1.- Reduce-reuse-recycle: implementing the three R's reduces the amount of waste generated and improves its management processes.
2.- Take care of the water and turn off the light: to have fresh water and electricity, it is necessary to spend energy. With simple measures like turning off unoccupied lights, repairing leaks, making the most of natural light, or properly insulating your home, you can significantly decrease energy consumption.
3.- Planting trees: trees provide oxygen, prevent soil erosion, control floods and also serve as a refuge for wild animals. If you plant some, you will make the planet a better place.
4.- Protect local water sources: if there is a river, lake or even the sea near your home, there is no garbage in them. Also, don't dump waste like paint, oil, or chemicals directly into the ground, because you can contaminate the groundwater.
5.- Drive less, walk more: if you need to use a vehicle to get to your workplace, use public transportation, or share the car with neighbors or colleagues. And if your office is not so far from your home, you can get up a little earlier and go walking or cycling.
6.- Buy products that are energy efficient: there are a series of electrical appliances and devices that consume little energy and, at the same time, provide quality service.
7.- Acquire locally made products: this allows you to reduce your carbon footprint, since you can use fewer plastic bags, contribute to lower fuel costs for moving products and use less packaging material, among other things.
8.- Do not throw garbage: although it seems obvious, many people who go down the street or on top of their cars throw papers, bags, chewing gum, cigarette butts or anything they consider garbage, without taking into account that their actions have a great impact on the environment. If you do it and want to become green, you must change this habit.
9.- Buy recycled products: to recognize them, you should look for whether they have the recycling symbol (the three green arrows that form a triangle) on their packaging. We could also use one use less plastic bags and carry out your own reusable bag purchases.
10.- Join an environmental group that fights against contamination: this way you can offer your help to protect Mother Earth.
