UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) And I

The 17 Sustainability Development Goals revolve around five subjects: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership.
As an individual, I need to consciously make decisions that affect the environment positively like carpooling, rooftop farms/potted plants, solar panels, backyard poultry, buying locally made goods, reducing and composting of waste, buying energy efficient tools and utensils, refusing corruption etc.

My family is my basic sphere of influence and values taught at home especially to children should be earth-friendly. Teaching children proper waste disposal, recycling, gardening; or to wash their hands regularly; encouraging them in vocational training like catering is important.

In my workplace I can advocate investment in locally owned business for production of raw materials; gender equality and maternal rights; energy efficient practices; recycling; less use of paper; increased health and well-being awareness; innovative methods of carrying out Corporate Social Responsibility.

Change starts with me; it does indeed.
