Answer 1

Some examples of actions that are good for the global environment: Reduce the quantity of non-food items purchased; reuse items until they are no longer usable; buy used items rather than getting everything new.Recycle paper, plastic, glass, and metal. Bring reusable cloth bags when shopping. Rarely use paper cups, plates, or towels. Plant trees and other native plants, especially those that help feed the native wildlife. Reduce water use by not leaving water running when brushing teeth, by adjusting the water level of washing machines to match the size of the load, and by using water-saving fixtures. Reduce fossil fuel use by choosing a gas-efficient car and by using household heating and air conditioning only as needed. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs, and tum off lights that are not in use. Support organic farmers by purchasing organically grown food. Some examples of actions that are harmful for the global environment: Use nonrecyclable products and products that are not from recycled sources. Drive alone rather than carpooling or taking public transportation. Use a gas or electric-powered lawn mower. Make excessive purchases of non-essential items (gadgets, many sets of clothes, extra cars, vacation homes, etc.). Drive a low mileage vehicle, such as a sport utility vehicle or truck, out of choice, not necessity.
