solutions for less pollution
1)
Use energy efficient devices: LED lights consume less electricity as against their counterparts. They live longer, consume less electricity, lower electricity bills and also help you to reduce pollution by consuming less energy.
2)
Understand the concept of reduce, reuse and recycle: Do not throw away items that are of no use to you. In fact reuse them for some other purpose. For example you can use old jars to store cereals or pulses, or recycle your boxes of the cereals: they can be transformed into compartments for the drawers or into a magazine rack or into a document holder.
In short, it`s necessary to be more creative about recycle the things and you will be more proud of yourselves, if you will invent new usefulness for the old objects.
3)
Conserve energy: for example you can turn off fans and lights when you are going out, or simply when you aren`t in that room. Large amount of fossil fuels are burnt to produce electricity. You can save the environm ent from degradation by reducing the amount of fossil fuels to be burned. With these little actions you can improve the world.
