How to help the environment?

Concerned about the environment but feeling overwhelmed by all the issues out there? Feeling discouraged about how you as an individual can really make a difference? Not to worry. Here, I’ve compiled a short list of easy and practical ways to how you can help the environment.

For example, things like walking to the grocery store and using a reel mower will reduce air pollution and energy use, while also reducing the time you spend at the gym! Additionally, if you get your kids to follow your example by using human power more, you can do your part to help reduce child obesity and diabetes.

These are some things we can do to help the environment:

• Prevent energy leaks at home.
• Switch as many bulbs as possible in your home to compact fluorescent bulbs.
• Use a low-flow shower head.
• Plant trees in your yard and community.
• Turn off lights and electronic devices when you’re not using them.
• Fix water leaks in the bathroom, kitchen, landscaping, etc.
• Use solar energy to dry your clothes.
• Recycling.

Our environment is very important and therefore it is everyone's responsibility to take care of it. Every day, our environment is being dumped with tremendous wastes. This will be minimized if everyone does something. Remember that taking care of the environment is not only a few people's concern, but it must be done by everyone. This is a big job for all of us, but doing it with other people throughout the world will make the work easier.
