Environmental protection begins with saving resources - saving water and electricity.
1. Saving electricity
Reducing electricity consumption will reduce the burden on the planet, because in an effort to get fuel for power plants, the subsoil will not be developed so intensively and forests will be cut down. To reduce electricity consumption, replace conventional light bulbs with energy-saving ones, do not leave idle electrical appliances (TV, computer, etc.) standing idle, purchase only Class A household appliances.
2. Water saving
The reserves of clean fresh water on the planet are rapidly declining, in addition, a large amount of wastewater pollutes the remaining water bodies, which has an extremely negative impact on the environment. To save water in everyday life, do not leave the tap open while shaving and brushing your teeth; instead, pour water into a glass. Do not wash the dishes under running water, but in a sink with a closed drain plug. Install an economical diffuser in the shower. Use the washing machine with the drum fully loaded.

Environmental protection is also throwing garbage only in specially designated places. The most optimal solution is the purchase of garbage containers for different types of waste and the conclusion of an agreement with the municipal service on separate garbage collection.
If in your city such services are not provided, try not to throw garbage in the wrong places. It is pretty simple.
1. Do not litter in the entrances, in the yards, on the city streets. If you need to throw something away (a chocolate wrapper, an empty bag of chips, etc.), but there is no container nearby, put the waste in a small bag and throw it away at home.
2. After the repair, do not multiply illegal landfills with your construction waste. Instead, hire a special company to take your construction waste to the designated location.
3. Always collect garbage after trips to the countryside (empty bottles, disposable tableware, scraps, bags, etc.).

Great damage to the environment is caused by today's popular polyethylene. It is necessary to protect nature and not to multiply this damage. Try not to use plastic packaging. For example, wrap food leftovers not in plastic wrap, but in paper packaging. Fold in-store purchases not in plastic bags, but in paper bags or cloth shopping bags.
