    Little Things to Help the Environment

    Submitted by dwtssoccer19 on Thu, 07/17/2008 - 3:21pm.

    Here are 6 little ways to help the environment:

    1: Turn lights off before you leave a room - that way energy isn't wasted.

    2: Unplug all electronics after usage - you may not know this, but even if the console is off and plugged in, it still uses energy!

    3: Recycle your plastics, glasses, and newspapers - that way they can be made into something new, and won't end up in our bodies of water.

    4: Use BOTH sides of paper when you write - it will make our air cleaner because many more trees will be saved. » read more
