To me, sustainability means living carefully so we don’t waste things today and leave nothing for our future generations. It is about changing our mindsets—moving away from throwing things away carelessly and instead learning to take care of our environment.

The sustainable habit I practice every day is using solid shampoo, conditioner, and soap bars instead of buying liquids in plastic bottles. This practice is very helpful for the environment because it reduces plastic waste. Most liquid shampoos are mostly just water, which makes them heavy to transport, burning more fuel. By using solid bars, I completely avoid plastic bottles since these bars come in simple, recyclable paper wrappers.

I first started this habit two years ago during a cleaning campaign. I saw so many old plastic bottles dumped around, and it made me feel very sad.

A friend then showed me her solid shampoo bar. That was the moment I realized how much plastic waste I was creating just from my morning shower, and I decided to change.

I feel everyone should try this practice because it is very easy and makes a big difference. These bars last much longer than liquid soaps, so they save money too. It is a small change in our daily lives, but if all of us do it together, we can keep our beautiful environment clean and free from plastic pollution.
