HOW TO PROTECT

NATURE
BY
ARYAM MOHAMED SHEHATA
REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT. THIS MEANS USING
LESS ENERGY AND PRODUCING LESS WASTE.
CONSERVE WATER. TAKE SHORTER SHOWERS, FIX
LEAKY FAUCETS, AND WATER YOUR LAWN LESS OFTEN.
RECYCLE AND COMPOST. THIS HELPS TO REDUCE THE
AMOUNT OF WASTE THAT GOES TO LANDFILLS.
CHOOSE SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS. WHEN SHOPPING,
LOOK FOR PRODUCTS THAT ARE MADE WITH
RECYCLED MATERIALS OR THAT ARE PRODUCED IN
AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY WAY.
SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE BUSINESSES. VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLARS
AND SUPPORT BUSINESSES THAT ARE COMMITTED TO
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT.
REDUCE YOUR USE OF PLASTIC. AVOID SINGLE-USE PLASTICS
LIKE STRAWS AND BAGS, AND CHOOSE REUSABLE PRODUCTS
WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
PLANT TREES. TREES HELP TO CLEAN THE AIR, REDUCE
POLLUTION, AND PROVIDE HABITAT FOR WILDLIFE.
PROTECT WILDLIFE. AVOID DISTURBING WILDLIFE HABITATS
AND REPORT ANY POACHING OR ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES TO THE
AUTHORITIES.
EDUCATE OTHERS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF PROTECTING
NATURE. SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND PASSION FOR THE
ENVIRONMENT WITH OTHERS.
GET INVOLVED IN YOUR COMMUNITY. THERE
ARE MANY WAYS TO GET INVOLVED IN
PROTECTING NATURE, SUCH AS VOLUNTEERING
FOR A LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATION
OR ATTENDING A COMMUNITY MEETING.
