can you do for your planet?
Reduce - Reuse - Recycle - Avoid .
With these four words have the power to change, little by little, our customs and try to save our abused and Blue Planet.
Everything we do-or fail to do-at home or on the street has any impact on the Earth.
REDUCE
To give a respite to our planet, we must reduce the volume of products we eat and use everything that comes from natural resources that can be completed someday. Do not forget that for the production of all kinds, we need raw materials, water, energy, minerals, etc. that may run or take too much time on renewal. Remember that most of the products we currently consume waste generated in many cases unnecessary and excessive packaging of many products, which end up polluting the air, water and soil. Reducing the volume of products needed to constantly bombard us in advertising. Choose products with less packaging, and especially those who use recyclable materials. Reduce the use, at home, toxins and pollutants, to pollute our rivers and seas less. Reduce use of plastic bags for purchase. Always Bring fabric or shopping cart. Reduce the use of aluminum foil. Reduce consumption of disposable products. Always choose the alternative of glass, ceramic or fabric. Reduce consumption of energy: turn off the TV when you're not watching. Do not leave open the fridge when not needed. Cycle or public transport. Turn off lights when not needed and whether to buy new bulbs, try to be so-called "efficient", although more expensive, ultimately saving on electricity bills, also do not melt as much as the others! In winter, it is convenient to close the radiators in unused rooms and set the thermostat at a moderate temperature. Reduce water consumption. Water is not a toy: it is a treasure that we all have to care. Turn off the tap if you're not using the water (eg brushing teeth). Take a shower instead of bath. Remember at home that need to fix the leaky faucet, or the tanker is leaking. Dropwise can splurge unnecessarily, and without that we hardly realize it, many liters daily.
REUSE
The more objects reuse, will produce less waste and less finite resources we have to "spend." Buy liquids in returnable glass bottles, that is, those that must be returned in the shop or market to buy new ones. When using paper to write, do not write only on one side and then pull the sheet. Use other side for notes, drafts, take notes, draw, etc. You can also use old paper for packaging. If you take home utilizais coffee filter paper proposes to buy reusable and washable filters. It is cheaper and produces less waste. Are you tired of your games, or have grown too big to play with them? Instead of throwing them away, you give them to other children, through charities, for example. The clothes you've outgrown, maybe you can help someone smaller than you. Remember that not all children have the same oportunidades.También wood and rags can be leveraged and reused for other purposes. Search your area for somewhere to pick them up. RECYCLE
consists reuse materials to make new similar products. This step should be the last of the three mentioned. If you can not reduce the consumption of anything in particular, nor reuse, then, to purchase, always keep in mind this product can be recycled. What can be recycled without problem? paper and cardboard, glass, food waste, etc ... (To make compost, also known as compost). Convince your school, college, workplace, to use recycled paper and also to contact a service for collecting waste paper. So do not throw away all the paper used, but may return to your hands in the form of recycled paper. Never forget that you use paper, had to die a tree. At home, separate all paper and cardboard that would go to waste (newspapers, boxes, etc..). Find out what is the nearest place where you can take. If you can not find a liquid product in a refillable glass container, still picking glass and then bring the empty bottles to a glass container. But always first investigates whether in-store pick up the bottles for reuse. It is always preferable to "reuse" and not have to spend so much energy into making new bottles.
AVOID
are a few tips to encourage you to continue whenever possible. In this way, you will contribute to less pollution among all Earth. If we stop buying and use these kinds of products harmful to the environment and began to order products that are more respectful of nature, consume less energy and can be reused or recycled, industry and traders will have to start changing. In our hand is conseguirlo.Y remember, do not throw trash on the ground. Neither the streets of our cities or the countryside or the sea or rivers, are dumps!. Tissues. Use handkerchiefs. The industry of disposable products is generating more garbage around the world. Battery operated toys. The batteries are very polluting once we throw away. Especially smaller call button and alkaline. Evita also toys and objects that are made of plastic. In the manufacturing process and to get rid of them, plastics are a major source of pollution (also derived from petroleum). The types of plastics are very varied, and most can not be recycled. In addition, recycling of plastics, eg PVC, is a highly polluting process. Nor is it true that plastic is destroyed without harming nature. Some plastics are broken down into very small particles that can not see, but remain ahí.Las soda cans, are made of metals such as iron, tin and aluminum, whose extraction is very expensive and are minerals we must save. Not recycled because they give very little money, and increase the volume of waste. In addition, these cans come in packs of six, joined by plastic rings that kill marine birds and fish trapped in them. The tetra-brik containers, which are a symbol of our society based on products of "throwaway". All types of aerosols and sprays. There are free alternatives substances harmful to the ozone layer or not the greenhouse effect: sprays, brushes, deodorant tube, etc. Other products to avoid belonging to the group of "disposable" are: paper towels for the kitchen (use kitchen towels that can be washed), cups and plates and cutlery plastic (to make holidays), etc ... Ask your family and friends not to buy anything made of wood from the rainforest, or with some material from endangered animals, ivory, coral, fur, tortoise, turtle soup, dolphin meat, etc. Also ask them not to buy animals in danger of extinction for them in captivity (birds and exotic fish for example). When shopping, avoid buying food presented in "trays" of synthetic cork (polystyrene stru) and wrapped in clear plastic. They are an artificial and unnecessary, you throw in a few minutes after it is purchased, and whose destruction is also contaminated.
