HOW CAN WE FIGHT POLLUTION?
WHAT CAN WE DO?

What can you do to fight

pollution and waste that
have largely engulfed the
Earth?
You can do many simple ways
almost effortlessly but consciously.
Did you know that unplugging
electrical appliances and device
every time after use can save
much energy and money?
Think about your DVD player,
television, or mobile phone
charger.
Have you properly cleaned
the coils at the back of your
refrigerator?
Doing this annually can keep it
working efficiently, thus saving
energy. Keeping the fridge at
two-thirds full and opening its
door as little as possible and less
often can also minimize electrical
consumption.
Always see to it that the
thermostat is set at normal.
Did you know too, that
correctly choosing local plants
for your garden can save you
water?
Yes, you can always select plants
that thrive on the normal rainfall
of your region.
Saving just a little bit of water
each time you turn on the tap can
add up to monetary savings over
time.
While waiting for warm
water to come out, catch
the initial stream of water
from the shower in a pail
or jug.
You can use it later to
water the plants, fill the
kettle, or mop the floor.
This easily saves you up to
four liters each time. Turning
off the tap while soaping or
shampooing daily easily saves
you up to nine liters or more.
And that leaky faucet that
you keep telling yourself
you would fix one day, fix it
now, or simply call the
plumber.
If you act swiftly on it, you can
save up to 200 liters a month.
Simply amazing? You can do
these things now like most
people do.
Imagine that saving water and
saving energy means saving the
Earth, our home.
