How To Help Protect The Environment
We treat the planet we
live on with great disrespect. We believe that all of the materials within are
expendable and the world is going to last forever - it isn't! It is
understandably very difficult to quantify the impact of our actions in hundreds
of years but we really ought to start trying. Realistically, the fact of the
matter is not many people care about what is going happen to the world in the
future, "as long as it doesn't end in the next 100 years I don't
care".
This attitude is
extremely selfish and if we are to help protect the environment, needs to
change.
The earth is an
incredible thing and the fact that the way we live our lives is damaging it is
upsetting not to mention we know how and why we are damaging it also! Science
in the modern age is pretty darn impressive and we can calculate when the earth
will end and how and what level of damage we are creating - impressive stuff.
This article will
highlight three ways in which we can help preserve and protect the environment
and thus the world.
Every
Little Helps
You have got to remember
it's a cumulative effort; if everyone does their bit then the results will show
very clearly. It's simple to turn the electricity off when you sleep and don't run the
tap when you brush your teeth isn't it? I mean there is nothing to be gained
from leaving them on and everything to be gained by turning them off.
You save money and help
the environment at the same time!
Look
for Renewable Energy
Renewable energy has
been a buzz word in recent times, government and big companies have looked to
the skies (literally) in order to save money and create an environmentally
friendly image for their company or country. Companies such as Vector Foiltec have created a revolutionary system
that utilizes the suns energy in an extremely effective way to create a micro
climate within that is highly efficient.
This Texlon cushioning
system is the first of its kind and looks incredibly futuristic. If all of the
world's major companies look towards solar, wind and hydro electric power as a
credible means to run their business the environment could be going strong for
a few more years yet.
Change
your Mindset
This is one of the
biggest problems, we all have the attitude that everything is expendable and we
have certainly lost the concept of money and the value of it. The cost of
energy is only going to increase as the economic climate we live in falters. If
we all change the way we view the world, money and the price of energy it will
become much easier to begin to save and eradicate the cost of our energy
wastage.
Moreover, if incentives
are offered within your company or even your household to recycle then I
guarantee people will start to do it more regularly. We all need to work
together to solve the problem.
