Answer 4

answered in detailed  to a query on the forum to a silly boy who was challanging about the gut to prove him wrong about his faith that we can live without tree.

we can plant trees in the monsoon season & care for them throught the year.

Answer 5

I didn't fly my private 747 across the country to speak about conservation.  But then again, I also didn't invent the internet.

Answer 6

We have been recylcing in our home for many years, although our one home helps, it's just not enough. So this year, our family branched out & began helping other families, businesses & organizations to recycle.  We started recycling programs at businesses in our local area & at parks near our home.

We also walk & ride bikes to most locations we need to go to.  We recently began bringing our own canvas bags to the grocery store instead of using the paper or plastic bags.

We have switched over all of our lightbulbs & major appliences to the energy friendly ones & have limited tv time to barely watching any at all.

This next baseball season we are hoping to convert the baseball park over to recycle because of the large number of drinks sold in plastic containers.

Today I recycled a collection of aluminum cans that I've been gathering over the last 2 weeks, and today I also opened my windows and used my ceiling fans instead of running my air conditioning!

Answer 23

i haven't done anything specific today to improve my surroundings(just cleaned my room if that counts) considering the fact that i had a very busy day . but if we talk in general then i have read many books on environment and very particular about switching the lights off when not in use. not throwing plastic litter in vicinities or in open drains. i use as ac for a very short duration of time(only when its too too hot) considering the threat these CFCs and HCFCs have on our environment. i keep my surroundings clean and green. i make use of my bicycle fore short distances. avoid using car. i think that's all i can do to improve the environment. this is something we all must have read in our course books but the key is to follow these simple and easy rules.
