Earth Day

Earth Day is celebrated every 22nd of April to inspire awareness and appreciation of the environment. Like most other world issues, we should also be focusing more on protecting our environment. We are now encountering an increasing number of perils compared in the past. People are becoming more abusive of the environment causing global warming and a lot of other things that we ourselves are directly affected.

In celebration of the Earth Day, I’d like to share with you some helpful tips to save the environment.

• Recycle. Find ways to reuse things before you throw them away. You can also sell those recyclable items to junk shops.
• Learn to segregate your garbage.
• Use biodegradable materials instead of plastics, styrofoams, etc., whenever possible.
• Use recyclable bags when buying groceries.
• Minimize the use of electricity. Remember to UNPLUG appliances when not in use.
• Walk rather than using your car if your destination is just a few blocks away.
• Encourage your friends and neighbors to practice car pooling to help reduce heavy traffic and air pollution.
• Report smoke belcher/s to proper authorities.
• Plant a tree.
• Conserve water.
• Help spread environmental awareness through social networking (twitter, facebook,etc.).

Do what you can to help save the environment. Simple things could make a huge difference.
