A Thousand And One Ways To Improve And Save Our Environment

Unfortunately, many of us don’t give our ecosystems a second thought. But there are many compelling reasons that we should not only contemplate the effects of not recycling, etc… but our environment is in trouble. We are running out of raw materials and we are on a path of wiping out our forests to name a few issues.

Landfills are becoming problematic due to the fact that nobody wants one in their backyard and it costs millions of dollars just to get a new one built. One day we may wake up realizing too late that we have no clean drinking water.

Fertilizers and other harmful substances are destroying our underground aquifers. Pollution and litter are everywhere. Just take a look at your local beach and see all the plastic bottles laying around the beaches. However, there are steps we can take to help slow down the mitigating circumstances that are affecting our little world. Easy and practical solutions you can implement this minute to do your part to help make the environment a more pristine state.

The following suggestions will go a long way in helping to keep our ecosystems vibrant:

•  Considering painting your home? Use latex-based paint. Oil-based paints release harmful fumes
• Check your tire pressure. Not only will you have a  more comfortable ride, but you will save on tire wear. This will give your tires a longer life and that translates into fewer tires going to the landfill
• Plant a tree. Trees emit oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, which can harmful to the air we breath
• A dishwasher uses up to 12 gallons of water. So make sure your dishwasher is full before you use it
• Use your bicycle if possible instead of your car to get to work or run errands. Or, consider ride-sharing
• Don’t put hazardous waste into a rental dumpster. These materials if they make it undetected to a landfill can cause havoc with waste seeping into our underground water and air pollution
• Purchase a tote bag to when you go shopping. Plastic bags are a hazard to the environment. They release petrochemicals that can leach into underground aquifers.
• Use rechargeable batteries. Batteries are full of  harmful metals
• Conserve energy. Switch off lights in rooms that are not being used and lower your thermostat. This helps you save on your utility bills
