Recycle. Recycling is an excellent place to start. If we couldn't recycle, there would be so much trash on the ground that we couldn't see our own feet! Recycling is great. Think about it, when you recycle paper, it improves our oxygen level. When you recycle plastic, new things can be made from it, such as bottles or carpets. When you recycle aluminum, new cars can be made from it! Recycling benefits you and everyone else. If you want to find recycling bins in your area, go to Earth911.com Conserve energy. The less resources (like water) and energy (like electricity in your lights) we use, the less resources we need to take from nature, and the less energy we need to produce. Fun Fact: If you have a leaky faucet that leaks one drop per second, that equals 650 wasted gallons of water per year! It adds up! Also, remember to turn off your lights when to leave the room. Both of these not only help the environment, but also save your family money. You may not have to pay bills now, but when you get your own house someday, you will! It's better to start good habits now while you're young. Turn down the heating in your home. It's much more effective to heat you with a jacket then heating your entire house.
