Solution

  1. Light Up the House with LEDs: Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) use 75 per cent less energy and last 25 times longer than incandescent lighting. And not only do they have the potential to save the environment, but they’ll also save you a huge chunk of money on your energy bill.
  2. Reduce Your Waste through Recycling: Recycling items instead of letting them sit in a landfill will help the environment in multiple ways. Not only does recycling make it possible to make fewer plastic objects but it also helps reduce the amount of space that must be devoted to holding decaying garbage. Recycling is one of the best ways to bring this carbon footprint down to a more manageable level.
  3. Turn Off the Lights: Any reduction we make in our electricity use—for example, if everyone switched off lights that they weren’t using, or turned off electric heating earlier in the year—could have a bigger impact on the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by power stations
