CONTAMINANTS INTO THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
THAT CAUSES ADVERSE CHANGE.

CONTAMINANTS INTO THE NATURAL
ENVIRONMENT ?

Lets see what can
we do as an
individual
3R
• ADOPT 3R:REDUCE ,RECYCLE,REUSE.
• REDUCING IS CUTTING BACK ON THE AMOUNT OF TRASH
WE MAKE
• RECYCLING IS USING TRASH TO REMAKE NEW GOODS
THAT CAN BE SOLD AGAIN
• REUSING IS FINDING A NEW WAY TO USE TRASH SO
THAT WE DON’T HAVE TO THROW IT OUT
TRY TO SAY NO TO PLASTIC
• USE ECO-FRIENDLY OR BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS
INSTEAD OF PLASTIC WHICH ARE MADE UP OF HIGHLY
TOXIC SUBSTANCE INJURIOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
SWITCHING TOWARDS CLEAN ENERGY
SWITCHING FROM FOSSILE FUELS TO CLEAN ENERGY CAN
REDUCE EMISSION AND PROVIDE CLEAN FUEL FOR
COOKING AND HEATING.
THESE INCLUDE BIO-ENERGY,
WIND,SOLAR,OCEAN,THERMAL,
GEOTHERMAL,
HYDROELECTRICITY
ETC.
 BASICS ETHICS THAT WE CAN FOLLOW

• KEEP YOUR CAR PROPERLY MAINTAINED TO KEEP IT IN GOOD

RUNNING CONDITION TO AVOID SMOKE EMISSIONS.
