Let's save this world

I have few words to say which can help in saving this world. Please feel free for suggestions to add/modify in this post


  1. Use recycled paper: Use recycled paper. Making a ton of paper from recycled stock saves up to 17 trees and uses 50 per cent less water.

  1. Avoid short car journey: Avoid short car journeys. A cold engine uses almost twice as much fuel as a warmer one. Use public transport, ride a bicycle or walk.

  1. Fix the leak: Catching a toilet leak at its earliest stage can save a lot of water. Even a silent leak can waste from 30 to 500 gallons of water per day.

  1. Go veg to save the world: Go vegetarian. To produce a kilogram of beef, it takes, on average, 10 kg of grain and 680 litres of water.

  1. Heat water in electric kettle: Use an electric kettle to heat water. It's more energy efficient and consumes half the energy your stove takes.

  1. Unplug equipment once fully charged: Unplug equipment once fully charged. Mobile phones, shavers and electric products keep drawing electricity even when the battery is full.

  1. Buy energy electrical appliances: Buy energy efficient electrical appliances. One of the easiest ways to save money on your electricity bills whilst being environmentally friendly.
