                                     How to help improve local environment

There are many things people can do to improve their local environment. Families should make
sure that glass, paper, and other recyclables are put into the right bins for recycling. If your
neighborhood doesn’t have a recycling program, ask your mayor to start one. It’d be easier for
everyone to recycle their trash if there were drop-off locations near their house or if they could
leave their trash outside for pickup.
Stores can also help solve environmental problems. They should stop giving single-use plastic bags
to their customers and sell reusable bags. If people had to buy reusable bags, they would start to
bring their own bags. Stores should also use less packaging for food items. Lots of fruit and
vegetables don’t need to be wrapped in plastic.
Schools and businesses should try to use less electricity because electrical power plants can cause a
lot of pollution. Use fans and open windows when you can to save electricity. Or try to set the air
conditioner temperature to around 24-27 degrees Celsius and not too low like 18 degrees. Everyone
will still feel comfortable, and the air conditioners won’t use as much electricity.
Schools should stop selling plastic bottles in their cafeterias and ask students to bring reusable
bottles. Teachers can organize clean-ups around the school or in parks. Students should bring
reusable water bottles to school and try to use less paper.
