How you can help the environment
Use less water
Have showers rather than baths. Short showers use less water and also there is less use of energy to heat the water. Have 3 minute showers by wetting yourself, switching off the water while you soap all over and shampoo your hair, then turn the water back on and rinse under the shower, and then turn it off. (Not keeping yourself clean is NOT an option.)
Clean your teeth by putting water into a glass. Use the water for wetting your toothbrush, rinsing your mouth and cleaning your brush.
Help your family save water by using a watering can to water plants and vegetables in the garden rather than using a hose. Maybe you could help recycle the water from the washing machine.
Use a bucket of water to wash your bike, or the dog.
Help your school save water by switching off taps properly and using the water fountain for drinking water.
Use less power
Things to do so you won't need to run the air-conditioner:
Keep doors and curtains or blinds closed in summer during the day to keep out the heat.
Open doors and windows on summer evenings to let cooler air into the house.
During winter open curtains and blinds during the day to let in any sunshine, then close them in the evening to keep in the heat.
Don't switch on lights during the day.
Switch off the computer, tv or radio if you are not using it.
Use the new light bulbs. 15 watts in a new bulb is equal to 75 watts in an old one. They last longer too.
Switch lights off when you leave a room.
Turn your TV or computer off at the wall rather than use power by leaving it on standby.
At school remember to switch off lights when the room is empty.
Walk or use your bike whenever it is safe to do so.
With these little changes it can go a long way in making our environments safer and better.
