Ways you can help the environment:

• Turn off equipment like televisions and stereos when you're not using them. That little red standby light means they're still using power - and that means a contribution to global warming.
• Save water:
  - turn off the tap when brushing your teeth.
  - collect the water used to wash vegetables and salad to water your houseplants.
• Call your local government to see if they have a disposal location for used car batteries and other hazardous household wastes.
• Recycle your paper, glass, plastics and other waste. Call your local government to find out if they offer a collection service.
• Use rechargeable batteries.
• Send e-greetings instead of paper cards.
• Help reduce the world's rubbish dumps - don't use "throw-away" products like paper plates and napkins, and plastic knives, forks, and cups.
