Help the planet

The best thing would be today is to involve as many people in saving of our nature as possible. We can do anything good even during doing our household chores. I think there have to be few things to help our country. These suggestions should be known everywhere in our country.
1. Plant a tree. "Going green" doesn't have to be a daunting task that means sweeping life changes. Simple things can make a difference. Prune certain bushes, do the weeding, plant bulbs. Create new life! This way, few years later, you can put your feet up near your small forest and understand the importance of what is done.
2. Change your light. If every family, which lives in a cottage switched to fluorescent bulbs, the pollution reduction would be equivalent to removing one million cars from the road. Use energy-saving appliances at home.
3. Turn off computers at night. By turning off your computer instead of leaving it in sleep mode, you can stop consuming 40 watt-hours per day. If you leave anything on standby, or charge anything unnecessarily, it spoils your savings as well as it spoils nature. Conserve the energy.
4. Go vegetarian once a week. One less meat-based meal a week helps the planet and your diet. For example: It requires 2,500 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. You will also also save some trees as animal's habitat. Not only trees - meadows and slopes, rivers and lakes too. For each hamburger that originated from animals raised on rainforest land, approximately 55 square feet of forest have been destroyed, and it leads to deforestation. Also try not to buy disposable products. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, which are in season.
5. Recycle. The government should tell that to every green activist. Creating groundbreaking enterprises will involve people in visitins sustainable places and doing various things. For example, recycled glass reduces related air pollution by 20 percent and related water pollution by 50 percent.
6. Buy second-hand. Second hand stores often sell these items in excellent condition since they are used for such a short period of time, and will generally buy them back when you no longer need them. Reduce your consumption and spendings on things you can buy in these shops. Original things can even attract other people!
