How do you incorporate environmental efforts into your lifestyle or home?

Answer 1

There are many ways to improve an environment.

• We should stop throwing litter around the area so the environment gets clean.
• Stop fighting in the area so that the environment gets peaceful.
• Grow more and more plants so that the environment gets beautiful.

Answer 2

You can take a number of approaches if you want to live your life as an environmentalist. You can volunteer with charities or organizations, up your recycling efforts, volunteer at an animal shelter, or perform a number of other activities.

Answer 3

You could pressure your government to join with all other countries to take serious measures to reduce the effects of climate change.

Governments and countries have to get together and agree on a common solution. They have to legislate to put a cap on carbon emissions (to stop factories producing carbon dioxide), they have to stop deforestation and takes steps to promote new forest growth, they have to deal with waste and anaerobic decomposition that produces methane, and they have to promote recycling. They have to cut the use of chemical fertilizers whose run-off pollutes our waterways, and promote organic farming, worm farms and composting.

And we can all play a part. We have to demand that our governments act now.

Carbon Dioxide is produced whenever oil, gas and coal are burned (Most electricity comes from coal-fired power stations). So if we all did a little more of some of these it would help slow global warming:

* Stop using so much electricity. * Turn off the lights when you leave a room.

* Turn off TVs etc at the wall instead of with the remote. * Hang your clothes out to dry. * Use public transport or bicycle. * Recycle all those cans and plastic bottles. * Buy local food and eat it all. * Wear warmer clothes instead of turning up the heating. * Wear fewer clothes instead of turning on the air conditioning.

* Plant more trees.

* and many more...

Methane is produced when organic matter decomposes anaerobically (without air). This happens in the intestines of some animals (humans too), and in landfill (garbage dumps). There are millions of cattle, pigs and sheep all over the world being raised for us to eat. So every time we eat meat some farmer has to buy an extra animal just to make up for it. So, to cut down on the amount of methane being added to the atmosphere we should:

* Eat vegetarian meals more often * Eat white meat (chicken) instead of red meat (beef, pig, sheep)

* Put food scraps into a worm farm or a compost bin

Answer 4

there are plenty of ways. some are even incredibly simple and easier than you might think. here are some easy things to do:

Turn off the lights when you leave the room.

Turn off the water while you are brushing your teeth.

Put a box in each room and have you and whoever lives with you put all their papers in there when they are finished with them, so that you can recycle them.

Unplug all appliances when they are not in use like chargers and kitchen appliances.

Buy things with less packaging, like bagged cereal.
