How to make our surroundings clean and green
Everyone loves to stay in a clean and green environment, we always dream of a clean and pollution free environment. Very few people make an effort to take any action to maintain a clean environment. Even though civic agencies are charged with the responsibility to ensure that the environment is clean, it is also important to support them to maintain a clean and a green environment. It is our responsibility to keep our surroundings neat because this will help us live healthily.
There are many we can do to keep our surroundings clean since every household generates wastes, we should avoid throwing the waste everywhere. Garbage pollutes our environment, especially the plastic bags. We need to be eco-friendly by using bags that can be recycled like paper or jute bags instead of plastic bags. We can only maintain a green environment by planting trees and plants to make our environment beautiful. Plants can help in cleaning the air, having them in the house will reduce indoor pollution by more than half. Since we live in the society and we are part of the environment, we have the moral responsibility to contribute to a clean environment.
To make our environment clean and green, we need to take action and be the change that we want to see in others; everyone keeps on complaining about how other people are polluting the environment without taking any corrective measure. Most of the time we also pollute the environment by engaging in several activities like littering. As change agents, we need to set a good example by using dustbins and burning waste to keep our environment clean.
Reuse products whenever you can, manufacturers use a lot of materials when packaging hence we end up with many waste products, instead of throwing some of the items used for packaging we can try reusing them. For instance, boxes used for packaging can be used for storage. If only we can be creative, you will be surprised to know many ways of reusing items that you thought were trash. To maintain a clean environment, it is important to buy items made of non-toxic and recycled materials to help conserve valuable resources. Instead of buying disposable plates, cups invest good quality items that can be washed and be reused.
One of the simplest ways of maintaining a good environment is to take care of our trees because tree helps in purifying the air and controlling air pollution. Having allotted of trees within our neighborhood will enable us to stay healthy. Proper use of water is equally important since water is the most important resources proper use and storage of water will help have enough to use. Excess or deficit of water is harmful, water logging around the houses can result to disease because mosquitoes will breed causing malaria and other deadly diseases. There are several ways we can get involved to save the environment.
Many charity events in our community are devoted toward saving the environment. You can choose to participate in these events at the local level to make a difference in the society. You will feel great by helping in a worthwhile course and set a good example for others. We do not need allot of resources to save the environment, sometimes the best thing to do is to make small changes in our everyday activities. The small things will add up to make a significant difference in our environment. You need to review everything you do and see what you can do differently to maintain a clean and green environment.
