Everybody can do something to help protect the planet.
At home you can recycle things made of paper,plastic,metal or glass,such as cans and bottles.You can use kitchen waste, such as fruit or vegetable peelings, to make fertilizer for the garden.This means that less rubbish is taken away and buried underground.It also means that fewer natural resources are used to make new things.When cans are recycled, people can use the metal to make cars and computers. New books can be printed on recycled paper.
You can save electricity by switching off lights other things when you are not using them. If everybody dose this, there will be no need to build any more power stations. There are also many ways for you to save water. For example, do not leave the running while you clean your teeth. When you wash fruit or vegetables, do not throw the water away. Keep it for the plants in your garden. in case it dose not rain.
Most people use their cars more often than they need to. This wastes fuel and pollutes the environment. It is also bad for the people themselves. Exercise is good for you. For you. If you do not have far to go, walk or cycle instead of going by car. This will make you fit and healthy.
