Saving the Environment: One Home at a Time
Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes. It comes
from household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the waste people produce
and throw away. What can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly, a person can help
save the environment by doing simple things.
First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again. Recycling
can also reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper products. It takes very little
effort. It is not hard to place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper in a bin.
Anyone can do it.

taking short showers instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or
washing machine only when fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while brushing your
teeth.

to use this waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and food scraps can be made
