The Slogan That I Have Chosen From The Internet That Says

The slogan that I have chosen from the internet that says “Make trees...
Not stumps” means that instead

of cutting down trees, we should instead plant more to conserve and preserve our environment. Having
more trees in our environment is very important as it greatly impacts the overall health of our
environment, and as we all know that as time goes by, the overall health of our environment
deteriorates, and planting trees also has many benefits to our ecosystem. Trees give off oxygen that we
need to breathe, reduce the amount of storm water runoff, which reduces erosion and pollution in our
waterways and may reduce the effects of flooding. Also, many species of wildlife depend on trees for
habitat; provide food, protection, and homes for many birds and mammals. Planting trees, is one of the
most common and basic solution to save and improve the health of our environment, and by following
what the slogan has said, there are a variety of programs and organizations that provides aid to our
environment by having tree planting activities and many more where we could join to.
Here are some ways/solutions we could sustain or preserve the environment:
1. Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Cut down on what you throw away. Follow the three "R's" to
conserve natural resources and landfill space.
2. Volunteer. Volunteer for cleanups in your community. You can get involved in protecting your
watershed, too.
3. Educate. When you further your own education, you can help others understand the
importance and value of our natural resources.
4. Conserve water. The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up
in the ocean.
5. Choose sustainable food products.
6. Shop wisely. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.
7. Use long-lasting light bulbs. Energy efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also
flip the light switch off when you leave the room!
8. Plant a tree. Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help
combat climate change.
9. Don't send chemicals into our waterways. Choose non-toxic chemicals in the home and office.
10. Walk, bike or take public transportation. Drive less.
11. Choose recyclable over single-use.
12. Compost.
13. Support Eco-friendly companies.
14. Turn off electric items when they are not in use to save energy. A good rule of thumb is that if
you aren’t using it, turn it off. This goes for lights, televisions, computers, printers, video game
consoles and so on.
15. Unplug devices whenever possible to limit the flow of electricity. Leaving devices such as
laptops, desktop computers, mixer-grinders, ovens, TVs etc., plugged in can use "phantom"
energy. Many devices and appliances simply stay on standby or enter a sleep mode when they
are turned off. These items still draw electricity when they are in this state.
16. Adjust the temperature settings in your house. Set your systems to a slightly lower or higher
temperature than it is outside, when you can. This makes it so your systems don’t have to work
as hard. Plus, the warmer the heat, the more money it costs; and the same goes for your air
conditioner—the colder the air, the more money you spend.
17. Switch to LED light bulbs in as many lights as you can. LED light bulbs do cost more than
conventional light bulbs, but the benefits outweigh the cost. They use 25-85% less energy, last
3-25% longer, and are much better/safer for the environment.
18. Trade in your electric dryer for a good old-fashioned clothesline. Tumble dryers are among the
biggest energy-users in most households, after the refrigerator and air conditioner. Air drying
your clothes is environmentally friendly and still leaves your clothes smelling fresh.
19. Try eating less meat and dairy to help the environment. Domestic meat and dairy production
requires a lot of natural resources. Eating less meat and dairy, and more plants, is one way you
may be able to help the environment, and stay healthy yourself.
20. Don't waste food. Plan your meals so that you don’t cook more than you will eat. Store your
leftovers and use them up at one of your meals over the next few days. If you do have an
overrun of food, such as after a party, share it with friends or neighbours.
