First, you must be aware of the importance of spoiling the environment and raise awareness to others.
Each of us must take responsibility for the use and abuse of certain products that act on the harmful nature.
We can do so much and very simple to help save the planet in which we live. With these simple guidelines can cause a domino effect that will force manufacturers not to continue producing products that damage our environment.
- Avoid the purchase and consumption of aerosols or sprays in the composition involving chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
- Avoid the use of fire extinguishers containing halon, a substance very aggressive to the ozone layer.
- Check that the insulation you buy does not contain (CFC), instead you can use dark agglomerated cork, which serves the same purpose and does not pollute the environment.
- Make a good operation and maintenance of air conditioners, and that a malfunction caused the leakage of CFCs into the atmosphere. Maintain a temperature of 23 or 24 degrees will reduce the harmful gases and lower energy consumption.
- Call a technician if you notice that the freezer will not freeze properly, and that might be leaking. The same goes for the air-conditioned car.
- If you're buying a new air conditioner, opt for those that do not contain CFCs.
- If you know that some crops are used in products with methyl bromide, have the obligation to report, because they are highly polluting.
- Recycle today, with advances that there is no forgiveness if you still do not recycle.
There are also other actions that help reduce air pollution we breathe
- Limit the use of cars and other equipment such as compressors, lawn machines to explosion, etc.
- If it is necessary to take the car, it traces a route that allows for the shortest path
- Use alternative means of transport: buses, biking and walking.
- Reduces the use of heating and air conditioning.
- buy household utensils and lower consumption bulbs, in addition to pollute less, save on your energy bill.
We can all help care for the environment. Before demanding the rulers who make policies to take care of our environment, let us / them as / as doing our bit.
