What I Can Do to Make a Difference

• Using low energy fluorescent light bulbs at home.

• If every home in the UK changed just 3 light bulbs to these, enough energy would be saved to light UK’s street lamps.

Changing The Routine in the Bathroom

• Taking shorter showers.• Soaping while the water is off, to save water.• Not leaving the water running while brushing

your teeth.• Not using all the lights in the bathroom at

once.

Recycling

• Recycling will help reduce pollution, energy usage. Also water pollution.

• Prevents the waste of potentially new materials.

• New Recycle bins are now used in New York to help people recycle more, you can throw all your recyclables in to one container instead of separating.
