Ecological problems in our days

The question about the state of environment should worry everybody. Our health depends on its state. Environment is water that we drink, the air which we breathe. Caring about the world we care about ourselves.

People buy a lot of unnecessary things. Only buy what you really need and use all of it. Thinking about buying something new?
Try the 30-day rule – only buy it if you still want it 30 days after you first saw it!

Save on paper. Try to cut down on the amount off paper you use. Use a computer and proofread your writing on the screen before your print it out. Use both sides of paper and then recycle it

Let’s plant trees.
Our future depends only on us.
Let’s make it happy and bright.
