Seven Simple Things You Can Do to Help Protect the Earth
- Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Cut down on what you throw away. Follow the three “R’s” to conserve natural resources and landfill space.
- Volunteer. Volunteer for cleanups in your community. You can get involved in protecting your watershed, too.
- Conserve water. The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean.
- Choose sustainable. Make smart energy choices. Use energy efficient light bulbs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Flip the light switch off when you leave the room.
- Shop wisely. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.
- Plant a tree. Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate change.
- Bike more. Drive less.
