Saving a planet sounds like a big deal, right? Well, in reality it is way bigger! But don’t you worry, there are many easy and simple ways to do your bit for the environment and help save the planet. Take a look at the list of ten simple things to do your bit and be more environmental friendly. These steps are recommended for everyone in order to reduce the effect of years of abuse on the planet. Use Energy Efficient Light bulbs This is a very simple way to reduce the power consumption. Not only will this help save energy, but also save your money. Replacing just one light bulb in each household throughout UK would have a tremendous effect. It would be equivalent to removing one million cars from the road. Adjust The Temperature Adjusting the temperature of your designer radiator can save you 10% on your energy consumption over the year. If it is possible, set a timer on your designer radiator so that it does not need to be on when you are not at home. Recycle Newspapers Recycle your old newspapers because 69% of them are thrown away every day. Recycling once a week would mean saving half a million trees. A better option would be to go online and avoid newspaper altogether. Have A Vegetarian Day You are not required to be vegetarian for life, but what you can do is commit to one meat-free day in a week. Nearly 2500 gallons of water is used to produce a single pound of beef. Shorten Your Shower Time Cutting down just two minutes of your shower time can save more than ten gallons of water. If everyone saved just one gallon of water, then it would be two times more water saved than it is currently drawn daily from the resources. Plant Trees
There are a number of benefits of planting trees in your garden. First off, it is good for environment and benefits both land and air. Secondly, it can provide shade to your house cutting down the usage of air conditioner and can even increase the value of your property. So, make it an annual event where each family member plants a new tree. Use Cruise Control If your car has the feature of cruise control, then use it because you bought it. Using it will help improve mileage by at least 15%. This will also help you save money, fuel and environment. Turn Off The Lights When there is no one in the room, then who are the lights on for? Do remember to turn off the lights when no one is in the room. Maintain Your Vehicle Regularly If your vehicle’s engine is running smoothly, the filters are clean and tyres are inflated correctly then it means your vehicle will be more efficient on fuel. This reduces pollution and saves you money. Buy Local Products Where possible, buy local products. This saves all the pollution incurred by transporting goods long distance. Great things start with small beginnings and you can always contribute your small bits to save the humongous task of saving the planet. Every bit counts and has a greater effect than you think!
