Question

How can an individual help in keeping the environment clean and healthy.

Answer 1

• Environment is a place where human and animal life persists and it is our responsibility to keep it clean and secure.
  

Following are few roles an individual can play to achieve this:

• Don’t litter: Littering in public places is to be avoided. It is a very good habit to use dustbins, because a small litter can turn into garbage over time leading to bad health effects and pollution.
  
• Plant trees: Planting tree is a very good and simple deed to protect our environment. It takes carbon dioxide present and releases oxygen. Due to rapid industrialisation there is cutting down of trees. This can be compensated by planting trees in the surrounding.
  
• Eco-friendly: It is necessary to use eco-friendly commodities for example using bicycle instead pf car to travel short distances.
  
• We can also achieve environmental safety by following 3 R's of proper waste management namely reduce, reuse and recycle.
