Four ways you can help the environment

Perhaps the most important issue concerning people the past years is that of the environment. It is easy to feel like we cannot make a difference, but we can! By making some changes to the way we live our lives we can be a part of the solution. Here are four things we can do to make the earth a better place for us all.

A:Use less water

The most important resource we have is water. Seventy percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water but only three percent of it is fresh water. Without it we cannot survive and sadly, many people in poor countries around the world do not have access (доступ) to fresh drinking water. It is important that we only use the water that we need and that we avoid doing anything to pollute water supplies. An easy way to save water is to make sure that you do not leave the tap(кран) running when you are brushing your teeth. Also, make sure that the tap is properly closed and not dripping (капать) when you are done. Another easy way to reduce the amount of water you use is by choosing to take a shower instead of having a bath.

B: Getting around

Many people have the bad habit of taking their cars wherever they go. Exhaust fumes from cars cause a lot of pollution which severely damages the environment. Instead of always hopping (=sit down) into our cars it is better if we ride a bicycle or walk if our destination is not too far. Also, if our destination is further than we can walk or ride our bicycles to, public transportation like the metro, tram and bus may also be a solution. Research has shown that besides helping the environment this way, we are also helping our bodies. People who always use their cars to get around are generally in worse shape than people who do not.

C:Eat your greens

Another way to help both the environment and your body is by eating less meat and dairy products and more fruit, grains and vegetables. Growing plants causes less pollution than raising (выращивать) animals. The animals that are raised for food use huge amounts (количество) land, water, grain and fuel. In the United States, half all water resources and eighty percent of all farmland are used for producing meat. According to studies, not eating meat helps the environment more than changing your car for another one that uses less petrol.

D:Save energy

There are many ways to save energy on a daily basis. When at home it is a good idea to make sure that there aren’t any lights on in rooms you are not using. Also, check to see if any household appliances (домашниеприборы) you are not using are not plugged in. (включатьвсеть) It is a good idea to use renewable (возобновляемая) energy where possible instead of petrol. Solar panels for example, use solar energy instead of petrol. Use recyclable bags instead of plastic ones if possible. The production of plastic bags uses up lots of natural resources and damages ecosystems when they are thrown away.
