On the 22nd day of April every year, we celebrate earth day. Happy #earthday2017! Earth day is a day for creating and increasing awareness about protecting our own environment. We need to understand that we share the earth with lots of wonderful plants and animals. These amazing plants and animals care for us and we are responsible for caring for them as well. Humans and animals inhale oxygen and exhale carbon (IV) oxide. Plants in turn inhale carbon (IV) oxide from humans and animals and exhale oxygen which humans need very badly. A very important symbiotic relationship that must continue for us to live in peace and harmony.
This year, 2017 the campaign focuses on environmental and climate literacy. What are those 5 tips we need to remember to care for and protect our environment? They are:
1. REDUCE: Mother earth needs our help to reduce waste, air pollution like combustion fumes from cars) water pollution (e.g oil spillage). Decide to walk the distance or ride a bicycle instead of riding in a bus or car.
2 REUSE : Instead of always patronizing disposables, buy things that you can always re-use.
3. RECYCLE: Non-biodegradable products like plastics, glass, tins, paper should be separated from biodegradable products like food waste for onward recycling. Recycle plastics, glass, tins, paper.
4. REPLENISH: Trees that have been cut down (for the purpose of making a wide range of products from paper to furniture) have to be replenished. Encourage tree planting.
5. RESTORE: Balance should be restored in our environment to make it a peaceful place for us to live in.
