With the increase of global warming, water pollution, dying oceans and endangered animals, this planet needs a rescue. Then as a smart human being, you should be ready to help it and do what you can do to make our planet smile again. Here are some steps to save our planet.

First step is to save the air, there are some common steps to reduce the air pollution and keep it healthy and fresh

1.       Plant more trees, don’t cut them very often.

The trees produce more oxygen for the humans so that they can breathe freshly. Imagine that there is no trees, with hot weather and pollution, can you live? So let’s go green.

2.       Leave your vehicles at home if they are not necessary to be used.

Do more walking and riding bicycle than driving a car or motor when you go anywhere. Your vehicles produce much pollution when you ride them more often and will pollute the air. Moreover, they will have a chance to make global warming. Then, do less flight as long as it can be reached by land transportation.

3.       Use more solar energy than electricity.

Don’t let your electricity on when you leave home. Always turn off the electricity at night. Use the solar energy to warm the water and open your window to let the light in, don’t use lamp to light your room. Use electricity only when you need it, its energy will cause heat and cause global warming.

4.       Buy local goods

Buy local goods will reduce the transportation of those things to reach you. And it’s the opposite, you don't need to go far away to buy what you need, this will reduce the use of fuel and air pollution.

5.       Eat more vegetables and local meat.

The industries of meat also make pollution and increase the global warming. A little thing you do when you eat less meat from local industry, it has a huge influence to our earth.

6.       Report the smoking vehicles.

Whenever you see smoking vehicles cause air pollution, just report them to the nearest local agency.

The second step is saving our land. Don’t let your backyard full of pollution from the waste you make

1.       Use less chemicals.

Use less chemicals like shampoo, soap and anything else that cause pollution. When the waste is absorb by the land, it will cause unhealthy environment and end up with the water supply.

2.       Throw the toxic to the right way.

Wasting paint, oil and other chemicals should not be thrown in the grass. It will soak into the ground and end up with the polluted water supply.

3.       Use less plastic.

When you go to the market, it will be useful if you bring your own bag. Most super markets use plastic as a carrier as it cant be recycled. So using less plastic is beneficial to reduce the waste. Then, you may replace plastic to paper. Paper can be blown into pieces that will be recycled by the ground.

4.       Make your own dishes.

The safe thing that you may do in daily life is making your own food. Plant your own vegetables or your local and raw meat or fish then make your own dish. Imagine that you buy canned fish, or food wrapped by materials that cannot be recycled. Then, also make your own healthy drinks. Cans and plastics from softdrink cannot be recycled.

5.       Recycle your waste or compost.

To reduce the land pollution, you should do anything that can be recycled. Buy products that can be reused, use plate when you eat and reduce the use of food box from the restaurant which is only disposable. Then, compost your leftover after you finish eating, and give it to your hungry plants.

 

6.       Make your own laundry.

Do laundry by your hand. If it can be done by your hands then why not? Too much residual of water detergent will make unhealthy land. Buy washing the clothes with your won hands, you can reduce the use of detergent and save your water.

The third step to save our earth is conserving the use of water. Use the water in a wise way and don’t throw in vain.

1.       Conserving water at home in a daily life is the first step you can do. 

     Fix your water leaks, ask your favorite plumber to stop it so that you can use water wisely. Don’t let the faucet running while you brush your teeth and also don’t let your water running continuously when you wash your clothes or dishes. Use your water nicely, don’t throw it in vain.

2.       Throw the toxic waste to the right way.

Paint, oil from your car will make water pollution. Those will be soaked into the earth and influence the water production under the ground. Then, reduce your chemicals use. Soap, shampoo, detergent will absorbed into the earth and don’t use too much shampoo when washing your car, it will flow into your grass and kill the living things there. Ask your local sanitation department about how to dispose your waste.

3.       Identify water polluters.

Involve yourself to be a volunteer in cleaning the river or sea or lake. Contact your representative about the chemical-free and express your idea about the waste that is produced by industries and other businesses. Also give your people in your area some advice about water pollution.

The last one is keeping the animals around your home. Animals need space to live, their homes are getting narrowed and they don’t where to live.

1.       Make your environment safe to the living things around.

     Provide the wildlife to interact each other by planting more trees and attach water supply for them. Many animals from insects to birds have lost their habitat because of humans’ deed. So if you have space, just welcome them. And don’t kill or hunt them for your own fun.

2.       Don’t be over fishing.

Oceans are the food supply for humans in the world, though nowadays humans often destroy the marine. So, use your sustainable practice, don’t harm them, eat fish which grow in season and don’t pollute them.

3.       Respect animals.

Not only humans, animals must also be respected. Many people hunt them for their own benefits. So, just let them free by providing space around your home, let the squirrels, birds, burrowers animals make their ecosystem around your home.
