WAYS
TO STAY GREEN! |
|
Canadians are
among the heaviest users of energy in the world, on a per capita
basis. By the age of six months, each Canadian has consumed as
many resources as the average person in a developing country has
in his or her lifetime. You don’t have to be in the
environmental club to do your part for the environment. The
environmental club has found out ways to do everyday tasks and
still save our planet. These simple tasks can be done at school,
when shopping, and at home. These things include:
-Turning off
equipment when not in use (including taps and electronics)
-Recycle paper, plastic, glass, and waste. When you recycle one
aluminium can it saves enough energy to operate a TV for 3
hours.
-Using refillable water bottles instead of plastic (it is safer
and cheaper).
-Using containers instead of plastic bags for lunches.
-Buying energy efficient products.
-Use recycled paper. Every ton of recycled office paper saves
380 gallons of oil.
