In fact, vehicles produce one-third of all U.S. air pollution.Challenge yourself to drive less and bike more. Riding your bike forces you to utilize your own muscle power.You’ll get a workout all while helping the environment. Plus, it requires much less energy to produce a bike than it does to manufacture a car.If you can’t bike to work for whatever reason, take public transportation. It puts less cars on the road, which reduces the amount of exhaust filling the air at once.]]> 2021-06-20 16:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/Vansh_/s6i9rocimbz1wmwy/wish/1616282903 3. conserve water and protect our waterways: Vansh_ https://padlet.com/Vansh_/s6i9rocimbz1wmwy/wish/1616284308 Reducing your water usage is essential: There’s only so much water on this earth, and we can’t make any more of it.Did you know 96.5 percent of the water on earth is too salty for human consumption?

Whenever I go to the farmers market , I’m amazed by the bounty mother nature has to offer with each passing season. All the produce is at its peak, so it’s absolutely delicious.Try to buy the majority of your food as local produce. Animal products are much more intense as they require more water and resources.]]> 2021-06-20 16:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/Vansh_/s6i9rocimbz1wmwy/wish/1616285377 Vansh_ https://padlet.com/Vansh_/s6i9rocimbz1wmwy/wish/1621824192                                                   VANSH TYAGI
