24. WHAT CAN WE DO ?
 From early childhood, children need to be taught about public health,
about citizen’s right and duties towards natural resources.
 Plant trees! They provide shade, clean air, mask noise and need much
less water than lawns.
 We must reduce vehicular pollution.
 Using solar energy in our house. Solar energy prevents water and air.
pollution
 Low flow shower reduce water use from 4 to 2.5 liter/min.
 When you need a new refrigerator or any new electronic device, look
for an energy efficient model.
