The attention of the whole world is riveted on the issue of environmental pollution. There are various organizations that are engaged in solving this problem and every day they carry out a set of measures for the protection of nature. However, there are a number of simple recommendations, following which each person can help the environment and contribute to solving this global issue.
Instructions
Step 1
Treat water with care, do not waste it. Turn off the tap whenever possible, such as when brushing your teeth or soaping your hair. If funds permit, purchase a dishwasher. Water consumption will immediately become more economical, which will also have a beneficial effect on your budget.
Step 2
Save energy by turning off lights and appliances when you leave home. Replace incandescent bulbs with energy efficient ones. Do not forget to unplug all kinds of chargers from the sockets after using them, because even if they are not connected to the devices, they continue to consume electricity.
Step 3
Use environmentally friendly materials. Avoid plastic bags, get a canvas shopping bag. Give preference to disposable cardboard dishes. Buy organic food. This not only helps to protect the environment, but also has a beneficial effect on your health.
Step 4
Treat paper with care as so many trees are cut down to make it. Use electronic media whenever possible. Print on both sides of the sheet. Carefully look through unnecessary notebooks, notepads, sheets, probably there are still blank areas that can be reused for notes. Buy recycled paper products. Take unnecessary newspapers and magazines to waste paper collection points; you can find out about their location using various Internet resources. Help nature - plant a tree.
Step 5
Always clean up the trash after you: do not throw candy wrappers, pieces of paper and other waste on the street. Teach children to protect the environment from early childhood. When going out into nature, make sure that the place where you have a pleasant time remains clean and tidy after you leave.
Step 6
Treat used batteries responsibly. Do not throw them away, but take them to special collection points. Batteries contain toxic metals that, when released in the city's landfill, eventually enter the soil, causing enormous harm to the environment and human health. Unnecessary or damaged mercury thermometers must also be taken for disposal immediately.
Step 7
Automotive exhaust gases pollute the air very strongly, this problem is especially acute in large metropolitan areas. Give preference to walking, if possible, do not use a private car unnecessarily. Thus, you will at least slightly reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere, and a walk in the fresh air will have a beneficial effect on your health.
