The importance of caring for the nature is absolutely paramount for many reasons. Perhaps most importantly, we need to make sure that we leave this place better than when we came for the next generations whose job(s) it will be to also look after the planet. It wouldn’t be fair to hand them something we fouled up that they are responsible for cleaning up. With that in mind, here are a few ways to take care of our nature:

​

​

Turn out the lights when they are not in use – This one is too easy, but is actually one of the more commonly overlooked ways to reduce energy consumption.

​

Reusable water bottles – Fossil fuels are required to make plastic bottles, so using fewer plastic bottles will help greatly in preserving this precious resource.

​

Recycling – Recycling is one of the most popular and most impactful ways that you can help the nature.

​

Repurposing – So many things around your home can be repurposed and reused. Plastic bags, for instance, can be reused at the grocery store or used as small wastebasket bags.

​

Detergents – There are a number of things we use detergents for. Most of them are bad for the nature. Everything that goes down a drain will eventually find its way back to a source of water again. Choose natural soaps, shampoos, body washes and laundry detergents to help keep our natural water supply clean.
