How to protect the environment? We can take the following steps to protect our environment.
Plant trees. Forests play a very important role. Afforestation and reforestation should be our main agenda. Plant as many trees as possible they act as water catchment areas, they purify the air and are also a habitat for many animals.
Use green technology. Wind and solar power are the best examples. That pose no challenge to the environment and they are naturally occurring.
Use less chemicals. Practice good farming habits, use less chemicals in the gardens and in household chores. Chemicals pose a challenge to water bodies as well as the soil.
Create awareness. Educate people on the importance of protecting the environment. This can be done through tree planting programs. Also inform people on the importance of reduced driving. Make them aware of the harm that harmful gases can cause and how to eliminate them.
In conclusion, the environment is our responsibility. Take care of it and it will take care of us as well. It is a win-win situation.
