Assignment:- Q. As a person how will you preserve the environment ?

Hi Benudhar,

There are the Top 10 ways through which we can protect our environment.

1. Buy Local

While we’re on the topic of shopping, it’s important to think about the path your stuff takes just to get to you. All that packaging, combined with the fuel needed for delivery, really takes a toll on the environment. Instead, check out your local farmers market for fresh, package-free food, buy from local artists, clothing makers, and retailers before you click for that two-day shipping.

2. Use fewer Chemicals

It is hard to be sure about the long-term negative effects chemicals can have, both on our bodies and on the planet, so it’s best to avoid them if possible. Opt for chemical-free lawn and garden care; all-natural beauty and hygiene items; natural household cleaners; and organic food.

3. Use less Water

Conserving water at home is one of the easiest ways to protect the environment. Think of all the times you consume water, both inside and outside your home; then, make adjustments as you can. For example:

• Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth.
• Fix leaky faucets.
• Make your water use more efficient by aerating faucets, using sprinklers that reduce runoff and installing low-flow toilets and efficient shower heads.
• Collect and use rainwater for watering plants.

4. Conserv Electricity

Anytime you can use less electricity, it’s a win for the planet. Try some of these quick ways to conserve energy around your home:

• Trade incandescent bulbs for more energy-efficient CFLs or LEDs.
• Use smart power strips, which turn off the power to electronics when they’re not being used.
• Maintain your heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system.
• When it’s time to buy a new appliance, choose an Energy Star-certified model.
• Use ceiling fans to circulate warm air in the winter and cold air in the summer.

5. Walk, bike or carpool

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.

If travelling on foot or two wheels isn’t feasible, try carpooling with a friend, neighbor or coworker to a mutual destination.

6. Shop Secondhand

Did you know it takes over 700 gallons of water to grow enough cotton to make just one plain t-shirt!

Shopping secondhand also applies for many other categories of consumer goods: children’s games and toys, shoes, appliances, furniture, cars and more.

7. Recycle properly

Educate yourself on what can and cannot be recycled in your bins at home. Throwing the wrong items in the recycle bin can result in an entire load being rejected.

You can also easily find out how to recycle special items such as electronics, batteries and appliances.

8. Upcycle more

Get creative with your useless or unwanted items by upcycling—basically, turning trash into treasure. Creating something new such as artwork, toys or jewelry is both satisfying and one of the best ways to protect the environment.

9. Make Compost

Let your food and yard waste rot naturally in the soil instead of sending it to the landfill.

Composting your food scraps and yard waste offers double rewards: it keeps an incredible amount of trash out of the waste stream, and it produces free, rich soil to use in your garden.

10. Consume less

Curbing consumption can have a huge impact on the environment. The three "R's"—reduce, reuse and recycle— get a lot of attention, but the planet could benefit from some focus on the most important and most underrepresented "R": refuse.

When you refuse, you say "no," which is not always easy. And they almost always end up either in the trash or forgotten in the back of a closet.

Next time you’re tempted to purchase or accept a non-essential item, think about whether it would truly improve your life. If not, it's ok to just say, "No, thanks!"
