Helping our environment doesn’t have to be difficult. It’s not just about recycling food and clothes or planting new trees in your local community. In fact, there are simple and effective ways to help the environment without even leaving the comfort of your home! Perhaps if the public knew just how easy it was, then more people would take an interest in saving our planet one small act at a time

Most people know that newly planted trees and shrubs provide clean oxygen and can add to the habitats of many insects and animals. Planting new shrubs, trees, herbs or flowers in your garden can be very beneficial for the environment, but what about nourishing them? Instead of using tap water, you can collect rainwater and use that instead! Collecting rainwater can be as simple as keeping a bucket outside and storing the water to use on the days when rainfall is limited. Doing this will keep your plants healthy without constantly running your taps.

Another simple trick to help save our environment is to eat healthy organic food instead of fast food. Fast food isn’t only harmful to our bodies! The packaging that fast food comes in is very harmful to the environment. Think about eating an apple versus eating a meal from a fast food chain. When you’ve finished eating the apple, the core can be put in the compost heap. Even the seeds can be used to plant an apple tree! The fast food meal, however, is likely to have been wrapped up in plastic. That packaging will only add to rubbish heaps!

The list of simple but effective ways to make a positive input on the environment is a long one. Anything, from remembering to switch off lights and appliances to creating homemade compost, are ways to help make a difference. While activities such as planting trees in local parks and community clean-up days are useful, people with busy schedules can also help. What we must remember is that we can help from home. These small but influential acts can help keep our planet healthy and safe for future generations.
