    Friendly Practices To
    Save Our Resources.
    “Better environment Better Tomorrow’’
    WHY SHOULD WE PROTECT OUR
    RESOURCES ?

     They are important for the cash economy, for creating energy, for providing shelter, for food and medicine, and for spiritual
    well being. By protecting and conserving natural resources we help to ensure that they are available for use not only
    today, but in the future as well.

      Though small changes at the individual level may seem trivial, just think how much cleaner the planet would
    be if everyone adopted even a few of the following behavior modifications.
    So here are 5 ways you can start to protect the our resources today:
    Consume less
    Compost
    Turn off the lights
    Shop second hand
    Using renewable resources

    Consume less
    • Curbing consumption can have a huge impact
    on the environment. The three "R's"—reduce,
    reuse and recycle— get a lot of attention, but
    the planet could benefit from some focus on
    the most important and most
    underrepresented "R": refuse.
    • When you refuse, you say "no," which is not
    always easy. Freebies at events, cheap goods
    on clearance, the hot new children's toys or the
    latest gadgets that promise to make your life
    better—none of these are essential. And they
    almost always end up either in the trash or
    forgotten in the back of a closet. Next time
    you’re tempted to purchase or accept a non-
    essential item, think about whether it would
    truly improve your life. If not, it's ok to just say,
    "No, thanks!"

    Compost
    • Another “R” that doesn’t get much
    attention but has important
    environmental implications is “rot.” As in,
    let your food and yard waste rot naturally
    in the soil instead of sending it to the
    landfill. In other words: compost.
    • Composting your food scraps and yard
    waste offers double rewards: it keeps an
    incredible amount of trash out of the
    waste stream, and it produces free, rich
    soil to use in your garden. Some cities now
    pick up organic waste alongside regular
    trash and recycling pick up. If your area
    doesn’t offer this service, no worries— you
    can set up a low-maintenance compost
    pile in your backyard.

    Turn off the lights
    • Turn off any lights or televisions
    after you leave a room. Unplug
    appliances like portable air
    conditioners, toasters, and
    coffeemakers when not in use, as
    they can continue to use small
    amounts of electricity. Additionally,
    LED light bulbs require far less
    wattage than standard bulbs, so
    switching to this alternative lighting
    method can also help conserve
    resources.

    Shop Second Hand
    • Did you know it takes over 700 gallons
    of water to grow enough cotton to
    make just one plain t-shirt?
    • Instead of heading to the mall to buy
    new clothes, consider looking first in a
    thrift store or vintage shop, or trading
    clothes with friends. You can breathe
    new life into your wardrobe without
    wasting the precious resources needed
    to produce new clothing.
    • Shopping secondhand also applies for
    many other categories of consumer
    goods: children’s games and toys,
    shoes, appliances, furniture, cars and
    more.

    USING RENEWABLE ENERGY
    RESOURCES
    • Alternative sources of energy, or renewable
    energy resources, are much more eco-
    friendly. They don’t produce any harmful
    greenhouse gases that cause damage to the
    environment.
    • Solar energy, wind energy, and other
    renewable energy resources are much better
    than fossil fuel. In some cases, they can also
    be cheaper than the already available non-
    renewable energy resources.
    • For example, people living in mountains are
    much better suited to using solar than
    carrying gallons of fuel up to the mountains
    and using it. However, fossil fuels can be
    used as backup energy supply in limited
    quantities.
