What I Can Do to Make a Difference • Using low energy fluorescent light bulbs at home. • If every home in the UK changed just 3 light bulbs to these, enough energy would be saved to light UK’s street lamps.
Changing The Routine in the Bathroom • Taking shorter showers. • Soaping while the water is off, to save water. • Not leaving the water running while brushing your teeth. • Not using all the lights in the bathroom at once.
Recycling • Recycling will help reduce pollution, energy usage. Also water pollution. • Prevents the waste of potentially new materials. • New Recycle bins are now used in New York to help people recycle more, you can throw all your recyclables in to one container instead of separating.
New Technologies • Solar Panels • New Hybrid Vehicles • Insulation in the home • New Recycling techniques • Fluorescent Lighting • New “Green” Jobs
