POLLUTION

TIPS TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT

1.Don’t use plastic bags: use reusable bags for your shopping.

500 years! Do you believe it? A plastic bag takes such a long time to decompose.

2.  Reduce the temperature of your central heating.

The high emission of heat raises the planet temperature. Adjust the temperature to no more than 19°.

3.Make a better use of your appliances.

It’s frustrating that technology seems to have a short life. When your computer, television or mobile phone is broken, recycle it before replacing it.

4.Don’t waste water.

Remember. Two billion people in the world do not have access to running water. When you brush your teeth or shave, don’t let water run if it’s not necessary.

5. Catch the sun energy.

We waste energy in our homes that could be saved thanks to clever devices. It would be wise to install solar panels or photovoltaic plants.

6. Eat fruit and vegetables.

The production of meat is one of the main causes of gas emission. Moreover giant livestock farms need wide open spaces that are created through the deforestation of green areas.

7. Use low energy light bulbs.

Switch off lights you are not using and buy halogen bulbs of low consumption. When possible, take advantage of sun light through the windows.

 8. Reuse old stuff.
