It is hard not to notice that the surrounding nature needs our protection. However, often people act in exactly the opposite way - they destroy nature and treat it like "consumers". But what then will future generations see? Hardly something good, so you need to make an effort and try to save nature.
Instruction manual
1
Your first steps to protect nature are unlikely to be too global, so for starters just pay attention to your habits, your behavior and try to correct them. For example, when you go on a picnic, remove all trash after yourself, do not wash the car in a water source, do not pollute it (remember that both the surrounding flora and fauna can suffer from your actions). Also not the best option - this is the burning of garbage (especially plastic) and leaves.
2
Minimize any chemical detergents and cosmetics, and if used, dispose of them correctly (separate garbage), because even this simple step will help you to pollute the environment as little as possible.
3
It is worth mentioning about plastic bags, which are common in almost all countries. They are preferred because they are lightweight, waterproof and cheap, you can carry anything in them.
However, used plastic bags go to landfill quite rarely. More often they can be observed in the middle of the streets: on fences, trees and so on. But in order to destroy a plastic bag, nature needs from 200 to 300 years, sometimes even more. Therefore, you need to limit the thoughtless use of such packages, replace them with textile bags.
4
Remember that the protection of nature begins with your own home, so save energy (purchase more economical models of equipment: washing machines, refrigerators, and so on). It would seem that the savings are small, but this is only at first glance, because across the whole country it will help to close at least one nuclear power plant. By saving energy, you also contribute to the fight against global warming.
Do not forget to turn off the light, because each kilowatt of electricity consumed means the release of about 500 grams of carbon dioxide into the environment (it is he who is considered the cause of the "greenhouse" effect.
5
An important factor is transport, which most of all causes damage to nature. Avoid cars and buses whenever possible, give preference to trams, trolleybuses, and preferably bicycles in general, since saving any resources is an integral element of preserving wildlife.
6
A healthy lifestyle also plays an equally significant role. Better limit yourself to drinking alcohol and smoking, which also harms not only you, but also the environment.
Useful advice
Use all natural resources economically. Save energy, paper, and especially water, use less plastic products (although this is not easy).
