How we can help the Earth Small tips that can change a lot Ema Semanová 9.A

First steps First of all, you have to know, which problems Earth has. So go and buy some book, or just listen to your teacher, when she is talking about nature problems. If you have enough water it doesn‘t mean, that the lack of water doesn‘t concern you. If you don‘t know, what is happening and why, you won‘t know how to help the Earth. And if people are unaware and they don‘t care, there won‘t be a really good future before us.

Family and friends can help it too Talk to them. You can help the nature together. When you are hanging out with friends, don‘t throw the bubble gum or the sachet you had in your pocket on the ground. There are defenitely trash bins in your city or in your house. So put the trash there.

Recycle I know, some of us are really lazy. Your excuse is, that you don‘t have time for it. But I don‘t think so. It is really easy to recycle paper, glass, plastic and other things. You just have to make some space for this material and when you will have enough rubbish, you will be able to throw it into the recycling bins. But don‘t forget! Paper goes to the blue one, glass belongs to the green bin, plastic has to be in the yellow bin and metal belongs to the red bin.

Save the water Take a shower instead of taking a bath – you will save a lot of water. Don‘t waste the water while brushing your teeth, washing your hands or washing the dishes. Stop the water flow while doing these things, or reduce the water flow while doing it – you will save money and again → WATER! Don‘t let the water drip from the tap. If you have broken tap, fix it. You will save 60 liters of water per week.

Transport ecologically Ride a bike or go by foot instead of driving a car when you aren‘t going far away. Think about alternative energy sources and when you will be an adult, try to use some But why? → Exhaust gases cause greenhouse effect that causes global warming.

Care about the plants Plant trees and flowers – they are good for the air, because they photosynthesize and they make the planet a lot prettier.

Other things you can do Sun and wind can make energy, too. You can save electricity and money, too. Turn off the lights when you live the room. Turn off the TV, computer or wi-fi, when you don‘t use it. Turn the heating down in winter. Dress warmer if you‘re cold. Don‘t throw the rubbish on the ground. Compoost green waste. Don‘t waste with paper. Reuse plastic bottles or bags. Buy products made from recycled materials. Buy food from a local store.

Thank you for attention.
