FIVE ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE TO

TAKE CARE OF THE


ENVIRONMENT

SAVE WATER
Washing your car with a bucket instead of
the hose, collecting and reusing the water
from the shower, and bathing faster are
some ways to achieve this.

REDUCE YOUR
ELECTRICITY
CONSUMPTION
Some of the things you can do are unplug
your appliances when you're not using
them, change the bulbs to LEDs, and turn
off the light when you don't need it.

SEPARATE WASTE
Waste is not only classified into "organic"
and "inorganic", find out which is your
nearest recycling center and in which
categories they separate the waste.
Another thing that you can do is have a
homemade compost made with the
vegetable waste that you generate at
home.

REPAIR AND REUSE


Using the things you already have is the
most sustainable. When an object you
already have at home breaks down or
breaks, try to repair it or find a new use for
it instead of throwing it away, thus
avoiding generating waste and saving
energy.

MOVE BY BICYCLE
OR PUBLIC
TRANSPORT
For short and medium stretches, the
bicycle is ideal, but if you have to move
further, try to do it by public transport or
organize with other people to share a
single car, in this way you not only take
care of the environment, but also you help
reduce traffic in your city.
