Tip #1 Turn off the lights and other electrical appliances
Remember to turn off the lights and other electrical appliances whenever you leave the room, even if it is only for a few minutes. You could leave the electricity running for hours, forgetting completely that it is on. Following this tip will not only save the environment, it will also lower you electricity bills and save you a lot of time fixing light bulbs that are fused.
Tip #2 Use Eco-Friendly Shopping Bags
A huge change in the world can be made if one person uses Eco-friendly bags. Think about all the plastic bags you have ever received. That tremendous stream of plastic bags that are coming into your home and cluttering the place can stop. Eco-friendly bags are easy to find. You can find them for a really sensible price at your local supermarket.
Tip #3 Reduce
Recycling and re-using are very important ways to save our planet. But reducing what you buy will mean you don’t even have to recycle or re-use that much. Reducing leaves us all with less trash in the world.
How can you reduce?
1. Rent or borrow things that you barely use, like ladders or party decorations
2. Use only the required amount of everything, including small things like fertilizer.
3. Use Eco-friendly bags to reduce plastic (tip #2)
Tip #4 Recycle
Dumping all your recyclable items into a recycling bin is one very popular way to recycle! But there are other ways to recycle in your household. You could recycle printer cartridges and soap bottles (but refills), use recycled paper, or even use the back of a piece of paper that has already been used!
Tip #5 Don’t Litter
Littering is one of the major problems in this world. In many places, including the seas and oceans, you can find everyone’s unwanted garbage thrown on the floor. You can help make our world a better place by watching yourself. Don’t throw anything on the floor. Take your garbage straight to the trashcans, or the recycling bins if applicable. It’s true that if you do the crime, you must pay for it, but if everyone expects everyone else to pick up their own litter, it’s not going to happen. Some people just don’t care! So it’s up to the people who do to pick up what other people have dropped. If you find garbage on the floor, pick it up. It doesn’t matter if it’s not your garbage. Pick it up anyway!
Tip #6 Save Water
Only 3% of the world’s water is available to us, and we will soon run out of water. Many people don’t seem to care, or they just don’t know how they can save water.
Here’s how you can save water:
1. Don’t leave the water on when brushing your teeth
2. Wash your car as little as possible, and when you do, use less water
3. Take the shortest shower you can
4. Fix any water leaks
5. Install two separate flushes on your toilet, and use the low flush one as much as possible
6. Use a dish washer to wash your dishes
7. Wash only full loads of laundry and dishes at one go in a machine
8. Install a low-flow shower head.
Tip #7 Save Paper
Millions of trees are being chopped down in one day to make paper. If we save paper, fewer trees would be cut down.
You could save paper by:
1. Printing on both sides of paper
2. Reusing items like envelopes, folders, paperclips and binders
3. Using recycled paper.
4. Using unneeded paper for scrap paper
5. Using the back of a piece of paper
Tip #8 Re-use
You can use all your trash again, to save buying more, and to cut down on the waste going into the planet. You can reuse items such as cardboard boxes, containers, foil, cling wrap, and old newspapers. You can also reuse cloth napkins and reusable plates and utensils, so buy these instead of paper napkins and disposable utensils and plates.
Tip #9 Use Less Gas
Gas is getting more expensive every day, and more harmful too! You can save gas by walking or riding your back when possible, carpooling with other people to get to places, or taking the public bus, metro or train to get to work.
Tip #10 Use A Compost Bin
A compost bin can be very useful to recycle things. You can compost your vegetable scraps, leaves, yard debris, and other small pieces of junk that can be recycled.
The comfort zone is the great enemy to creativity; moving beyond it necessitates intuition, which in turn configures new perspectives and conquers fears. Step out and shine.
