Recycle

　　Make a list of all the things you can recycle at home and at school and start recycling.In some cases,you can sell the things you recycle.In others,you can turn unwanted items into something useful for another purpose,such as using old plastic bottles for growing plants.Most bottles and jars contain at least 25% recycled glass.And recycling aluminium cans saves 95% of the energy needed to make aluminium from bauxite ore.Recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees,26,000 litres of water,1,700 litres of oil,266 kilograms of air pollution and 2.3 cubic metres of rubbish dump space. 

　　Use less energy

　　The easiest way to save energy is to cycle or walk whenever possible instead of using public transportation.At home and at school,you should only use electric lights and electrical appliances when you need them.There are many other less obvious ways of saving energy.For example,try to ask your mum to buy food which has been grown locally.Why? When people buy food from far away,it takes extra energy to package and ship it by boat,train,truck or plane.

　　Save water

　　You can save water by helping your Dad repair leaking pipes and toilets.Take short showers instead of baths.Some waste water from baths can be used for other purposes,such as watering plants or washing outdoor spaces.It is important to help preserve the local water quality by not pouring dangerous household chemicals down the drain or into the ground.Dispose of them properly.
