What can we do to protect the environment?



We all want to protect our planet, but we are mostly too busy or too lazy to make big changes that would improve our lifestyle and save the environment.

 
Here we have 6 simple habits to implement in our everyday life which will make a difference.
  1. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs
    It is true that these bulbs are more expensive, but they last much longer and they can save energy and in the long term your electricity bill would be reduced.
  2. Donate
    Do you have tons of clothes or things you want to get rid of? You can give them to  someone who needs them.
  3. Turn off your devices
    When you do not use a house device, turn it off. For example, if you don't watch TV, turn it off. Turn off the light when you leave a room. It's an easy habit to take up which will help you save a lot of money.
  4. Walk or cycle
    Driving is one of the biggest causes of pollution. If you want to use your car, ask yourself: Do I really need my car? You can walk or use your bike if the journey is a short one.
  5. Leaky faucets
    Watch leaky faucets, which can cause a significant increase in the the water bill. An average of 120 liters of water can be wasted due to a dripping faucet.
  6. Rainwater
    Think of recovering rainwater. It can be reused for watering plants!
