5 Things You Should Do To Help The Environment in the New Year

4. Cut down on shower time

A long hot shower to freshen you up in the morning and relax you in the night sounds incredible but it also uses up a lot of water. Water that is fast becoming scarce around the world. Take short showers and preserve water. This way you will be doing the environment a great favor.

5. Sign a petition against any environmentally degrading act that is being committed

Digging up for fossil fuels is one of the most damaging things that is being done to the environment. The chemicals that are let out into the environment as a result of these processes contaminate the soil, the air and the water. Sometimes it is so bad that the environment becomes unsuitable for living for hundreds of years. Even if it is the government that sponsors such activities, it is our duty and moral responsibility to put an end to such activities.

Environmental damage affects us all and the future generation. This year it is important that we make conscious efforts to bring damaging activities down.
