Every year, people do more and more harm to the environment. By causing harm to nature, people also reduce the quality of their lives. There are some simple tips that can be applied to improve living standards and harm nature in smaller quantities.
Instructions
Step 1
Use energy saving bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs, which consume about 4 times more electricity than the former. The high cost of such lamps pays off very quickly due to their low power consumption and long service life.
Step 2
Use cloth bags instead of bags. Avoid the free packages offered in stores and supermarkets reasonably. Reuse existing packages to avoid buying new ones all the time. This applies to both small and large packages.
Step 3
Use reusable containers instead of disposable ones. When choosing products, buy, if possible, those that are not in plastic packaging. It is best to purchase products that are packed in a cardboard box. This applies to milk, kefir, eggs and cereals.
Step 4
Use rechargeable batteries instead of batteries, as you will have to throw them away much less often. Take empty glass bottles, used paper, energy-saving lamps and used batteries to specialized collection points.
Step 5
Save natural resources. Turn off lights, water, gas, household appliances if there is no need to use them at the moment.
Step 6
Clean up your trash after having a picnic with friends. Take with you waste, food leftovers, empty bottles, pieces of paper, disposable dishes, etc. It is best to bury or burn organic waste there.
Step 7
Choose an artificial tree instead of a living tree for the New Year. Every year, on the eve of the New Year holidays, millions of trees and pines are cut down. And after two weeks they are thrown into a landfill. Keep in mind that these trees grow only 40 cm per year.
Step 8
Choose clothes and shoes made from natural materials. Remember that making from synthetics takes a lot of natural resources. And the recycling process in this case is quite difficult and long.
Step 9
Do not use a private car unnecessarily. Practice walking. Automotive exhaust fumes are highly polluting, especially in large cities. Taking this into account and adhering to this advice, you will, at least a little, but still reduce emissions to the atmosphere. And walking in the fresh air will have a positive effect on your health.
Step 10
Treat paper with care. Remember that hundreds of trees are cut down to make it. Use electronic media whenever possible. Print on both sides of the sheet. Before throwing away an unnecessary notebook, tear out all available blank sheets of paper so that you can use them later, if necessary.
