Use Greywater.
Grey water is water that comes from your sinks, washing machine or even showers, laundry tubs - basically everywhere except toilets which must be be treated.
If we use greywater to water our gardens, we save water from coming out of our taps which means the reservoirs and rivers have more water.

This may be using public transport, as it carries more people while producing less harmful gasses. Another way to stop pollution in travel is walking or cycling to your destination, this can keep you healthy, and it produces no harmful gasses for the environment.  If the destination is close to you, you should walk as you will gain muscle on the calves and be fitter.

Common materials that are recycled are glass, paper and aluminium.



Another way to reduce waste at home is eating all the food you buy. "Don't bite off more than you can chew" is something you may need to take advice from when trying to reduce waste at home.

Example recycling can save the environment by not putting everything to waste. So sustainability is basically saving the environment. You can use natural gases and you can use solar powered things. Throwing things in the recycle bin will help too. http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/

When you litter on the earth, the earth will be  polluted. People all around the wold should recycle everyday and to clean up the earth.

This is saving the environment. What is not saving the environment is, throwing rubbish everywhere, ripping plants out of the garden for no reason. Pollution will kill the nature.

these are the types of bins you should be using to throw out paper,  glass, plastic and metal.

Recycling is when you can make usable materials into something new instead of throwing it in the trash. Some things are not recyclable, such as chip packets and certain plastics. Recycling is sustainable to the environment because it creates less greenhouse gasses and chemicals from the rubbish in landfills. If a product has this symbol, then it is recyclable
Here is some examples of things that are recyclable: Newspapers, cardboard, glass bottles or jars, plastic containers, aluminium and steel cans

If you reduce the amount of garbage you throw away at home that goes into landfills, you can save the environment quite quickly. Not only can you throw away less rubbish to save the environment, recycling really helps as well. Instead of paper, aluminium and glass going into landfill, it gets recycled into new products.
Also, have food producing animals and plants at home. An example is having chickens at home; they'll have to be hens of course. You may need vegetable plants as well, but they're mostly useless; who needs vegetables anyway?

Solar power is collected everywhere, in solar farms and even on the tops of some houses. Wind power is also an effective way because the wind is very common where the wind farms are because they are in the middle of Australia where there are less buildings  around that block the wind from getting them.

Excess power is credited back the power grid. Solar energy will stop some of global warming effects as it does emit any greenhouse gases when producing energy.

When the wind turns the blades spin the turbine inside a small generator to make electricity. To make lots of energy companies build wind farms with lots and lots of windmills. Wind farms have to be built on a flat open area. The windmills blow at least 22 kms per hour.

You could also get a water tank and use that water to water your plants.

Solar power is also great because you get electricity cheaper.
