Our environment is in trouble. People and industries are polluting the air, rivers, lakes and seas. There are many things you can do to help the environment. Here are a few.

Secondly, the biggest use of home energy is for heating and cooling homes. It not only consumes much energy but also costs a lot of money. So turn the heat down, especially at night. Replace ordinary light bulbs with energy-saving light bulbs, which use less energy.
Finally, showers use a lot of water. Buying a special “low-flow” shower head or taking shorter showers can cut this use in half.
