What are some unnoticeable things that can harm the environment?

Question

Is there anything that I could be doing, without knowing, that can contribute to the cause of global warming, pollution, or anything that can harm the environment? Thanks!

Answer 1

ya pretty much what the person above me wrote. also:

taking long baths/showers

keeping your toaster or cell fone charger or vaccum etc... while not using it. Even if its off energy is still being wasted.

Answer 2

Depends on how much you know and your living conditions. The following things are easy to forget that are harmful:

1.) Holding the refrigerator door open

2.) Poor insulation

3.) Too many cracks (gaps under doors and in windows)

4.) Cranking the A/C

5.) Driving cars with bad gas mileage.

6.) Hand wash dishes (3 gallons/min) vs dishwasher (15 gallons/wash)

7.) Litter

Here's things you should do:

1.) Recycle

2.) Compost

3.) Turn down A/C when you leave the house or go to sleep.

4.) Plant trees in your yard
