These are 10 foolproof ways to reduce pollution and "go green".
Turn Off Lights
Not only does this save money on your utility bill, light bulbs pollute the Earth (not to mention turning them off makes them last ALOT longer)
Fluorescent Light Bulbs
Back on the subject of light, they may be more expensive. But not only do they last longer, the don't cause as much pollution, and in the long run their duration really makes it cheaper than average light bulbs.
Recycle
Reusing things whether you send them somewhere or reuse them yourself is very helpful. You reduce landfills and pollution. When buying new shoes save the shoe boxes, they can hold things or be used for a kids school project. You can reuse plastic bottles.
Small Windmill
This may not be allowed in your neighborhood but a small windmill makes a huge difference. Once again, your electricity will be a lot cheaper plus its environmentally friendly.
Hybrids
This is a very controversial one (no ones just going to go out and buy a car) but if your planning on buying a new one look into it. Really they reduce poisonous emissions that come out of the back of you car plus they use a lot less gas. So they go farther for less money plus you don't have to waste precious time at the pump.
Plant a Tree
Not only is gardening good for the Earth its relaxing. Did you know the Egyptian doctors used to prescribe walks in a garden just like it was medicine. So although it may not really “heal” you it is a very relaxing thing to do and it reduces carbon dioxide in the air.
Walk or Carpool
If you can walk why not? Its relaxing and a great time to communicate with the family. So without wasting gas or money just walk sometimes. It may take up time but in the end it will really be worth it. Carpooling reduces the amount of gas used resulting in less trips to the dreaded pump.
Change Clothes
Buy your clothes from reused or all natural clothes lines. When people realize that giving back to the environment is as vital as taking away from it a lot less emissions will be used.
Donate to Local Plants
This one may not work for everyone unfortunately but if you can try donating to local renewable resource plants. If all the people who burn coal for energy realize that's not where the money is the may switch to a renewable resource such as wind, hydro, or solar power.
Show You Care
Don't be afraid to take a bold step ahead of all the modern day people so get motivated and have fun learning and saving the world in the process and remember one person does make a difference.
I've started riding my bike everywhere, not only does it help me stay in shape, but its good for the environment and saves a ton of gas money!
