Eco-friendly_Environment.doc

Eco-Environment Is closely related to human survival and development of the natural environment, generally refers to water environment, land, climate, environment and biological environmentSince the days of the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Chinese, through the Islamic Golden Age and the Renaissance, philosophers and scientists have sought to make sense of the forces and processes of the natural world and humanitys place within them. In the past half century or so, this endeavour has accelerated as concerns over the impacts of industrialization have emerged and more recently been fuelled by a growing realization that people once marginal influencers ofenvironmental change are now its principal drivers, from biodiversity loss to climate change. The development of mankind itself has long been confined to areas of economic development, and economic development of the natural environment and natural resources to rely on the support of the productive forces, and inevitably the quality of the environment have a negative impact. The development of humanity has been a global threat to the environment for the survival of human beings. Growing environmental problems such as global warming, air and water pollution are causing great concern among scientists and world leaders alike. The general public becoming increasingly aware of environmental issues and is expressing their concern for the environment . This issue affects all of us. Now . We are not sure whether we can overcome the crisis , maybe we cannot . The situation has been so terrible The term “eco-friendly” is used to describe activities which are good for the environment. And you may also hear terms like “environmentally friendly” or “green” used to describe similar activities. There is a range of ways in which activities can be eco-friendly.People engage in eco-friendly activities because they are concerned about the health of the environment. Pollution, rampant use of natural resources, and other activities were questioned about how these activities hurt the environment, and people began to look into more eco-friendly ways of living and doing business.1. Bike（by bike replace by car）, use public transit, drive slower, keep your tires inflated.If you must drive, go slower with proper tire inflation. It saves both fuel and tires, and lowers emissions. It also saves lives. 2. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (use cloth bag replace use plastic bag)Reusing packaging material saves more energy than recycling. 3. Save waterDont let faucets run. Reuse the water,for example wash hands and then water the flowers 4. Quit smokingSecond-hand smoke is a major indoor air pollutant and health hazard. When you quit, both you and your family will lead longer and healthier lives. 5. Eat less meat/eat more local and organic foodsFeedlots are a major source of organic pollution. Tropical forests are cut to raise beef. 6. Lower your aircondition in the winter. Raise it in the summerWearing a sweater in the winter and short sleeves in the summer saves energy and reduces pollution. 7. Be a volunteer do something good to environment8. Plant a tree with a childTake a walk in the woods, or plant trees which store carbon dioxide. Teaching our children to love and care for the planet is the most important thing we can do to insure the future of humankind. Global warming, damage to the ozone layer, acid rain, fresh water resources crisis, energy shortage, deforestation, desertification, accelerate the extinction of species, litter uncurbed, toxic chemicals 1 the use of cloth bag We go to the store or market shopping, use reusable food basket and bag shopping to buy food. 2 walk, ride a bike instead of by bus 8 use both sides of paper 9 save food and water, turn off taps,multiple use of water 14 try to buy local products 15 electricity saving 16 rejection the excessive packaging 19 refuse to use disposable chopsticks 20 try to use solar energy 21 make use of renewable materials 22 use the energy-saving lamps 26 use much soap, use less detergent 57 save paper, waste paper recycling 62 recycling of waste plastics 63 recycling of waste glass 80 understand the home water distribution and pollution 85 avoid tourism pollution 87 do the environmental protection volunteer First of all, must comply with the relevant provisions, forbid to throw waste, put the rubbish into the container, especially not to throw waste batteries, because a waste battery contained heavy metals, if flow clean water, it caused the pollution is very serious. Secondly, in the study, trying to save stationery, eliminate waste, for example, the pencils are made of wood, wasting pencils is equal to the destruction of forests. Sixth, take good care of trees and flowers, does not destroy the city greening, greening and actively participate in the tree planting activity.

Is there any thing we can do about it? Lets take a review how important habitat is and how to preserve it.1. Join the Green MovementThere are many organizations, at a local, national and international level devoted to preserving the environment. Together they form the Green movement.Whenever a habitat is threatened by industry or development, the Green movement takes the side of the environment. These groups already enjoy considerable public support, but their most important work is education. Unless people understand how threats to the environment affect them, they cannot appreciate the importance of preserving habitats.Many farmers are sympathetic to the Green movement, despite the pressure to grow the maximum amount of food. Some make an effort to preserve small areas of woodland and hedgerow and are careful not to spray these areas with pesticides. A few have turned their backs on modern methods and use no chemicals at all, either in pesticides or fertilizers.2. Organic FarmingFarming without chemicals is known as organic farming. In several countries, organic pr
