ENVIRONMENT CONSERVATION AND ACTION

Environment is basically the surroundings of life. These surroundings include living and non-living things which make up of natural and built environments. Natural environment is composed of things which exist naturally whereas built environment is one that man has made. However, environmental conversation is a practice of protecting the environment, an individual, organizational or governmental level.

SOME WAYS TO CONSERVE ENVIRONMENT

1. RECYCLING

Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects. It is an alternative to "conventional" waste disposal that can save material and help lower greenhouse gases emissions (compared to plastic production for example). Recycling can prevent the waste of potentially useful materials and reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, thereby reducing: energy usage, air pollution (from incineration), and water pollution (from land filling).

2.  COMPOSTING

Composting is nature's process of recycling decomposed organic materials into a rich soil known as compost. Anything that was once living will decompose. Basically, backyard composting is an acceleration of the same process nature uses. By composting your organic waste you are returning nutrients back into the soil in order for the cycle of life to continue. Finished compost looks like soil–dark brown, crumbly and smells like a forest floor.

3. REDUCE WATER CONSUMPTION

Reducing water consumption in the home is a simple and easy way to decrease water and energy bills and lessen your household’s impact on the environment.

Conserving water resources, even in areas without shortages, helps reduce the need to build dams or extract water from rivers, decreases wastewater produced and treated at sewage plants, lowers energy requirements for treating and transporting water and wastewater, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

4. PLANT TREES

Tree planting is the process of transplanting tree seedlings, generally for forestry, land reclamation, or landscaping purpose. It differs from the transplantation of larger trees in agriculture, and from the lower cost but slower and less reliable distribution of tree seeds.

5. TALK ABOUT IT

Talking about on how to conserve and preserve environment is a good way to protect mother earth. We are responsible for taking care of it because if we protect our environment, we can save our lives.

There are various ways through which we can conserve the environment. In our homes we can make effort into trying to conserve the environment through using environmental friendly sources of energy and building materials. These alternative sources of energy may include solar energy as source of power in our homes and energy conservative stoves for cooking. This will help in the environment conservation since people will cut down fewer trees for energy and construction purposes.

In conclusion, environment is a source of live and it needs our effort to conserve it. Every individual should be sensitized on the importance of conserving the environment. For the success of conservation to be achieved we should use conserve energy by using alternative sources that are friendly to the environment. Government should input strict measures of environmental conservation such as prohibiting illegal cutting of trees, waste disposal methods by the public.
