Save Environment

E nvironment is the biotic and abiotic surrounding of an organism , and includes particularly the factors that have an influence in their survival, development and evolution. What is Environment?

Environmental protection It is a practice of protecting the natural environment on individual, organizational or governmental levels, for the benefit of both the natural environment and humans. Due to the pressures of population and technology, the biophysical environment is being degraded.

Methods to save the Environment Minimize Energy Consumption:- On a personal level, this translates into a host of simple actions: U sing fluorescent light bulbs Insulating our homes so they heat and cool more efficiently Turning off lights and other electronic equipment when we leave a room Washing only full loads of laundry and dishes in the machines

Producing and Using Sustainable Energy Mankind will inevitably continue using energy, even if we all make a concerted effort to cut down on our consumption. So if we want to save the environment we need to find alternative ways to produce and use sustainable, clean energy , like solar and wind energy. The energy produced is called “ green " energy that can help reduce our reliance on energy derived from burning fossil fuels

Conserve Water We can't live without water , the natural world around us needs water just as much as we do, so we can't save the environment without saving our water supply, as well. Conserving water starts with looking at it as a limited resource and consuming it with that in mind . A good way to force ourselves to cut down on water use is by installing Water Sense labeled appliances, such as low-flush toilets and low-flow showerheads and faucets. These water-saving devices can reduce water consumption by more than 30 percent

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle This trio of "R" words has become almost as pervasive as the old "reading, writing, arithmetic" combo. But it's no less important today than when it was first introduced. Reduce- It means reducing your consumption or buying less. Reuse- Rather than throwing out items like clothing or food jars, consumers can find new uses for them and there by reduce their consumption of new resources. Recycle -Recycling extracts valuable materials from items that might otherwise be considered trash and turns them into new products.

Plant Trees Trees play a critical role in keeping our air clean, both by releasing oxygen into the air and by trapping carbon. The more trees we have, the better our air quality, and that's why planting trees is an excellent step to take toward saving the environment

Protest Deforestation On the name of development we're losing millions of trees that would otherwise clean the air for us. Protesting deforestation, both through activism and by refusing to buy products that are created at the expense of the world's forests, can help slow and even half deforestation.

Last but not the least Encouraging Others Gandhi wisely said, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." That's certainly true when it comes to saving the environment, and each of us has an individual responsibility to make the changes and decisions that will benefit the natural world around us
