Yong Huei Wang – Effective Tips to Protect the Environment
- 2. Introduction Protecting the environment is essential if we want to preserve the flora and fauna of the natural world. Environmental protection is a practice of protecting the natural environment on individual, organization controlled or governmental levels, for the benefit of both the environment and humans.
- 3. Tips to Protect the Environment Save Water Go Vegan Buy Responsibly Take Community Action Plant Trees Appreciate the Environment
- 4. Save Water Install a water saving device in your taps, toilets and showers. Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth and collect rainwater to water your back yard with instead of using a hose. Simple acts like this can all add up and you can save gallons of water every day.
- 5. Go Vegan Animal agriculture takes up vast swathes of land and emits huge amounts of gases. In addition, animal agriculture is responsible for deforestation as forests are cut down to make room for pastures or for crops for animals to eat. Get your energy from a plant based diet and help to save the environment.
- 6. Buy Responsibly Buy items that will last – do not succumb to the culture of ‘fast fashion’ and buy cheap clothing that wears out quickly and ends up in landfill. Look for ethical, vegan companies with a low carbon footprint if possible. Your buying habits can protect the environment!
- 7. Take Community Action Become a conservation activist. Writer letters, attend demonstrations and educate others about how to save the environment. Let corporations with a poor ecological record know that you will take your custom elsewhere unless they change their ways. People power can really get things done!
- 8. Plant Trees Cultivate wild spaces in your back yard, or engage in community reforestation projects. Even the simple act of planting bee or butterfly friendly plants in your garden can really help to boost populations of these beautiful (yet often struggling) insect populations in your local area.
- 9. Appreciate the Environment It is hard to feel motivated to save the environment when we feel disconnected from it. So, take time to appreciate the environment. Go for walks, meditate in a local park or other green space and do a little gardening each weekend.
