The environmental problems we are facing may seem insurmountable at first, but we can all do something to protect our environment:
* Recycle trash and use biodegradable materials instead of plastics to reduce waste and pollution.
* Buy regional and seasonal foods and other products to minimize transportation and emissions.
* Turn off the water while you're brushing your teeth or take a shower instead of a bath to save water.
* Turn off your computer, TV, lights etc. when you don't need them to save energy.
* Walk, bike, carpool or use public transportation instead of driving your car by yourself to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
* Plant a tree or start gardening.
* Get involved with community initiatives or local organizations, for example, to clean up nature parks or reforest land.
