Environmental protection is the practice of protecting
the natural environment by individuals, organizations and
governments. Its objectives are to conserve natural resources
and the existing natural environment and, where possible, to
repair damage and reverse trends.
All of us want to protect the environment but we are mostly too
lazy or too busy to make big changes that will help improve our
lifestyle as well as save the environment around us.
“The three R’s – reduce, reuse and recycle – all help to cut down
on the amount of waste we throw away. They conserve natural
resources, landfill space and energy. Plus, the three R’s save land
and money that communities must use to dispose of waste in
landfills.
The First ‘R’ – Reduce
The logic is simple to understand – if there is less waste,
then there is less to recycle or reuse.
The First ‘R’ – Reduce
Here are some of the things you can do to reduce waste:
Print on both sides of the paper to reduce paper wastage.
Avoid using disposable plates, spoons, glass,
cups and napkins.
Use cloth napkins instead of paper napkins.
Use refillable pens instead of buying too many.
The Second ‘R’ – Reuse
You may have a box of things you keep that are broken or that
you don’t have a use; or you may find bargains on old furniture
or go trash picking and get things that you can refinish – in either
case you are working towards reusing the item.

Donate below items:
Old books: Your old books can be used by poor
children or can be donated to public libraries.
Old clothes: Your unwanted clothes can be
used by street children or can be donated to
charity institutions.
Be creative: Apply DIY on old clothes, bottles,
jars, pots, vases, or anything else to convert
them into other utilities and use further.
The Third ‘R’ – Recycling
To recycle something means that it will be transformed again into a raw
material that can be shaped into a new item. However, there are very few
materials on the earth that cannot be recycled.
The Third ‘R’ – Recycling
Buy products from the market that are made
up of recycled materials i.e., the product
should be environment friendly.
Buy products that have been made from
recycled materials.
All products are recyclable such as some
plastics. There is usually a recycling
symbol on the bottom of products to know
whether or not it is recyclable.
Use recycled paper for printing or making
paper handicrafts.
Buy products that can be recycled like
paper, glass, aluminum, plastic, etc.
Aluminum can be recycled multiple times.
Use Renewable Energy

is “saving

Install Solar Panels On The Roof
Using alternative energy sources as much as possible is a good way to
protect the environment. Start from your house by getting solar panels
installed and using solar power for room and water heating. Solar panels
are used to convert sunlight into electricity without causing pollution.
Use Electrical Appliances Effectively
For example, compact fluorescent light bulbs are able to
save up to 75% of the total energy spent for lighting your
home. Although these bulbs are more costly, they can be
used much longer and of course, our electric bill will be
reduced.
Air conditioner uses a great amount of
electricity, so using fans instead of air
condition systems is a great way to
help reduce the consumption of energy.
And finally, TURN OFF
THE LIGHT if you don't
need it!
Use Electrical Appliances Effectively
We just need to turn off unused electrical appliances and
replace all of the inefficient electrical appliances, which not
only consume a great amount of electricity but also have a bad
effect on your pockets.
Use The Vehicles Effectively
Nowadays, a vehicle is becoming a basic requirement for traveling and
transportation. In fact, vehicles are one of the main reasons leading to
sound pollution as well as air pollution.
If you do not have too long distance to
go and the weather is nice, why do not
you consider riding your bike or
even walking. It not only helps you
reduce air pollution but also helps you
get more exercises and enjoy the fresh
air.
Conserve The Water
Water is considered as a
Water is cheap but very vital natural
it is very precious resource. Therefore,
in our daily lives conserving the water is
very important to protect
the environment.
Conserve The Water
For example, instead of scrubbing your home by a
heavy-duty cleaner, use a natural mixture of vinegar and
water, a paste of baking soda and salt, or simply use
the juice of lemon. These natural home methods can get the
job done well and do not pollute the water supply.
We should use fewer chemicals. In fact, chemicals we use
to clean our homes, vehicles and even our bodies get
flowed down the drain and then go into the sewer system,
but they will end up in the supply of water. These chemicals
are not good for animals, plants and human being.
Plant More Trees
Government alone is actually playing 50% part in protecting the environment
and they need public support to decrease the pollution rate and save the
environment from pollution. Imagine if every individual take their about 10%
responsibility towards the protection of environment, we will be able to reduce
the pollution to 50%.
