Saving The Planet - Some Easy Tips
(1)
We all want to reduce our impact on the environment. What can we do to make a difference? Here
are some ideas which everyone can try:
(2)
We throw away a lot of items which we can use again. Did you know that recycling one tin can
save enough energy to power a television for three hours?
• We throw away a third of everything we buy at the supermarket. But at least half of the items
which we throw away are still fresh and tasty!
• Buy things which don't have much packaging. Governments are trying to make supermarkets
reduce their use of packaging, but progress is slow.
• Rubbish in the streets looks horrible, but it is also an environmental problem. Rubbish can pollute
the water we drink and the ground we grow plants in.
(6)
• Cars, motorcycles and planes all cause a lot of pollution. Try to walk or cycle. If your journey is
longer, use public transport, such as buses or trains.
If we all act now, we can make a difference!
