Questions about how to protect the Earth’s ecology require complex answers. And first of all, they have the basis that we have to form the correct functioning of the protected areas that will preserve for posterity the unique natural ecosystems. Nor should we forget the development of powerful ways to counteract the further destruction of the environment that is the result of evolving scientific progress.

However, regular people often forget that they can make a significant contribution to the good of protecting the environment on their own. People tend to defend their position by making their actions seem insignificant in the face of global problems. However, Earth’s population has already reached almost 8 billion! That is why even the smallest efforts of each of us can have a tremendous impact on our planet.

How each earthling can protect the environment

• Saving resources. Many do not see how many resources are wasted. It’s not hard to save water and electricity. All we have to do is show the usual care to find dozens of ways to save money. As a result, not only will it conserve natural resources, but it will allow us all to pay much less for our utilities.
• Separate disposal of waste. The problem of household waste is very big and not everyone can cope with it. However, there are three options, some of which are bad, such as landfills, incineration, and reprocessing. Of these, only the latter is not destructive to the environment and human health. Therefore, we need to be generous and start sorting out the trash before we throw it away. After that, the junk will turn into new notebooks or office paper, and from old plastic bottles, people will be able to build a children’s amusement park. To understand the nightmare of what’s happening, you should know that one battery that’s thrown into a trash can poison one square meter of soil. To understand the problem, we’ll give you an example here that in big cities like New York or Moscow, residents emit almost 20 million batteries every year!
• Nor should we ignore eco-vehicle if we want to protect the environment. The use of this type of car will be of great benefit not only to nature but also to the health of all people because walking and cycling is very useful cardiac training.
• Shortening of the use of disposable items. Besides the fact that we have to process all the waste properly, we have to reduce the amount of these too. This is the reason why we should all choose subjects with a preference for those with a longer shelf life.
• Nutrition. If we start eating more of the seasonal fruits and vegetables that farmers have grown in the region, we can reduce the size of other foods that are imported from far away, very significantly. As a result, the amount of transport fuel used for this will become much less.

It’s also worth mentioning that giving up plastics, starting to develop eco-habits at work, as well as handing in recycled materials, is not difficult at all.
