DAY-TO-DAY WAYS TO BECOME ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Hi guys!
Today I'm going to share with you some easy ways to protect our environment.

1. PLANT TREES: We need trees to survive because they give oxygen and fruits, they clean the air, provide shelter to wildlife , prevent soil erosion. So, plant small trees around your home and don't cut them unless it's necessary.
2. CONSERVE WATER: Conserving water reduces the amount of energy that is needed to filter it. Few ways are: take short showers, keep the running tap close while you brush your teeth, recycle water in your home..
3. USE LESS FOSSIL FUEL BASED PRODUCTS: Find out what products you use that are made using fossil fuel based products and processes and use them less or replace them-
4. REDUCE(Reducing what is produced and what is consumed), REUSE(For a different purpose instead of sending them to landfills), RECYCLE(Means that something will be transformed again into a raw material that can be shaped into a new item).
5. STOP LITTERING:Stop people from littering on roads.
6. PROTECT WILDLIFE: Protect places like beaches and forests that are habitats for animals.
7. START CYCLING:Biking instead of driving can reduce more tan 90 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.
8. SHOP ON-LINE:Buying on-line almost always involves less energy use and fewer carbon dioxide emissions than in-store shopping
