WAYS OF
MAINTAINING
AND
PRESERVING OF
ENVIRONMENT
Part I
1. QUIT BURNING WASTE
Burning waste is usually an
environmentally poor waste
management option because
potential resources are lost and it
can cause air, land and water
pollution. You should always try
to reduce, reuse, recycle or
recover your waste materials
before disposing of them in the
most appropriate way.
2. SAY NO TO PLASTIC
It takes almost 500 years for a
plastic bag to decompose and in
the process it creates many
harmful gasses.
To address this, it is
recommended to reducing the
use, recycling and reusing the
plastic is very important to
combat global warming.
3. CONSERVE WATER
Water is one basic need to live
life and it is becoming an ever
scarcer resource.
Switch to the latest low flush
toilets, use shower wisely and
run your washing machine and
dish washer to the full load
only, to decrease wastage of
water.
4. CONSERVE ELECTRICITY
It is better to switch to
Fluorescent light bulbs as they
consumes 75% less energy and
have more life time in
comparison to incandescent
light bulbs. Be sure to unplug
your machines like TV ,
computer etc before leaving for
a trip because stand-by
functions in them consumes
electricity even if they are
5. USE PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION
DON’T BE SHY TO TAKE
PUBLIC TRANSPO!

According to studies 30% of


carbon-dioxide is added to the
environment by private
transportation. Your little effort
will help in reducing the
demand of petrol and traffic on
roads and will also better your
physical health.
6. REFORESTATION
Planting one single tree a year
is a simple way to contribute to
the environment. Who does not
know that trees absorb carbon
dioxide from the environment,
which serves to decrease
greenhouse gas pollution?
Additionally, trees provide
shade, which can reduce the
amount of energy needed to
cool your home.
Some steps for saving rainforests and, on a broader
scale, ecosystems around the world can be
abbreviated as TREES:
• Teach others about the importance of the
environment and how they can help save
rainforests.
• Restore damaged ecosystems by planting trees
on land where forests have been cut down.
• Encourage people to live in a way that doesn't
hurt the environment
• Establish parks to protect rainforests and wildlife
• Support companies that operate in ways that
minimize damage to the environment
