The environment


The environment is an important part of our lives and  impacts the way we live and work. One tree can provide air for a day for up to four people. There are many ways you can appreciate nature, such as going for hikes and other activities, but not many people actually help out the environment. Nature and trees do so much for us, it's time to do something for them!

For instance, you can use both sides of the paper instead of just one side. More than 21 million tons of paper are thrown out each year. 

Another good idea is too take shorter shower. Taking just a two minute shorter shower can save up to 10 gallons of water.

Using a reusable bag instead of a plastic one is also a great way to help our planet.

Get a clothes line. It'll save power, and is good for your clothes as well.

While brushing your tweet, turn the water off! It can conserve up to 5gallons a day.

Plant a tree! It provides a habitat to animals, releases oxygen, and can increase the worth of your house by 27%

Turn off  the lights after you leave the room! You've probably heard this one before, but it is important!

Before you throw something out, think about it. Could you recycle it? Maybe you could give the item to a charitable site. 

Turn your computers off for the night. It saves 40 watts a day and $14 a year.

Now that you know all that you can do, share this information with others. The most Important thing you can do is to be respectful of nature and it's inhabitants.
