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 in the home. It can be
conserved by taking short shower 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.
