How To Save Earth

The document discusses 10 important ways to save the Earth from environmental dangers like climate change. It emphasizes that small individual actions, when taken by many people, can make a big collective impact. Some key actions include conserving water by fixing leaks, planting trees which absorb carbon dioxide, giving up single-use plastics to reduce ocean pollution, eating a more sustainable diet, choosing active transportation when possible, and reducing waste through reducing, reusing and recycling. The conclusion stresses that the Earth is currently in danger and urgent action is needed, such as large-scale tree planting, to ensure a livable planet.

HOW TO SAVE EARTH

The United Nations suggests that climate change is not just the
defining issue of our time, but we are also at a defining moment in
history. So we must save our planet in this time. How we can save it I
will talk about in this article.

We live on the planet Earth. Earth is the only planet that has life on it.
Mother earth has given us many many things. It's our responsibility to
conserve it and ensure that the upcoming generation gets a better
environment. We should think about how to save our world from
dangers like earthquakes, floods, and other Natural disasters.
Our mother earth is in danger. And the reason behind this is nothing
but the humans! Humans are destroying natural resources and
misusing them. If you have to save the earth, first save these resources.
I will discuss 10 important ways to save our earth.

1. Conserve Water
The little things can make a big difference. Every time you turn off the
water while you're brushing your teeth, you're doing something good.
Got a leaky faucet? You might be dripping as much as 90 gallons (340
liters) of water down the drain every day. So fix it! It's easy and cheap.
And stop drinking bottled water. Switch to filtered tap water. You'll
save a ton of cash and help reduce a ton of plastic waste in the process.

2. Plant a Tree
In 2018 the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) report, the U.N. suggests an additional 2.5 billion acres
(1 billion hectares) of forest in the world could limit global warming to
2.7 degrees Fahrenheit (1.5 degrees Celsius) by 2050. That's a lot of
trees, but you could plant one or two, right? One young tree can
absorb CO2 at a rate of 13 pounds (5 kilograms) per tree. Every. Single.
Year. And that's just an itty bitty baby tree. Once that tree reaches
about 10 years old, it's at its most productive stage of carbon storage.
Then it can absorb 48 pounds (21 kilograms) of CO2 per year. Trees also
remove all other kinds of junk from the air, including sulfur dioxide,
nitrogen oxides, and small particles. So go ahead, plant a tree. It's good
for everybody.

3.Give Up Plastics
The statistics are shocking: People around the world buy 1 million
plastic drinking bottles every minute and use up to 5 trillion single-use
plastic bags every year. Humans are addicted to plastic, and hardly any
of it — about 9 percent — gets recycled. A staggering 8 million tons
(7.25 metric tons) end up in the ocean every year. Break the cycle. Stop
buying bottled water. Say no to plastic shopping bags and use cloth
bags instead. Don't use plastic straws. Drink from a reusable cup
instead of a plastic one. Avoiding plastic can divert a ton of waste from
the oceans and landfills.

4. Eat Sustainable Foods


Today, large-scale food production accounts for as much as 25 percent
of the greenhouse emissions. So how do you eat sustainably? Choosing
food from farmers that aim to conserve the natural resources and have
as little impact on the land as possible. But even buying as much as you
can from local farmers makes a difference. Eating more whole grains,
vegetables, fruits, and nuts, and less red meats and processed foods
does too. Grow your own fruits and vegetables. You can grow a garden!

5. Walk, Bike, or Take Public Transit


Walking and biking are obvious ways to reduce greenhouse gases. Plus
you'll get some good cardio and burn some calories while you do it. If
you live in an area that's not walkable, take advantage of your local
mass transit if you can. Or carpool. Even one car off on the road makes
a difference.

6. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle


You can help reduce pollution just by putting that soda can in the
recycling bin. It really does make a difference. Paper, too. Case in point:
If an office building of 7,000 workers recycled all of its office paper
waste for a year, it would be the equivalent of taking almost 400 cars
off the road [source: EPA]. But you can also take reusable bags to the
grocery, and avoid using disposable plates, spoons, glass, cups, and
napkins. They create huge amounts of waste. And buy products that
are made of recycled materials. It all makes a difference.

Last, of all, I want to say that this time our earth is in danger. So we
need to cover it as soon as possible. Greenhouse gas is increasing day
by day. We have to ensure a green world using tree plantations. Now on
earth, there are more than 7 billion people living there. If we are
planting one tree per person we can make the world green again. And
try to avoid using plastic because I have already discussed how harmful
plastic is for a tree. Last one sentence If you save the earth, the earth
will give a better living place. Otherwise not only on earth, you are also
in danger.
