2. WHAT IS ENVIRONMENT?
● Environment biotic and abiotic surroundings of an organism,
and includes particularly the factors that have influence in
their survival, development and evolution. The natural
environment or natural world encompasses all living and
non-living things occurring naturally, meaning in this case
not artificial. The term is most often applied to the Earth or
some parts of Earth. This environment encompasses the
interaction of all living species, climate, weather and natural
resources that affect human survival and economic activity.

3. ENVIROMENT PROTECTION
● It is a practice of protecting the natural environment on individual,
organizational or government levels, for the benefit of both the natural
environment and humans. Due to the pressures of population and
technology, the biophysical environment is being degraded. It has
been a serious concern, which has been steadily growing in the last 50
years with the increasing intensity of industrial activity in most
countries.

4. METHODS TO SAVE THE
ENVIRONMENT
Minimize energy consumption:-
On personal level, this translates into a host of simple actions:
• Using fluorescent light bulbs
• Insulating our homes so they heat and cool more efficiently.
• Turning off lights and other electronic equipment when we leave
a room.
• Washing only full loads of laundry and dishes in the machines

5. PRODUCING AND USING SUSTAINABLE
ENERGY
● Mankind will inevitably continue using energy, even if we all
make a concerted effort to cut down on our consumption effort to
cut down on our consumption. So if we want to save the
environment we need to find alternative ways to produce and use
sustainable, clean energy, like solar and wind energy produced is
called “green” energy that can help reduce our reliance on energy
derived from burning.

6. CONSERVE
WATER
We can’t live without water, the natural
world around us needs water just as we
do, so we can’t save the environment
without saving our water supply, as well
conserving water starts with looking at it
as a limited resource and consuming it
with that in mind. A good way to force
ourselves to cut down on water use is by
installing Water Sense labeled
appliances, such as low-flush toilets and
low-flow showerheads and faucets.

7. REDUCE , REUSE , RECYCLE
● This trio of ‘R’ words has become almost as
pervasive as the old “reading, writing,
arithmetic” combo. But it’s no less important
today than when it was first introduced.
● Reduce- It means reducing your consumption
or buying less.
● Reuse- Rather than throwing out items like
clothing or food jars, consumers can find new
uses for them and there by reduce their
consumption of new resources.
● Recycle- Recycling extracts valuable materials
from items that might otherwise be considered
trash and turns them into new products.

8. LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST
ENCOURAGING OTHERS
● Gandhi wisely said, “YOU MUST BE THE CHANGE YOU
WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD.” That’s certainly true when it
comes to saving the environment, and each of us has an
individual responsibility to make the changes and
decisions that will benefit the natural world around us.
