Scientists have found that about 40% of people in the world die from causes one way or another related to environmental pollution. It can be polluted water, soil and air. It may seem to us that our ecology is quite normal and there is no need to panic. But look objectively at the situation - yes, these forests may be enough for us, but will there be enough of them for our descendants? One person is unlikely to be able to independently solve all environmental problems. But making a personal contribution is not so difficult.
Instruction manual
1
Accustom yourself to environmental good habits. Always turn off computers, televisions at night. Many household appliances work in vain. Unplug the chargers from phones and cameras from the wall outlet. Thus, you will reduce the consumed amount of electricity and fuel. Accordingly, harmful emissions into the atmosphere will be reduced.
2
Turn off the water when brushing your teeth. The savings are 15 liters of water per minute. Turn on the washing machine only when the drum is completely full of water. Take a shower, not a bathroom - this will reduce water consumption. We will not talk about the fact that such basic things as cleaning garbage behind you, wherever you are, is mandatory.
3
Pay attention to recycling. You can take the paper to waste paper collection points. Hand in glass bottles. This is not a shame - such an act will benefit the planet. Glass recycling reduces air pollution by 20% and water pollution by 50%. Try to use less plastic dishes; do not take plastic bags in stores. Buy some reusable bags and go grocery shopping with them.
4
When cooking, turn off the gas or power of the electric stove immediately after the cooking dish has begun to boil. This will allow you to cook quietly without increasing energy costs. Learn to always turn off the light in the room from which you leave. Even if you come back in a couple of minutes.
5
Choose eco-friendly vehicles. For example, metro or tram. And cycling is useful not only for the environment, but also for your own health. Remember that the little things that you personally do for the environment will bring great benefits in the future. Live thinking not only about yourself, but also about your planet.
