How to Help Save the Environment
Cleaning up the existing damage to our environment and preventing further destruction is a huge job. It can seem that there is no way one person, especially a young person like you, can make a difference. 1. , starting with changing some simple everyday habits and working with others to spread the importance of protecting the environment. Here are a few suggestions.
Avoid unnecessary driving (or being driven). Every teenager looks forward to a driver’s license and a first car, but automobiles are one of the primary causes of air pollution. If it’s too far to pedal a bike, take a bus or share your car ride with someone else. 2. , but it undoubtedly benefits the environment more.
Unplug electrical equipment when possible. Even when turned off, some appliances may still use power. 3. . So it is best to unplug anything that you do not expect to use in the next 36 hours (or more).
Carry a bag and a reusable water bottle. 4. . On the contrary, plastic bags and disposable bottles may bring convenience to you, but the environmental damage caused by them is almost permanent. Every plastic bottle not made and plastic bag not used helps a little bit.
Raise awareness. Talk to family and friends about simple changes they can make, and why they should do so to help protect the environment. 5. . It’s acceptable to just show them that you have thought a lot about the subject, are passionate about making a difference, and really could use their support.
A. But you can make your contribution
B. This saves you money with fewer trips to the gas station
C. It might not seem as cool as driving yourself
D. They may be the secret sources of the large number on your electric bill
E. This can help start a dialogue in your community about a particular environmental issue
F. You don’t have to give lectures or force them to accept your opinions
G. They don’t take up much space but can prevent a lot of waste
