How To Save The Planet

Hey guys it's Shaneika .Here are some really simple but effective things you and you're children can do to help save the planet from the destruction caused by pollution, greenhouse gas and global warming.

• Make sure all the lights in your house have energy-saving bulbs. Always turn of any lights that aren't needed.

• Turn off or unplug your game console, TV, DVD player, and stereo completely when you are not using them. If the red standby light is on, the appliance is still using electricity.


• Make sure your family recycles everything possible. Newspapers, glass, cans, old clothing, cardboard, plastic, containers, and paper should all be recycled

• Don't throwaway toys, books, or Cd's that you don't want anymore. Donate them to a local charity.
  
• Reuse things whenever possible. For example, take along old plastic bags or canvas tote the next time you go to the super market. Tea lights in old jars make magical lights for the garden when you are hosting a barbecue.


• Save water. Turn off the faucet while brushing you're teeth. Fill a glass with water to rinse you're mouth. Don't run the faucet to rinse plates when you do the dishes. Use the basin of clean water instead.Get you're parents to buy water bucket for the backyard so you can collect rainwater. Use this water to water the plants instead of a hose.

• If you feel cold put on an extra layer of clothing - don't turn up the heat.
  ENJOY BEING GREEN EVERYONE!!
