We frequently talk about saving our
environment and how important it is to
conserve the natural resources. Since the
school years we have been learning about
the importance of a healthy environment.
Environmental education has made us
realize the need to preserve our natural
wealth. But when did you last take a step
towards saving the environment? Do you
remember having resorted to a measure that
can contribute to the safeguard of nature?
When have you last acted upon the need to
save environment? It is high time we take
some major steps towards saving the environment. It is high time we wake up and make some
serious efforts to save nature.

When we think of saving the environment, we often imagine devising some lengthy procedures
and serious measures of saving the planet. We think of all the constituents of the environment
and wonder what we can do to offer them safety. We think of afforestation and wonder how we
can contribute. We think of the precious animal life and sit puzzled finding ways of saving
animals. Pollution of water, land and air tops our list of environment-unfriendly factors and
serious thoughts of curbing pollution crowd our mind. But the need of the day is to rise above
thoughts and words and take some serious action. Each one of us can actually contribute to
saving the environment by choosing simple ways of doing so. Following are the simple ways to
save the environment.

There are plenty of little steps that people can take at home to help save the environment. While
the eco-footprint of each step is small, thousands of people doing the same thing can make a
difference. In making some small changes to the way that you do things at home, you are
gradually making a difference, even as an individual. You will kill costs and improve your health
at the same time, so helping to save the environment isn't a totally altruistic exercise!
Simple Ways to Save the Environment

Why not resolve to plant some trees every year? If each of us plants one little tree, it can amount
to a great amount of a forestation making the environment healthier. Increasing the use of
bicycles or making a habit to walk down short distances can contribute to reduction in air
pollution. Try to minimize the use of vehicles. Use CFC-free products. For some destinations,
the use of vehicles has no better options. But at least maintain your vehicles; clean their exhaust
pipes, keep the pollution they cause under strict control.

Look at the gadgets you use at home. Are all of them necessary? Do you maintain them well and
use them efficiently? Replace the air filters for your air conditioning unit once a month. Turn off
the ACs as also the lights and fans in unused rooms. Make sure to switch off the lights, the
television or radio systems before you leave the house. Do not keep your computer switched on
while you are not using it. Did you know that your refrigerator and water heaters consume a lot
of power? A careful use of these gadgets is a good way to save the electricity.

One of the most important constituents of the environment is water. Preventing the wastage of
water and curbing water pollution is one of our primary duties. Turn off the taps; do not let the
buckets overflow! The use of bath showers and heavy-flushes in toilets leads to an excessive
usage of water. Do not dump garbage down a storm drain. Do not pollute water bodies.

Recycling is one of the best measures of saving the environment. Try to use renewable sources
of energy. Resort to the use of renewable natural resources. A simple way to do this is to lessen
the use of rubber and plastic. Instead, use paper bags and cardboard containers. Even a simple
habit of buying in bulk can save a lot of packaging material, thus contributing to saving the
environment. Buy the products that you can reuse. When in office, print only when it is
absolutely necessary. Printing every soft copy leads to a heavy wastage of paper. Remember to
switch off your computer when no one is using it. Avoid an excessive use of air conditioners in
the office. Use emails instead of paper correspondence. Do not use disposable cups when you
have an option of using the ceramic ones.
Minimize the use of animal products, which involve their killing. Animal fur and ivory are some
of the excessively used products that are gradually leading to the extinction of the animals that
provide them. Resolve not to hunt animals. Follow the principles of saving the environment and
encourage others in taking to environment-saving activities. Activities like composting can be of
great help in recycling of garbage into useful manures. Avoid an extensive use of chemical
fertilizers and synthetic nutrients. Natural manures are a better option for farms and gardens.
These are some of the simple ways in which we can contribute towards saving nature. A small
step by each of us can make a huge leap towards saving the environment.
