by: Inasha

Have you ever thought about how much damage you cause to the environment each day? Deliberate or not, our actions have a great impact on where we live. So as teenagers, it is high time we take up the responsibility to care for our environment.Firstly, it would be wise to start with small things such as switching off fans and lights when not in use or plugging of laptop chargers when it is charged. As many people say, small actions can cause a large difference in the long run. These actions will aid in lowering the energy wastage. Also, we can use alternative means such as solar power to stop the increase in burning of fossil fuels. It may be expensive, but it is surely worth a try.
Secondly, why not we give a try on recycling our wastes? We can make compost from biodegradable wastes which can be beneficial in increasing soil fertility. Also, paper and plastics can be recycled to be used again. Furthermore, it would be great idea to walk or use a bicycle instead of motorcycles and vehicles which burn fuel. Not only would this help our environment but wouldn’t it aid in our fitness as well?
In a nutshell, it is extremely important for us youngsters to join hands to care for our environment. This will be beneficial for us and the future generation
