How to Protect our Environment

Water is life. Let’s protect and conserve our forest and sources of our potable water. We must plant some more trees to make our environment healthier. Prevent the wastage of water and curbing pollution. Do not pollute our rivers by not dumping garbage. Of course, we should also avoid excessive usage of water.

In my previous blogs, I wrote about some tips of saving the environment. One of this is about using the paper bags instead of the plastic bags. Buy the products that we can reuse.

Activities like composting can be of great help in recycling of garbage into useful manures. Avoid an extensive use of chemical fertilizers and synthetic nutrients. Natural manures are a better option for farms and gardens. Go ORGANIC....

Look at the gadgets you use at home. Are all of them necessary? Do you maintain them well and use them efficiently? Replace the air filters for your air conditioning unit once a month. Turn off the ACs as also the lights and fans in unused rooms. Make sure to switch off the lights, the television or radio sets before you leave the house. Do not keep your computer switched on while you are not using it. Did you know that your refrigerator and water heaters consume a lot of power? A careful use of these gadgets is a good way to save electricity.

These are some of the simple ways in which we can contribute towards saving nature. A small step by each of us can make a huge leap towards saving the environment.
