Saving the Environment: One Home at a Time
Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also
in our own homes. It comes from household chemicals, the
amount of water people use and the waste people produce and
throw away. What can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly,
a person can help save the environment by doing simple things.
First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used
over and over again. Recycling can also reduce the number of
trees cut down to produce paper products. It takes very little
effort. It is not hard to place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum
cans and paper in a bin. Anyone can do it.
Second, we need to watch the amount of water used at home.
It can be conserved by taking short showers instead of baths,
repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or washing machine
only when fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while
brushing your teeth.
Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever
possible, but should also try to use this waste effectively. For
example, grass clippings and food scraps can be made into
compost for plants. The average person produces 4.3 pounds of
waste every day, but we can reduce that amount by recycling and
reusing.
If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep the
planet from becoming more polluted.
