Ways to Save Mother Earth1. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Make it a habit to reduce the things we need or we consume. Purchase only

things that we only need and eat only what you can. Let us do our share not to be part of the problem or

should I say part of the garbage problem. Reuse all the things that can still be repaired/fixed or those things

that are still okay.

Recycle things to conserve our resources, collect old newspapers, books, magazines, used papers, bottles

(plastic and glass), and any other things that you could sell in junkyards. There is money in garbage and at

the same time were doing our part in recycling process.

2. Be kind to trees. As much as possible use forests products and timber very well with optimum efficiency.

You may use the back of coupons, use pencils until it become as small as possible, and dont play with

matches. Try to get involved in tree planting in your local conservation program. This could be fun as trees

can give us added oxygen, shades for people and a refuge to different insects and birds.

3. Broken scientific apparatus like thermometer, barometers, manometers, sphygmanometers, and float

valves and other things that have mercury on it should be disposed properly. Avoid throwing this in rivers

for mercury is toxic and poisonous.

4. Saving an endangered animal is great deed indeed.

5. Tree planting is one of the most potent way of protecting our planet.

6. Dont allow your children to free those colorful balloons in mid air. Teach your children not to release

these balloons. For balloons that escaped the grasps of your children that will get into oceans and seas will

be mistaken as yummy jellyfish by sea turtles. Sea turtles takes a lot of years to mature and unfortunately

some of them got killed by eating balloon or plastic bags. Sea turtles are part of the delicate cycle and if their

population is affected other species of marine creatures are also under threat.

Famine

A famine is a widespread scarcity of food that may apply to any faunal species. This phenomenon is usually

accompanied by regional malnutrition, starvation, epidemic, and increased mortality.

Emergency measures in relieving famine primarily include providing deficient micronutrients, such as

vitamins and minerals, through fortified sachet powders or directly through supplements.[1][2] Aid groups

have begun to use a famine relief model based on giving cash or cash vouchers to the hungry to pay local

farmers, rather than buying food from donor countries, often required by law, as the latter wastes money on

transport costs.[3]

Long-term measures include investment in modern agriculture techniques, such as fertilizers and irrigation,which largely eradicated hunger in the developed world.[4] World Bank strictures restrict government

subsidies for farmers, and increasing use of fertilizers is opposed by some environmental groups because of

its unintended consequences: adverse effects on water supplies and habitat.
