Mother earth is dying soon ! We should be more aware of this issue and practiced some of these tips.1. READLearning about the environment is very important. There are many good books that will help you learn.You can also look up some web pages with information about the environment and climate change.
2. Save electricityWhenever we use electricity, we help put greenhouse gases into the air. By turning off lights, the television, and the computer when you are through with them, you can help a lot.
3.Bike,bus and walkYou can save energy by sometimes taking the bus, riding a bike, or walking.
4.Talk to your family and friendsTalk with your family and friends about climate change. Let them know what you've learned.
5.Plant treesPlanting trees is fun and a great way to reduce greenhouse gases. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, from the air.
6.RecycleRecycle cans, bottles, plastic bags, and newspapers. When you recycle, you send less trash to the landfill and you help save natural resources, like trees, oil, and elements such as aluminum.
7. When you buy,buy cool stuffsThere are lots of ways we can improve the environment. One of the ways to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that we put into the air is to buy products that don't use as much energy. By conserving energy, we help reduce climate change and make the Earth a better place. Some products,like certain cars and stereos,are made specially to save energy.
8.Some things to think aboutDid you know that you can help the environment if you buy recyclable products instead of non-recyclable ones? Look for the recycle mark,three arrows that make a circle,on the package. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that already have been used. It usually takes less energy to make recycled products than to make new ones. The less energy we use, the better.
9.Solar energyThe sun produces solar energy. Solar energy can be used to heat homes, buildings, water, and to make electricity. Today, more than 200,000 houses in the United States take advantage of the sun's energy.
10.CarsCars are an important part of life for most people. But cars also cause pollution and release a lot of greenhouse gases into the air. Fortunately, there are some cars that are better for the environment. These cars can travel longer on a smaller amount of gasoline. They don't pollute as much, either. Using these kinds of cars can help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the air.
11.ENERGY STAR®Many things, like computers, TVs, stereos, and VCR s, have special labels on them. The label says "Energy" and has a picture of a star. Products with the ENERGY STAR® label are made to save energy. Buying products with ENERGY STAR® labels will help protect the environment.
