Do you know why I have asked these questions at the
beginning of this post? Let me tell you, if you are active on any of these
media, you come across various posts concerning about of the environment.
Various programs conducted by Indian government & the UN like the world environment day, world earth day, world water day, and so forth to make us
aware of the importance of this planet.
Will it force you to think about the environment? Will it
force you to find out the ways to protect the environment? If answers to these
questions are no, dear friends, you are landed at the wrong place so better to skip
this post.
If yes, you are in the right place. Here, we will suggest
you 10 simplest ways to save the environment.

What is the meaning of environment?
The simplest meaning of the environment is the surroundings
around you. It may be anything which we may either touch or feel or both. It
can be living or non-living things. It includes physical, chemical and other
natural forces. The environment is something you are very familiar with, that
makes up our surroundings and affects our ability to live on the mother earth.
It includes everything i.e. the air we breathe, the water that covers most of
the earth's surface, the plants, and animals around us, and much more.
Frequently asked questions on 10 ways to protect the environment
Whenever we start thinking about the protection of the
environment, we start thinking, what can we do for the conservation of the
environment. Several questions coming in
our mind and most common questions are as follows:
1. What can we do to save the environment?
2. How can we protect our environment in everyday life?
4. Can I do anything alone for the environment?
5. What are the do's and don'ts to save the environment?
What are the 10 ways to protect the environment?
The environment is the necessity of all human beings or I would say, it is equally important for any creatures exist on this earth.
Nature or the creator of nature (would say GOD) has given us many things like
animals, birds, plants, trees, air, water, soil, and so forth. It is quite
impossible for me to write here all the gifts have been given by God to us.
I would like to add one more thing which is beyond the scope
of this topic but I feel that it is equally important so I would like to
mention it here.
We have talked about the creator and let me introduce the
destroyer of the environment.
Do you know who is the destroyer of the environment?
This is not a difficult question to answer and the answer
is: we are the destroyer of this nature. Do you want to know the answer to “How
are we destroying our nature?” then let me share some examples with you guys.
1. Are you smoking? If yes, then you are giving your
contribution to Air Pollution.
2. Are you throwing garbage in the river, sea, canal, etc? If
yes, you are giving your contribution to water pollution?
3. Are you buzzing horns unnecessary while driving? If yes,
would like to congratulate you that you have also become a contributor to Noise
Pollution.
4. Are you using a huge quantity of fertilizers for increasing production? If yes, then you have joined the group of soil pollution as well.
Is it enough to open your eyes?
I have many more examples to tell you but if you want to remain
unaware and perform your duties irresponsibly, then these questions would not
help you at all. I would urge only to
those peoples who understand the importance of the environment and want to make
it healthier.
Let us share 10 simplest personal ways to save our environment.
Stop smoking & encourage others to stop it
Smoking is injurious to our health and not only the health
but also affects the environment up to a certain extent. Take a pledge to stop smoking and requests
others as well. By opting this habit, you can reduce health issues and also
protect the environment.
Buy 5-star rating home appliances & use it wisely
A huge quantity of fossil fuels is burned to produce
electricity. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy and also degrade
the quality of the environment. Emission from such plants also causes air pollution so it is highly recommendable to use such things in prudence manner.
This battle can be won very easily and this method is very easy among all the
10 ways to save the environment.
Minimize the use of plastics especially single-use plastics bags
Plastic bags are present in all places in the environment.
Whenever we go out to do the shopping for fruits, vegetables, groceries, etc.
we use plastic bags as it is very convenient to use. We are paying a very huge
cost of this convenience. Plastic bags are made of polyethylene which consists
chain of ethylene polymers and to derive these ethylene polymers, natural gas
& petroleum are used. So, it is advisable to stop the use of plastics bags
and purchase some cloth bags to do daily shopping.
Stop using your vehicle & use public transport
Do you know, pollution from the vehicle is one of the primary
reason of air pollution especially from diesel vehicles? People prefer to
purchase diesel vehicle due to low fuel cost but the environment is paying the
huge cost due to this low-cost fuel. It is recommended to use public
transport as much as possible.
Plants the trees & conduct the drives of Trees plantation
This is the most effective step among all the 10 steps of
protecting the environment. Trees are very beneficial and they have capabilities
to maintain the ecological balance. Trees are the natural absorber of polluted
particles mixed in the air so plant trees and make others aware of the
importance of the planet.
Avoid throwing the household garbage in any form of water bodies
It a very common practice in families to throw the household
garbage in the river, canal and any form of water. By following this practice, you are
contributing to water pollution & indirectly affecting the habitat of
marine species. Try to find out the
proper place to dump the garbage and take a small step to make a healthy
environment.
Use the material made of recycling products
Recycling products is the best way to reuse objects in
different ways. It is the process of turning waste material into new and usable
ones. This could be seen as an alternative for waste disposal and the processes
of waste disposal like incineration and landfilling cause damage to the
environment in the form of air and land pollution. By recycling, we can use the
same object all over again in different forms and as a result, the production
of materials like plastics could be lowered down.
Save the water
Saving water is one of the best ways among all the 10
methods of saving the environment. Water is a renewable source yet the careless use
of water would bring us in the situation of the water crisis. There are several
places in our country suffering from drinking water so the need of this hour is
to start taking this issue seriously and try to save water in as many ways as
possible. One of the best and easiest ways to do so is by collecting rainwater
in reservoirs, tanks and at a very primary level in our rooftops so that it
could be used for other purposes in our houses like for watering plants,
washing dishes, etc.
Stop throwing garbage here & there
It is recommended to everyone stop throwing garbage here
& there. Try to find the proper
place and discard it in the best possible manner.
Raise the social awareness in your societies, groups & communities
Become a volunteer of the environment and do everything
possible to conserve the environment. This method could become effective also
the best among all the 10 methods to protect the environment.
Final Words
These are the 10 ways to conserve the environment. These
steps very easy yet very effective and everyone can include these habits in
their daily life. I would like to urge
all to preserve it for a better future and sustainable development.
What would we give to our upcoming generations if we destroy
our nature by our own hands?
So, think twice before doing anything.
