Question

Suggest any three methods to record damaged environment.

Answer 1

Answer:

Conserve Water

With 36 states in the U.S. potentially facing water shortages in 2013, water conservation is a critical environmental concern (See References 1). Conserving water not only extends our water resources for use by future generations, it protects the animals and plants that live in areas with limited water availability. Easy ways to conserve water include installing low-flow fixtures in bathrooms and kitchens, planting a native garden instead of a lawn in your yard, taking short showers and fixing leaks immediately (See References 2).

Clear the Air

Despite significant improvements in air quality since 1990, approximately 124 million people in the U.S. lived in counties that exceeded one or more national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) in 2010 (See References 4). Taking action to improve air quality runs the gamut from planting trees to filter the air to purchasing green energy for residential use and using ride-sharing, public, pedal or pedestrian transport to reduce trips and vehicle emissions (See References 4).

Reduce Waste

In 2010 Americans generated garbage at a rate of 4.43 pounds per person per day and recycled garbage at a rate of only 34 percent, leaving 165 million tons of trash destined for landfills (See References 5), according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency statistics. Reducing waste in combination with recycling can reduce methane emissions, save energy and increase forest carbon sequestration (See References 6). Waste reduction actions include reusing and buying used or recycled items, choosing items in less packaging and purchasing fewer items that could end up in a landfill (See References 7, Waste).
