It can\u2019t be avoided. The device that you are reading this on right now is powered by the very same resources that are depleting the atmosphere. Sigh.<\/p>\n<h5>The Scale of the Problem<\/h5>\n<p>The United Nations (UN) reports that nearly 500 million hectares (about 2 million square miles) of once-fertile land are abandoned. Land degradation compounds larger problems like climate change and global poverty. Desertification, a form of land degradation, threatens communities around the world. A large portion of this ties back to unsustainable agriculture. Today, the UN has set up a special task force to combat desertification and even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/blog\/2017\/06\/help-preserve-land-our-home-and-future-un-urges-on-world-day-to-combat-desertification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">given it a special day<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The last half century paints a scary picture of a future unrestrained. Water demand is projected to increase 55% by 2050, shooting fresh water management to the top of the environmental priority list. With 70% of global fresh water used for agriculture, you can see how efforts to conserve water by managing your morning and bedtime routine are only the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>If you are freaking out a bit, hold on. Channel your Ujjayi breath, the victorious breath because we are an innovative and resilient species. And the yoga community is a group of doers. Reductionism is the key, but how can we rein it in? To borrow the phrase, it will be a little bit inconvenient, but here are some ideas to bring some joy to the effort:<\/p>\n<h5>1. Calculate your carbon footprint<\/h5>\n<p>Keeping track of your carbon footprint serves two purposes. First, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carbonfootprint.com\/calculator.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">calculators like this one<\/a> provide vital information that can help make informed decisions. Second, in addition to lifestyle changes, you can also find opportunities to offset your carbon footprint by planting trees.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suryalila.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Suryalila Retreat Centre<\/a> in Andalusia, Spain recently launched a program for guests to offset their carbon footprint from travel by donating money to plant trees on their expansive property. For example, air travel round-trip from the UK adds up to about four trees. You can donate money to plant in those trees in the <a href=\"http:\/\/danyadara.com\/donate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Danyadara <\/a>food forest on the property.<\/p>\n<h5>2. Get some chickens<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5804 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chickens-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"environment\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chickens-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chickens-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chickens-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chickens-624x415.jpg 624w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chickens.jpg 1352w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Just three chickens will convert all of your food scraps into useful fertilizer and provide you with fresh eggs. If everyone owned three chickens, we could really put a dent in the agriculture problem. Around 5 billion eggs are thrown out from grocery stores because they are passed the date of sale. Also, chickens are really chill.<\/p>\n<h5>3. Responsible toilet use<\/h5>\n<p>You\u2019ve heard \u201cif it\u2019s yellow, let it mellow\u201d and that is a real thing. On average, households in the west use around 2 billion litres daily. You can help this out by limited flushing, updating your toilet and using a bucket to capture rain and shower water to use for a freebee flush here and there.<\/p>\n<h5>4. Use natural soap<\/h5>\n<p>These days you don\u2019t even need to go full-on DIY to avoid chemicals and havoc-wreaking \u201cbeads\u201d in your bath. Cosmetic companies like <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.lush.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lush<\/a> offer shampoo bars, challenging the idea that shampoo must not be like soap and must come in a plastic bottle. The company also sells Charity Pot, a lotion that contributes to a donation pool for growing non-profit organizations.<\/p>\n<h5>5. Only do full loads of wash<\/h5>\n<p>We\u2019ve all been there. No clean pants and you end up \u201cjust throwing a few things in.\u201d You don\u2019t have to! There is another way. If you keep a bucket in the shower (same bucket is a-okay), you can use this store of clean water for washing underwear and yoga clothes. Hang them to dry for longer-lasting garments and less energy use.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5807 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/washing-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"environment\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/washing-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/washing-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/washing-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/washing-624x416.jpg 624w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/washing.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>6. Sign up for a challenge<\/h5>\n<p>Organised events like bike to work month, zero waste for 30 days and eat local challenges are popping up all over. Instagram is also a great place to find a broader community to complete a challenge with. If you can\u2019t find one, think about starting a new one in your community.<\/p>\n<h5>7. Be aware of where your food comes from<\/h5>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to \u201cnever\u201d eat avocados or quinoa, but be aware of how far these products travel before they reach your plate and what that means for the environment. Think moderation. So many of the \u201csuperfoods\u201d cannot be found locally and this trend is doing damage across global populations. The same should apply if you choose to consume meat products.<\/p>\n<h5>8. Buy local<\/h5>\n<p>Once you know, you can make informed decisions about what you consume. Buying products that are produced locally and food from local farmers\u2019 markets are a great way cut transportation costs and encourage the growth of small, sustainable businesses in your community.<\/p>\n<h5>9. Grow your own<\/h5>\n<p>There are all kinds of ways to grow your own produce. Raised beds, rooftop gardens and community spaces are great for the new gardener. There are tons of how-tos around the web. Keep in mind that many bugs are you friends and look into planting flowers that invite these healthy critters to your plot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5805 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/grow-veg-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"environment\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/grow-veg-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/grow-veg-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/grow-veg-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/grow-veg-624x416.jpg 624w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/grow-veg.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>10. Compost<\/h5>\n<p>More on creepy crawlies. Worms are amazing composters. Vermiculture, the technical term for the activity, is possible in small-scale bins in the tiniest apartments. Use the compost to help maintain your healthy, vibrant garden.<\/p>\n<h3>Here\u2019s your challenge:<\/h3>\n<p>Pick one (or more) of these and implement it in your daily life.
