Unlike the first half of the 20th century, now every schoolchild knows that the environment needs to be taken care of. Most people believe that this is the business of special environmental organizations that get paid for it. However, it is not. Only if each person begins to monitor their environment, it will be possible to maintain a beautiful and clean planet.
Instruction manual
1
You may not even know how much you can do to protect the environment. If you are determined to protect the environment, first get yourself accustomed to the elementary order. Do not throw cigarette butts and pieces of paper past the ballot box, sort garbage into categories, give waste for recycling - plastic, glass, batteries.
2
Keep track of how much water you consume. Remember: the lower this number, the cleaner the lakes and rivers in your region will be. Do not forget to turn off the water when brushing your teeth, try to take a shower rather than a bathroom, while turning off the water or reducing the pressure while you are soaping your body.
3
Take part in subbotniks, because several dozen people can do much more than one. You can plant a park or square with the whole team. This will be a great contribution to environmental protection.
4
Participate as volunteers in projects hosted by environmental organizations. You can learn about the organization of such projects and the search for volunteers on the websites of organizations (go, for example, to the Greenpeace Russia website). These can be both projects to protect local flora and fauna, as well as large international projects. Participation in such actions will be not only beneficial for the environment, but also interesting for you.
5
Try to use your own vehicles as little as possible, and walk or ride a bike more. It is useful both for ecology and for your body.
6
Tell your loved ones about the need to protect the environment. After all, the more people will not forget to turn off the water and bring garbage to the urn, the cleaner and better the world will become. Pay special attention to parenting. Explain to your children the need for certain actions aimed at preserving the environment, do not hesitate to tell strangers who throw garbage why it should not be done.
