Simple habits that can Save our Environment for a Longer Life

Tips on How to Protect the Environment

Go organic: This means to use food and other substance made by organic methods. Going organic is one of the best ways to save the earth. It has many ways like

1. Improves health: Organic food consumption is said to be healthier than other foodstuffs from the market. They tend to reduce the chances of diseases and thereby the use of drugs. Drugs are made by the use of many chemicals and high amount of electric energy. So one can save the environment in terms of chemical spillage on land and polluting the environment in terms of energy usage.
2. Save the birds & other animals: When crops are grown using artificial fertilizers, the chances of getting infected with pests and diseases is high. So farmers use highly toxic pesticides to control them. In doing so, the pesticides from the plant are consumed by insects, larvae which become prey to birds. These birds on consuming them get killed by the poison.
3. Minimize water and land pollution: Since there is the minimization of pesticide and other harmful chemical use in organic farming, there is no chance of groundwater contamination and also river water contamination. Because, when there are rains, the toxin from the farm is carried away by water into rivers or into the groundwater. When pesticides are avoided, such a problem is prevented.

Grow trees: Trees are life saviors for many animals on the earth including humans. These trees should be spared and grown more. It should be the duty of everyone to grow more trees. Growing trees has many advantages which save a life like

1. Decrease air pollution: Trees take up the poisonous gases from the air. In doing so, they minimize pollution. They take up carbon dioxide at a faster rate than other gases. But still, on the longer run, they minimize the pollution of all the air content and bring a safe balance. So it is important to grow as many trees as possible to minimize air pollution.
2. Absorb suns heat: Many countries suffer due to excess heat of summer. But we can clearly notice that, among such countries, a place with a large number of trees are cooler than remaining parts. I personally noticed that in a lush green education campus the temperature was low b two degrees than outside it. This is because of only sufficient trees.
3. Bring rainfall: Rainfall is a sequence of the water cycle. Water from land and oceans is collected by evaporation into the sky. This forms clouds and reaches the ground as rainfall at places where the clouds get cooled. So we can notice that rainfall occurs in a place where there are sufficient trees but not over desert areas. Trees bring in rainfall which can help the land animals get water to drink. So, it is quite essential to save trees from being cut down and grow them instead.

Minimize travel. Travel is for fun, recreation, learning and even for work. This does not mean that we should avoid travel. But we can definitely avoid unnecessary travel. For examples travelling to our workplace daily for miles together. This adds to air pollution, sound pollution, the death of small animals (road accidents) and also physical stress.

The other way around is to stay near the place of work or schooling. This avoids even daily cost of travel and adds to save the environment.

If we go by facts, almost 90% of people who go for work, travel. Some use automobiles, while other bicycles and some even walk. Though walking, the cycle is safer, as it is not feasible for long-distance travel due to time constraints. So it is good to stay near the workplace.

Save rainwater: Water is essential for drinking and other needs to all the living beings. This drinking water and freshwater is provided by some perennial rivers, groundwater and also by rainfall. But rivers and groundwater also depend on rains to get refilled.
