of people around them.
We are all creating this world around us at the same time. We are all
using our influence to affect the world in which we live, even if the
initial action was done in private.
At
Envirosafe Solutions, we understand the nature of private actions
adding up to big social change. You probably won’t advertise to
your clients that you use eco
friendly toilet
bowl cleaner from Envirosafe Solutions, but the fact that you
spend money on and invest in the environment makes huge social
change. More actions create more waves. To learn more about the
