Let's face it, we are all responsible in small part for climate change.
And what's more, the problems are bad, we have to admit.
Maybe you deny this, well, what about all the bottles you threw out, or the glass that you didn't drop at the recycling depot, or even just the light bulb you forgot to turn off? The fact is, unless you've been living like a hermit, holed up in the woods and surviving on cold scraps of meat and vegetables, then you are part of the problem.
It is not too late, though, in fact, now is the best time for you to make an effort.
Even by turning all you electrical possessions off when you are not using them, you are reducing power consumption.
Electronics, even when on standby, use quite a bit of electricity.
And the best thing is that, not only does turning them off help the planet, but it is also cheaper for you.
Another thing to do is stop using those plastic straws.
Did you ever wonder what happened to them once you had finished with them? They certainly are being put in anyone else's drink.
They go straight into the trash.
Sometimes the oldies are the best, and this is true here too, you should adhere to the three Rs- reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Reuse old newspapers for lining or cleaning, reduce the amount of plastic bags you use, and recycle glass.
These are just some of the ways you can bring the three R's to life.
In addition, make sure around the office you recycle any paper you have lying around.
You could be in charge of this at your work.
Don't stress, there are plenty of methods we can use to save the planet and most are not that difficult.
All you have to do is be aware of the problem and make the most of the solutions.
