Top 10 Ways on How to save the Earth

      Earth is where we live and it is where we breathe air. Our Earth is in dangerous hand now, wherein we have to prevent our Earth from getting worst because it’ll also affect our lives. There are ways on how to save the Earth. Even though you’re not an eco-lover volunteer, on your own you can save the Earth by doing these:

1.    Be aware when using water. Every drop counts. Water is very important in our daily lives. It is given when we drink, when we take a bath, when we wash dishes or clothes, etc. Don’t waste it. Estimate the amount of water you need and don’t use water when it is not needed.

                           

2.      Avoid anything that can cause pollution. Cars, burning of leaves, throwing plastics anywhere can cause pollution. We have to avoid these things so we can reduce green house gas emissions.

                                  

                          

          

3.      Walk or ride your bike to work, school and anywhere you can. You can reduce greenhouse gases while burning some calories and improving your health. If you can't walk or bike, use mass transit or carpool. Every car not on the road makes a difference.

4.      Recycle. Not everything is used for recycling. You can recycle things by using safe products that will not affect the community. We can also invent things that are useful and can help us in some ways by recycling materials.

          

5.      Compost. It can be a natural resource of fertilizer. We use compost to reduce solid wastes. Also, we can create organic items when composting.

6.      Change your light bulbs. Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) last 10 times longer than a standard bulb and use at least two-thirds less energy.

                  

7.      Make your home more energy efficient. If you are using air cons at home be sure to clean its air filter, so that you cannot inhale the dirty substances that are in it. In additional, if you are using refrigerator be sure to defrost it because ice that are stuck in the freezer have chemical substance.

8.      Maintain your car.  Under inflated tires decrease fuel economy by up to three percent and lead to increased pollution and higher greenhouse gas emissions. Also, under inflation can increase tire wear, so it will save you money in the long run if you're good about checking your tire pressure.

9.      Drive Smarter. Accelerating and braking too hard can actually reduce your fuel. Slow down when driving. Instead of using 70mph use 60mph. Don’t use cell phones when you are driving. Avoid distractions that can lead you to accident.

10. Turn off lights when you're not in the room and unplug appliances when you're not using them. By doing this, you can avoid fire. When you forgot to turn off your lights and to unplug appliances, it can cause overheat that will create fire and will burn the place.
   
            God created Earth for us, so we can have a place to live in. It is not in the will that we have to destroy it because it came from God. Everything that we have came from God. If we truly love God, we also have to love and take care of what he has given to us.
