And try to consolidate your outings to one session-being conscious of how many separate trips you c prevent (this also saves time).
When it comes to vacations, opt for local destinations Why not see all the beautiful natural resources your own town or state has to offer?
CONSERVE WATER
With industries dumping waste into our water supplies, access to fresh, clean water becomes more fended every year Freely available water is often taken for granted, Running taps, unchecked water leakage over flowing water trucks are all examples of unnecessary water wastage that needs to be stopped Wale is an essential requirement of human survival, so let’s conserve it Try rainwater harvesting in buckets a rain barrel which can be used to water the plants in the lawn, clean your cars etc.
RECYCLE THE WASTE PRODUCTS
REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE
Many waste products like glass, plastics, aluminum and paper can be recycled instead of been disposed off in the dustbin. This will prevent any air pollution accumulated on burning these products. You can also use reusable towels and reusable bags rather than using disposable plastics or bags Instead of purchasing disposal items like plastic plates, spoons and cups, opt for reusable, washable flatware instead. Carry your coffee and tea in washable thermos instead of buying disposable containers from café houses. With this small, simple act, you reduce the amount of trash you’re disposing and your coffee remains hot while doing so.

FALL IN LOVE WITH MOTHER NATURE
There is mounting research that supports the idea that children and adults who spend regular time playing and laming in the natural world are happier, healthier, smarter, more creative and better problem solvers Essentially if we want to be inspired to protect our natural resources, we need first-hand experience of them. If you want to experience nature, go out and play in a park, swim in a lake, and walk or play on the beach Put down your phone, and go outside to see what kind of birds and butterflies are fluttering about the greens around you. When you find a bird nest and observe (not interfere) with the hatching, growing. and finally flying away you develop an intrinsic vested interest or ownership in the natural world.
Striking a balance between ethical development, moral responsibility and a healthy environment may take decades, even centuries, But together, we can become better servers of this planet, this country that we share as our home.
