We can promote the importance of water and also the ways how we can conserve water .For example , we can take a shorter shower ,to have a time limit because long shower is bad for our health as well .
Secondly , check the appliances regularly .For instance , check the faucets for leaks .Not only indoor appliances , also the outdoor faucets ,pipes and hoses as well .

Avoid excessive packaging

Millions tons of plastic packaging are being disposed and become the major type of waste.

This is due to supermarkets and online stores are over-packaging our goods. If we don't stop this, more plastic will be end up in incinerators and create more pollution.

Have less trash bins around so people are less inclined to create waste otherwise they'll have to carry it around. A negative consequence of this would be: people might begin littering.

purchase products with environement friendly packaging

Eating more vegetables and less meat as the livestock were built by deforestation, turning off lights when you're not using them, and recycling can make a difference. When many people take these small steps, it raises awarenesses and can inspire others to do the same, once everyone taken into action, it can make a huge impact to the environment.
