Green Steps
Be Sustainable
Try to avoid plastic bottles – use reusable bottles. Use only one Ihram throughout your Hajj. Buy products from sustainable sources.
Use Less Water for Wudhu
If the quantity of water required for Wudhu is excessive, we can perform Tayammum with sand or earth to be more sustainable in our use of water.
Consider Only Sacrificing 1 Animal Per Family
The high demand for animals during Hajj means farm land is used for animal rearing rather than agricultural produce, which increases the deterioration of farm land in Africa and Asia.
No Single-Use Plastics
When carrying dates or other foods, do not dispose of plastic bags after a single use. Continue to use them throughout your journey or keep your food in a canvas bag.
Perform The Hajj Once In Your Lifetime
The money used to complete the Hajj multiple times could be better used donated to the poor and needy in charitable giving or to help them complete Hajj.
Do Your Best To Keep The Environment Clean
Consider picking up discarded rubbish and disposing of it properly to keep our sacred route as clean as it deserves to be.
Continue To Be Sustainable On your Return
To be a true steward of the Earth you should continue these sustainable steps in your life after Hajj. One method of doing so is to plant a tree and care for it.
