Be Ecofriendly!

 What is eco-friendly?

“Eco-friendly” is used to describe activities which are good for the environment. It is a shortening of “ecologically friendly,” and you may also hear terms like “environmentally friendly” or “green” used to describe similar activities. There are a range of ways in which activities can be eco-friendly, ranging from products which are constructed in an environmentally friendly way to making lifestyle changes which are designed to benefit the environment.

Look around you,


there is a precious world surronding us, why would you destroy it? It doesn't make any sense, don't you think? We gotta save the enviroment as we save ourselves, here are some tips about how to be eco-friendly:

1. Bike, use public transit, carpool to work, drive slower, keep your tires inflated
   One-third of all traffic is commuters. Use alternative transportation when possible. If you must drive, go slower with proper tire inflation. It saves both fuel and tires, and lowers emissions. It also saves lives.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Compost
Reusing packaging material saves more energy than recycling. By avoiding extra packaging, you save both energy and landfill space. Yard and kitchen waste (leaves/grass/vegetable scraps) are 30% of trash. Reduce this amount by composting. Also be sure to re-use plastic bags, or better yet... refuse plastic bags when you really don't need them.

         Conserve water

         Don't let faucets run. Never water your lawn at midday. Place a brick in old toilets. Take low flow short showers. Run the dishwasher only when it is full. Let grass grow longer. Plant native or drought-tolerant garden plants.

        Quit smoking

        Second-hand smoke is a major indoor air pollutant and health hazard. When you quit, both you and your family will lead longer and healthier lives.

        Don't use pesticides/herbicides on your lawn

        Along with nitrogen fertilizer runoff, these are major water pollutants.

With these tips... will you be Eco-Friendly? I hope so!
