Here's
what you can do to help the environment: If
you are a child, here are some things you can do: - Save
energy by turning off the light when you leave your room.
- Save
trees, which are used to make paper, by using a lunch pail, rather than a paper
bag each day.
- Pick
up litter that you see in your neighborhood and recycle whatever can be recycled
- aluminum cans, glass, paper, cardboard, plastic things.
- Ride
your bike or walk, when you can, rather than ride in a car.
- Turn
off the water while you are brushing your teeth.
- Use
less water in your bath or shower.
- Use
both sides of a piece of paper when drawing, coloring or writing.
Here
are some things your family can do together: - Use
paper shopping bags, rather than plastic, and reuse them at the market. Keep a
supply in your car, so you have them with you when you stop at the store.
- Pay
attention to the packaging of the products you buy and buy things that come in
containers that can be recycled or reused.
- When
possible, bring fruits and vegetables home unwrapped, rather than in plastic bags.
- Recycle
aluminum, glass, newspapers, cardboard and plastic containers.
- Use
water-saving devices on toilets, shower heads and faucets.
- Carpool
whenever possible. When you can, walk, ride a bike, or use public transportation.
- Plant
trees in your yard.
- Diaper
babies in cloth diapers, which can be used again and again.
- In
the winter, keep your thermostat lower and wear a sweater. In the summer, be a
little warmer than you are used to. Let the air conditioner rest, and let your
body use its thermostat.
