I regard environment as a matter of great significance to me. That’s why everyone should consider a bit closer how important this is for the future. On top of this, against this background, everyone can do something for the environment.
I’m well aware of the fact that our planet is a very fragile place as it can easily be polluted by day-to-day human activities or habits. Our world we are leaving in it is at stake so we should respect it but my point is : “Why are so many people destroying this good living place as we know it today?”, “What can we do”?
As a first step, by making a few simple changes to the way we live, I’m sure we can make a big difference to our lives and to the lives of our children. I don’t deny the fact that there are just bits, but if everybody does just a bit everyday, then we could achieve a satisfying final aspect out of it.
To stop this from happening again, follow my following tips : I can try to consume less as an individual, by doing things such as recycling when possible, alternative transportation ; such as bicycles. Here are some more exemples :
I can help protect nature by giving it love(=watering it enough, giving it enough water, and sufficient sunlight). I might turn lights off when I leave a room and turn households appliances when I’m not using them, no less than using canvas bags rather than paper or plastic when shopping. I can as well make use of reusable containers ; such as metal bottles for water, instead of disposable plastic or styrofoam ones. Also, I can start some community projects ; such as car pools by way of example.
It woudn’t be a bad idea to choose a home close to work or school. I recommend using resources efficiently and generate as little waste as possible. I ought to buy locally grown and produced food and protect prime agricultural areas to maximize regional food self-sufficiency. One of the best things to do, as far as my opinion goes, is to plant a tree in my yard or community every year so that this may improve the air quality of our environment and replaces one of the thousands lost each year to illegal cutting and harvesting, or development in general. I’m thinking of buying biodegradable soaps and pesticide-free produce. I may develop more of an interest in the biodiversity consequences of my consumption. Unplug chargers for cell phones, cameras, and other hand-help products when they aren’t charging could prove to be effective in the long term. I’d better ask my school district to replace diesel school buses with natural gas, or better still, with electric school buses. I can conserve energy at home by buying energy sufficient appliances, using compact fluorescent light bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs, using natural light whenever possible and using blinds to reduce heat and the need for an air-conditioner. I can reduce further production of greenhouse gases by lowering my use of fuel. I have every intention of starting a lift club and share transports instead of driving alone. I am going to buy local fruit and vegetables that haven’t used enormous amounts of fuel to get to me. I can select organic products that have been produced without the use of pesticides and fertisilers that are harmful to natural ecosystems and biodiversity. What I have also in mind is to practice green consumerism by buying environmently friendly products and refuse plastic bags when these are given to me. I have set my sights on shutting off my home laptop or desktop computer, monitor, and printer when I’m not using them.
I can do some more exercise by walking or taking a bike because cars pollute the air and this is not a good thing because if you realise we’re breathing all that air in : it certainly is a big plus point. To save my water can turn to be useful on the long term, the worst of it is that there are many people who don’t have nice clean water and nowadays we are using too much of it. Everytime I leave a room I must make sure that lights are turned off. There must be no littering because it builds up waste, because one day we may run of power stations. I can protect the environment by reducing, reusing and recycling items. My opinion is that not using cigarettes may prevent the ozone layer from depleting, this will also protect the environment. To my way of thinking, not using pesticides anymore would be a good solution. I can spread the environmental message and influence others. I can go a step further by educating family members, friends, classmates or colleagues I know. Turn off the tap when brushing my teeth is a good way to follow. Have a shower instead of a bath. It’s better for the planet. I’d better banish plastic bottles of water and invest in a water filter to purify.
I musn’t overheat my home and must install a thermostat to maintain a temperature of 16°C in bedrooms and 19°C in others rooms. I must replace ordinary lights bulbs with high-efficiency ones. I must turn off my TV, hi-fi, PC and DVD player and switch the lights off when I leave a room. When washing my clothes, I should switch to phosphate-free washing powder and never run a machine half empty.
I should think twice before I throw anything away. I must recycle what ever I can and use my council’s service if there is one. I intend to give away clothes, CDs, books that I no longer want to charities. I should use reusable shopping bags, canvas bags, boxes when I go to the supermarket instead of plastic bag that take so many years to degrade. I must choose seasonal and local products to reduce pollution produced from transporting exotic good from faraway shores.
I must buy reusable/washable nappies. I’d tend to shop ethically. I must encourage my circle to go green by using heating and air conditioning reasonably, recycling paper. Take the train for long trips, if possible, might be better. I’d make up my mind to use my legs – the most ecological form of transport – for short distances. Walking is good for my health just as for the planet!
Car pool with colleagues, friends, parents. Most car only currently take 1 or 2 passengers, which equals a lot of pollution for a half-full car. I’d be well-advised to try to buy as close to home as possible. I can convince my parents to make “green” changes in the families like buying more economical cars, recycling wastes, and so forth. I’ll spend everything wisely. I’ll join campagns of our goverment on how to protect them. I won’t violate rules or laws that will destroy our nature. I should plant trees on a daily basis, as they provide us a number of things. Instead of using petrol, diesal or LPG vehicles, everyone should use bicycles, much more environmentally friendly, just as I do. I should take public transport or encourage walking(=whenever possible) rathen than taking the car.
I must set up the selective sorting of household waste. Carpooling is the way ahead. I can use bicycle for travelling near distance. I can use solar energy and wind energy for household purpose. I resolve to plant more and more trees more than ever before. Fight is the way forward! I should keep my eyes peeled for people who do not respect nature like throwing rubbish away right in the middle of a place. If a forest is being cut down, I must protest and in earnest! I musn’t buy anything made of real fur. From my point of view, I must use rain water to water plants. I’m toying with the idea of awaring others to take some action on their part too.
My part is to help the environment by recycling, reusing and reducing waste. I’ll certainly spread the work by telling my school, classmates and beyond. I’ll remind people how delicate the Earth is and that we only have one chance to take care of it. Sure I’ll plan to make signs to tell people in my community to recycle. In our house, we try hard to reuse everything we can. We use the environmentally friendly bags to do our gracery shopping. We try very hard to take quick showers too! I can think reusable when I drink! I can slip into something a little more healthy. I can simply make the world a greener place. I may choose a greener way of cleaning clothes. I musn’t leave water running needlessly any longer. I’d be well-advised to save some of my washing machine water and gargle my mouth with a cup of water instead.
I’ll make my voice heard in my surroundings. Maybe I could clearing out old pond plants, and should remember to compost them carefully. I might as well as join an organization or an Internet group that is working to protect rainforests or wildlife.
I must think about where the things I buy come from and how they are made. I’d better encourage my parents to drive fuel-efficient cars and not to overheat our house. I will walk or cycle whenever possible, if the journey is a short one. I think that to follow the recommended dose of detergent when washing my clothes or dishes is a great idea. I should make sure I always throw my waste into the rubbish bin. I ought to eat meat free meals. My view is that simply turning off the water when I’m not using it, like when I’m brushing my teeth, can help a lot. Another way is to support an organization like the WWF.
These are my ideas on how to protect our Earth and prevent global warming. We need to work hard to find ways to help the environment. If everyone recycles, it would make a huge difference in the world. It is important for all of us to play our part in helping planet. I’m glad to do mine! As you can see, a little goes a long way!
