How Everyone can involve To Protect The Environment?

by Sumit Chowdhury | 23-01-2018 23:44 recommendations 0

Our livable earth is only one and mother natures give us all the things without which our existence is impossible. But it is a matter of great regret that our actions are causing harm to mother nature and we all are facing the consequences. The alarming affects of global warming has already started. Summers are more hotter, and winters are so freezing as beyond imaginable. If we want to keep a beautiful earth for your next generation then we must act now.

By collectively doing little things we can shape the world. In this report I have highlighted some measures which will be helpful to protect our mother nature.

1. Throw less stuff away

Stick your recyclables in the recycling, put your leftover food in the compost, and try to reduce how much you send to landfill, as landfill sites are kind of gross and look like this.

2. Turn things off if you?re not using them.

Turning your TV off at the end of the day can a difficult and time-consuming process (*cough*) – but leaving it on standby overnight is not only a pointless addition to your carbon footprint; it could also add up to £86 to your electricity bill each year.

3. Only boil the water you need

Do you overfill the kettle when making tea? According to a 2013 study, three quarters of all UK households boil more water than they need, adding a hefty £68m a year to energy bills. So stop doing that.

4. Get a bike

Bicycle use in the UK is among the lowest in the EU – yet bikes use no fuel, produce no emissions, keep you fit and help you live longer. Also, bikes are cool.

5. Buy second hand

Stop being a sheep-like slave to capitalism and look to eBay, charity shops and second hand stores when you need to buy something. According to a 2009 report, if more people did this we could reduce UK greenhouse gas emissions by ?an average 4 million tonnes of CO2 per year between now and 2020.?

6. Reuse plastic bags

Stop killing so many dolphins. There are more than five trillion pieces of plastic in the world?s oceans – of which plastic bags account for a large proportion –  and they strangle sea animals and wreak havoc on the food chain. Worth bearing in mind next time you get a plastic bag to carry something that has a handle.

7. Don?t leave chargers plugged in

Another small way to reduce your energy consumption – phone chargers and laptop leads constantly left in the socket will continue to use a small amount of electricity, completely unnecessarily. Take a second to pull them out.

8.Think of the bees

?If the bee disappeared off the face of the Earth, man would only have four years left to live,? Einstein supposedly said (but almost certainly didn?t). Bees are massively important to the food ecosystem, and it?s a huge cause of concern that their numbers are declining. You can help out by making your garden bee-friendly, with plants such as lavender, roses, sunflowers and geraniums.

9. Reuse plastic bottles

If you must buy bottled water, despite the fact that there?s plenty of perfectly drinkable water in the tap, at least reuse the bottle. Plastic bottles use oil in their manufacture, they?ve got to be shipped around on carbon-chugging vehicles, they?re very rarely recycled and they take hundreds of years to biodegrade.

10. Eat less meat

Meat-eating is the second biggest environmental hazard facing the planet after fossil fuel vehicles, says the Union of Concerned Scientists. PETA point out that producing just one hamburger uses enough fossil fuel to drive a small car 20 miles. If you?re not ready to go full vegetarian yet, why not cut down at least? The Meat Free Mondays site has some good tips on getting started.

    Hi, Sumit! Thanks for introducing ways in which we can reduce environmental damage in our daily lives. I've personally been reusing plastic bags, reducing trash as much as possible, using reusable bottles, and using public transportation instead of driving, so I was happy to see some related subjects on your list. As for the parts that I can make improvements in: I think I should try harder to boil only the water I need and pull chargers out once my devices are fully charged. Thank you for your tips and advice!
