The big question is how can we consciously conserve our environment for sustainability purposes? Below are some few tips:-
- Save on fuel e.g. avoid driving high speeds,carpool, minimize trips, bike and walk where necessary.
- Conserve electricity e.g. switch of electricity when not in use.
- Recycle items e.g. newspapers you no longer use can be shredded and used to carry fragile items.
- Participate in community tree planting activities.
- Solar energy can be used in the household for solar water heater and lighting.
- Leave leaves to decompose. When mixed into the soil, they add nutrients and keeps the soil light while also helping it retain moisture.
- Take care of plants by ensuring the plants have enough water, weed and mulch as required.
