10 THINGS WE CAN DO TO HELP OUR PLANET
I have been thinking a lot about what my parents taught me concerning environment protection. So, here are some things I felt like sharing.
- Save energy by always turning off the lights in each room when we leave it. This also goes for turning off our laptops when we go to sleep and not leaving our chargers plugged when the phone is fully charged.
- Save water by turning the tap off while we brush our teeth. Do not let the water run while you keep brushing your teeth or in the shower. Think of the people in the world who don’t have access to fresh water at all.
- Control emissions. Do not use hairsprays, spray deodorants, pain in pressured cans they all contain the CFCs which damage our O-zone no matter how much the label states they don’t.
- Save gas. Limit our car usage and save ourselves a trip to the gym by taking a walk instead of taking the car. Ride the bike or roller-blade instead!
- Adopt an orphan. The same can go for animal orphans. By contributing to organisations such as Oxfam or UNICEF you can donate an insignificant amount to feed a child anywhere in the world.
- Plant a tree. So many trees are taken down every single day, the least you can do is plant one. There is a saying that every person should leave behind them a child and a tree.
- Re-use your plastic bags. Every time you go to the shop, make sure you bring your own bag so that you don’t have to take a new one each time. In some places in
- Recycle paper/plastic/glass if possible. If you have the chance to separate old garbage to be recycled, do it! Some recycling companies even pay per pound of paper/plastic/copper.
- Limit your usage of chemicals. At least when it comes down to cleaning detergents with a big X on them. Maybe they unclog the pipes but have you thought about what they do to the environment?
- Do not litter your environment! This is one thing I kindly ask you to teach your children – not to littler the environment!
By doing the above you won’t stop global warming on the climate change but you will make your contribution and that is a start.

Great ideas to save the earth. We should all do our part to save it from utter destruction. Remember, we have only one planet. Yet.
What a coincident Merili, my daughter blogged about global warming yesterday too :D
Yes...we must help in our own little way :D
Nice posting - and a great checklist of easy things to do - its amazing how simple they are to accomplish but people forget or lack the interest in taking care of their planet - I wish more people care about the planet they live on.
i've been following most of the items on your list. sometimes people don't realise that just a little effort can mean so much when everybody does the same. bravo!
Great post! We can only save the planet if we all work together.
Draga moja Meri,
