Reduce

Gas

You can reduce gas by car-pooling when traveling places.

Another why you can reduce gas is when you are going in to town or have a shopping list so you don’t forget any thing, so you don’t have to drive all the way to town because you forgot one thing.

Water

Reducing water is really easy all you have to do is the little things and they all add up. Like start with take shorter showers

 And don’t water you lawn as long as you normally do. Your lawn will still be green.

Also you can turn off the water when you brush you teeth it will save about 1 gallon of water.

Recycle

Cans

Reusing cans are very easy.  For every six-pack of cans you recycle you can light a 60-watt light bulb for 1 hour.

 What makes aluminum cans so different from other recycling metal because it is the most available for recycling.   

Paper

We use paper so much we use it in printer and paper towels, and we are wasting trees to. Did you know 1 tree can produce 100 gallons of oxygen.

Please buy recycled paper it will save trees and energy, you can also buy smelly pencils that are made out of recycled paper too.

Plastic

They is one small way that can make a big difference when you go shopping you should use a cloth bag don’t use or plastic.

 Don’t go around using plastic cups it a waste of money and plastic. 

Different energy sources

Alternative energy

 

Wind energy

Windmills are great for if you want energy and helping the earth. All you have to buy a windmill and there you have it.

Many people in farm lands use windmills to get energy it nice. You don’t have to give a big chunck of money to a energy place.

 

So you see helping the world is not that hard all you have to do is go out and do the littlest thing.  Try it what will it hurt.  

If just 25% of U.S. families used 10 fewer plastic bags a month, we would save over 2.5 BILLION bags a year. here is a link to more interesting facts: http://library.thinkquest.org/11353/facts.htm
