Being a teen isn't easy especially in a dieing world, you the young people are our future starting to live more green now will help preserve our and your future. There are many simple ways to go green, as simple as the three R's, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. These three R's can be used for almost everything.
Lets take a look at how you can go green with the gadgets that you might be using. If you have a cell phone, mp3 player or another small hand held technological gadgets consider what power sources your are using. Preferably batteries that can be recharged is always best. If you have a damage gadget you can now recycle many of them by taking them to a battery or computer recycle depot.
Other things like clothing and personal items such as books, cd's, toys things like that can all be donated if in usable condition. Other wise these items can be recycled properly by your waste management provider.
Remembering to recycle and reuse make up container, shampoo and conditioner bottles, and personal products that you may use. And to further help the environment try using products that are made with natural products and recycled packaging. Every little bit helps.
I know it's not cool to bring a lunch to school these days but if you do remember to use containers instead of plastic bags. And, always put your garbage in the correct bins at your school, home, mall or anywhere you are. Help reduce your garbage by encouraging compost use in your school and home, many farmers will gladly pick up compost for their animals or farms. Schools can also use it for a community or school garden, or perhaps the horticulture class could make good use of it.
There are so many products out their that are eco friendly, things like all natural clothes and furniture, natural food and cleaners, music and movies recorded on disk made from recycled plasitic. Avoid things like water bottles and pre-packaged foods, buy personal items in bulk to save on money and packaging. Ride a bike or bus, walk or car pool with friends to school, work and social gatherings.
Just remember to use the 3 R's, Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle…Turn off lights, Tv and computers when your not home and use natural products….Be happy, stay healthy and live more green
