 Efficient, Alternative Ways To Protect The Environment


 * There are many efficient, alternative ways to protect the environment. One, for example, is becoming carbon neutral. Becoming carbon neutral is actually quite a hard thing to achieve. Government tax breaks may even have to occur in order to find alternative energy sources, such as solar panels, wind mills, etc. The only main way that we can attempt to be more environmentally friendly is by in fact using bio fuels/alternative energy. However, this can take quite the toll on your pocket. If we reduce all of our carbon imprints, everyone individually, we can really help the world; therefore making it not AS bad to use carbon exerting ships/planes/trucks for trade. Another efficient, alternative way to protect the environment is simply reducing, reusing, and recycling. If you use a lot of paper and plastic products at your school or work place, them you should make sure to place them in correct recycling bins. By doing this, if everyone participates, the environment will be greatly helped. Another example is alternative energy sources; however, these can be quite expensive. One source is wind power. By using the power of the wind, energy can be created and stored. Another source is solar power. This uses the energy of the sun to operate things such as buildings. A way that you can maintain the temperature of your home is through insulation. This can cut off on oil use, if you use that to heat your home. Overall, there are many alternative ways to protect the environment.**
