Scientists have found that about 40% of people in the world die from causes somehow related to environmental pollution. These can be contaminated water, soil and air. It may seem to us that our ecology is quite normal and there is no need to panic. But look objectively at the situation - yes, these forests may be enough for us, but will they be enough for our descendants? One person is unlikely to be able to independently solve all environmental problems. But making a personal contribution is not that difficult.
Instructions
Step 1
Accustom yourself to environmentally friendly habits. Always turn off computers, televisions at night. Many household appliances are wasted. Disconnect chargers from phones and cameras from the outlet. Thus, you will reduce the consumed volume of electricity and fuel. Accordingly, harmful emissions into the atmosphere will decrease.
Step 2
Turn off the water when brushing your teeth. The savings will be 15 liters of water per minute. Switch on the washing machine only when the drum is completely filled with water. Showering, not bathing, will reduce your water intake. Let's not say that such elementary things as cleaning up garbage, wherever you are, is a must.
Step 3
Pay attention to recycling. You can take paper to waste paper collection points. Hand over glass bottles. This is not at all a shame - such an act will benefit the planet. Recycling glass reduces air pollution by 20% and water pollution by 50%. Try to use less plastic dishes, do not take plastic bags in stores. Buy several reusable bags and go grocery shopping with them.
Step 4
When cooking food, turn off the gas or the power of the electric stove immediately after the food to be cooked has boiled. This will allow you to cook peacefully without increasing energy costs. Learn to always turn off the light in the room from which you leave. Even if you come back in a couple of minutes.
Step 5
Opt for environmentally friendly transportation. For example, metro or tram. And cycling is good not only for the environment, but also for your own health. Remember that the little things you personally do for the environment will bring tremendous benefits in the future. Live thinking not only about yourself, but also about your planet.
