PLANT NATIVE TREES AND PLANTS

By planting trees and shrubs that are native to

your area, you’ll be working with the local
ecosystem rather than against it.

• Planting native plants helps with water

conservation. Once established, little or no
irrigation should be needed for most well-
placed native plants.

• You’ll be increasing the local biodiversity,

establishing native pollinator and songbird
habitats in your yard.
 RECYCLE

Recycling is a classic way to help th

Easy Ways to Protect the Earth.
Glass, newspaper, aluminum, steel
cans, plastic, food and yard debris
(compost), corrugated cardboard,
motor oil, and batteries are all items
that can be recycled at community
recycling facilities. To find out what
items can be recycled in your
community, contact your local waste
management.
WALK MORE, DRIVE LESS

Walk more, drive less: Choose to walk

short distances instead of taking out your
car every time. Walk down to the gym,
office (if it’s near), run errands (literally),
etc. Or better still- use a bicycle. Besides
saving nature, both walking and cycling
are good forms of exercises. And each
time you keep away from using you car,
you contribute to reduce air pollution.
Moreover, you consume less oil,
preserving one of the greatest and most
important natural resource.
PARTICIPATE IN BEACH OR
RIVER CLEANUP

When people litter, their trash often makes its

way to our local waterways, destroying the
natural homesites of birds, fish and other
wetland creatures. Help out by joining with
others in beach or riverside cleanup events.If
there’s not a cleanup in your area, consider
creating one. All you’ll need are trash bags,
rubber gloves, and a team of like-minded
volunteers.
 SPEND TIME
VOLUNTEERING

Most communities have nonprofit

environmental organizations that rely
on volunteer help in order to do their
work. Look in your local area for
organizations that are doing the kind
of work to preserve nature that you
expect
