Four Quick And Easy Steps You Can Initiate To Help Improve Our Ecosystems

Our environment is super fragile. We are getting to the stage where resources and raw materials are becoming more expensive to mine and drill for and scarcer. Landfills space is at a premium and some will argue we are running out space for all the trash we toss away.
One major concern that landfill operators have raised is that 70% of the waste they see coming into their landfills are materials that can actually be recycled. This is quite alarming considering how much we have been told how important recycling is.
And this message has been repeated over and over again for the last  50 years or so years. It appears it is falling on deaf ears. But nevertheless, we continue to sound the alarm and hope that we wake up as a Country before it is too late.
Our underwater drinking resources are constantly being assailed. And we don’t have to look back in time to far to look at what just recently happened in Flint (April 2014).
We don’t think twice about how fast we are depleting our forests. And the water we do have, we waste way too much. But there is hope. We can implement these 4 simple steps and help keep our environment cleaner for generations to come. But one need to act ASAP.

• Some simple suggestions: Use “Green” products around the home that are friendly to you and the environment. Find replacement products for the household hazardous waste that are lurking in your home. Do a Google search to find eco-friendly insecticides. Use latex paint instead of oil-based paints. Plant a tree. This will help keep our air cleaner. Our grocery shelves have many Green products.
• Properly dispose of unused medications: Don’t ever throw unused or unneeded medications in the sink or toilet. They will seep into our drinking water and contaminate it. Many cities are discovering trace amounts of medications in our drinking water. Most counties have drop-off centers for properly disposing of medications. Contact city hall to find out where in your city this can be done. Most city’s police stations will handle this for you.
• Buy a tote bag to take shopping with you: A canvas bag or two will cut drastically on the amount of plastic you will use. Both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans have these giant plastic patches that are slowly destroying marine life and the viability of our seawater. Matter of fact there was a segment on the news last week stating that the Pacific Ocean Plastic Patch has grown to be twice the size of Texas. This is not going to turn out well. Monitor your thermostats and keep them at the lowest levels as possible. This too will help keep costs down.
• Recycle everything you possibly can: Recycling is the simplest thing we can do and can have the greatest impact. Most cities make it very easy to recycle. The majority of towns have curbside bins and some employ what is called Single-Stream Recycling. So you don’t even have to separate all the materials. It is done at the recycling facility. Take your unused materials to your local recycling centers. Don’t throw away unused food. Local food banks will be happy to take your food and give it to the homeless at their soup kitchens.

These are just a few suggestions that you can use to help keep our Planet clean and more livable.
