3. Save electricity
•
Reducing energy wastage is one way to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Most of the electricity you use has a connection to fossil fuels whose
extraction and use leads to environmental degradation.
4. Recycle
•
Recycling is a smart way of reducing landfills in your area. Landfills
contain harmful chemicals which pollute the ecosystem and hurt land
and marine life.
5. Reusing
•
Like recycling, reusing helps reduce the non-biodegradable waste that
ends up in landfills. From plastic bottles to reusable bags, there is a
lot of stuff you can repurpose for other uses instead of throwing
away.
6. Carpooling
•
The transport industry is one of the greatest polluters in the world.
Worse still, the fossil fuels used to drive this industry causes
devastating environmental damage. By carpooling, you will reduce
pollution and minimize reliance on non-renewable energy.
7. Go digital
•
To feed the paper making factories, millions of trees have to go down.
You can go paperless and reduce reliance on papers to save the
environment.
8. Energy efficiency in cooling your home:
•
Use a thermostat in your house: Set your thermostat such that it
automatically sets temperatures lower or higher than the outdoors.
You should also use natural ventilation when possible and avoid
reliance on the air conditioning.
9. Save water
•
Turn off water and save this important natural resource. Repair water
leaks and this simple step will go a long way in averting further
damage of the ecosystem in search of water.
