Admit it, you contributed to the current state of our environment. By current state, we mean dilapidated and abused to the core without guilt.
Before you spring into defense, think back to the Sunday paper you tossed in the garbage instead of the recycling bin, or the cigarette butts and gum wrappers you've tossed out the window. It's nearly impossible to begin calculating the amount of energy you have required and consumed since you were born.
The fact is, unless you've been living like a hermit, holed up in the woods and surviving on cold scraps of meat and vegetables, then you are part of the problem. It is not too late, though, in fact, now is the best time for you to make an effort.
Just by simply unplugging your appliances when not in use, you are already saving electricity. Appliances, when left plugged, still consume electricity because they are just in a standby mode. Unplugging them not only saves the Earth a little, it also saves you money from your electric bill.
Another thing to do is stop using those plastic straws. Did you ever wonder what happened to them once you had finished with them? They certainly are being put in anyone else's drink. They go straight into the trash.
Sometimes the oldies are the best, and this is true here too, you should adhere to the three Rs- reduce, reuse, and recycle. Reuse old newspapers for lining or cleaning, reduce the amount of plastic bags you use, and recycle glass. These are just some of the ways you can bring the three R's to life.
You can bring your new green lifestyle to your work office as well by recycling any and all unneeded paper products. Set up a workplace policy to get everyone to contribute.
There are still a lot of ways on how you can help Mother Nature heal and most of them are quite easy, actually. The trick here is to feel the effects of the climate change, the need for cleaner water and the responsibility to contribute to change.
