Being environmentally friendly means having a lifestyle that are better for the environment.Its all about taking small steps to make this planet a better place for our next generations.
Be eco-friendly in the bathroom:
- Turn the tap off when brushing your teeth.
- Have quick, refreshing showers instead of water wasting bath
Think energy savings:
- Turn off the light whenever you leave the room, even if you are going to go back in a couple of minutes.
- Don’t have unnecessary energy running when you won’t use or need it. Switch off that CD player, and limit your TV
- Turn off the computer when not in use.
- Keep radiators off when it's not terribly cold.
Think about what you throw away and what you could use more than once.
- Reduce the amount of waste that is being produced, use things more than once, and give things to others that you don’t want any more.
- Reuse things that can be used more than once
- Recycle more. Paper, cardboard and cards can be made into something new. Put them into your recycling bin
Plant trees.
- They keep the land from eroding, they clean the air, they provide shelter for animals.
Use fewer chemicals.
- Use alternative cleaning solutions.
- Replace shampoos, conditioners and soaps with natural versions. Your body will thank you, too.
Never dump hazardous waste materials down the drain or into the grass.
- Paint, motor oil, ammonia, and other strong chemical solutions should not be dumped down the drain because they'll seep into the groundwater.
Change that light bulb
- we know they’d be replacing it with a CFL, or “compact fluorescent light.” Like most eco-friendly gadgets, they’re more expensive up front , but they use a quarter of the energy and last 10 times longer
