Are you eco-friendly?

 

The term “eco-friendly” is used to describe activities which are good for the environment. It is a shortening of “ecologically friendly,” and you may also hear terms like “environmentally friendly” or “green” used to describe similar activities. There are a range of ways in which activities can be eco-friendly, ranging from products which are constructed in an environmentally friendly way to making lifestyle changes which are designed to benefit the environment.

Our planet is dying, man to become a mindset to overcome and dominate nature, grow economically, wasting natural resources which all human beings us to the fact of being human.The

man has to respect the human rights of humanity, both, the 6,000 million human beings living on planet earth and those who are yet to come. to them are obligatory reserve a world, to them is obligatory reserve a world with hope, with a healthy environment that allows them to live a decent life in a better world with equality.

The principal problem are waste management, climate change, pollution and the global warming.

I have listed some ways to help the environment.

1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Compost
Reusing packaging material saves more energy than recycling. By avoiding extra packaging, you save both energy and landfill space. Yard and kitchen waste (leaves/grass/vegetable scraps) are 30% of trash. Reduce this amount by composting. Also be sure to re-use plastic bags, or better yet... refuse plastic bags when you really don't need them. 

2. Conserve water
Don't let faucets run. Never water your lawn at midday. Place a brick in old toilets. Take low flow short showers. Run the dishwasher only when it is full. Let grass grow longer. Plant native or drought-tolerant garden plants. 

3. Quit smoking
Second-hand smoke is a major indoor air pollutant and health hazard. When you quit, both you and your family will lead longer and healthier lives. 

  

4. Eat less meat/eat more local and organic foods 

Feedlots are a major source of organic pollution. Tropical forests are cut to raise beef. 

5. Dispose of old paint, chemicals, and oil properly
Don't put batteries, antifreeze, paint, motor oil, or chemicals in the trash. Use proper toxics disposal sites. Never buy more than you need. 

6. Volunteer/Lobby for the Environment
Work locally and globally to save natural places, reduce urban sprawl, lower pollution and prevent the destruction of wilderness areas for timber and oil.

7.Switch to fluorescent light bulbs. 

They are more energy efficient and although they cost more, they last longer.

8. Alternative Energy

Consider alternative energy options such as solar power. Even when used on a small scale it helps decrease electricity use.

9. Reduce Energy Consumption

Turn lights, computers and televisions off when not in use.
