Yes, we need to ensure a clean and hygienic environment. Cleanliness is an important factor that enhances good health. To ensure eco-life hygiene, we engage in various practices in our environment, such as: cutting down and burning bushes, cleaning drainages, burning refuse, etc. However, if not properly handled, some of these hygienic practices cause more harm to the ecosystem.

The ecosystem is the recipient of every human activity. Either the ecosystem is improved through those activities or the quality of Life in it is minimized or below acceptable standards. The reason for the continuous unfriendly hygienic practices on the environment is the absence of knowledge of the effect of some of these practices on the environment. Therefore it is not out of place to identify some of these practices and how they affect the ecosystem.

Ecolife Hygiene Practices That Are Not Eco-Friendly

One major practice aimed at keeping the environment clean is cutting down trees and clearing bushes and grasses. However, there's a need to regulate these practices. When grasses are cleared, trees cut down; the topsoil is exposed to erosion.

Also, because these plants produce the air(oxygen) we breathe in as Individuals inform, we limit to the nearest minimum these activities. To the nearest minimum, because of truth, we'll always have to clear the bushes around us also to ensure our safety from creeping and harmful reptiles and animals. However, there's a need for regulations on this cutting down of bushes and trees. The cutting of trees is particularly done in Forests. This activity increases earth's temperature, disturbing the water cycle and causing drought.

This second practice usually comes after the first practice mentioned above: burning trees and bushes. Bush burning destroys the organic matter in the soil. When the bush is set on fire, it ends up burning the topmost soil, which is made up of loamy soil, which has a mix of moisture organic decay materials which turns into ashes when burnt, thereby destroying the nutrition content of the same soil. Again, we can't completely take out burning from our hygienic activities. However, we can regulate these practices.

Regulating Burning Practices

As much as we can't exclude burning from our equation, knowing how to go about it is important. Many households scattered in different places handle their waste themselves. They go burning things at different places, making the Ecosystem weak at different places. This can, however, be regulated by creating or building sites solely for burning practices at reasonable intervals in various communities. This will surely limit the scattered effect of bush burning on the environment.

Humans dominate the Earth. However, Humans are not the only actor in the sustainability of the earth, the forest plays a part in that too, so there must be regulations and regulations on the burning of trees that will restrict the overuse of the environment.
