Protecting the nature requires a contribution smaller than you might have thought. You don’t have to donate large sums of money and you don’t have to participate in revolt movements or a public outcry in order to reduce the level pollution in the city where you live.
- Use fluorescent bulb tubes.
- Turn off your computer every night, or at least, put it in sleep mode.
- When you brush your teeth, don’t let the water run for nothing. This way you can “save” up to 20 liters of water per day.
- When you print something, do it on both sides of the sheet.
- Don’t dry your clothes in a special machine designed for this. The best way of drying is outside.
- Eat, at least once a week, vegetarian food.
- Recycle bottles! Thus, you reduce air pollutions by 20% and the water pollutions by 50%.
- Recycle newspapers and magazines that you no longer read! Don’t throw them in the trash, but go to a processing center. This way you save more than a half a million trees a week.
- Purchase a water filter at home so you don’t need to buy bottled water because these are decomposing very slowly.
- Take showers or bath with your partner to reduce the water consumption.
- Plant a tree!
- Don’t be reticent to second-hand objects or things. They can be much better than new ones.
- Turn off the light when you leave a room more than 10 minutes.
- Recycle old cell phones!
- Put all the clothes and items that you no longer use in a bag and donate them to charity.
- Get rid of plastic bags and don’t use them anymore!
- Use rechargeable batteries!
- Share your knowledge with others, and this will be appreciated in no time!
