Ways to help

 

 

Here are some things you can do to save the environment

Save Energy!

 Turn off TVs, lights, and other electronics in your home when they’re not in use.  Print on both sides of paper.  Use recycled paper.  Use microwave when ever you can. Have your home tested for bad chemicals in the air. Use email instead of snail mail (paper). Buy products you can reuse.  Buy used supplies like furniture or cars. Create a compost.  Water while its cool or dark .  Plant trees for shade to reduce using cooling systems in the summer.  Use a electric lawn mower or even a push mower not a gas one.  Try to use bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, or just walk to get to work, school, or other places.  Use carpooling.  Don't smoke, it puts pollutants in the air.  Make a nice garden.
