Protect your environment

Over the last few decades the environment is suffering the consequences of human activity. For that reason, the younger generations need to take the lead to try to tackle this situation.

First, the most efficient way to protect the local environment is to recycle. This is such a simple action that it seems odd to imagine that there is people still who do not do it. If everybody recycled, our carbon footprint would fall drastically. 

Second, avoiding the use of motorized vehicles is also important to reduce pollution. What is more, if people decided to cycle or simple walk, this would also have an impact in the quality of the air.

Finally, refusing to take plastic bags when we go shopping and carrying our own fabric bag instead would also mean that the amount of plastic we consume would be reduced in a significant way.

All in all, young people need to take care of the environment and be aware that by taking simple but effective measures such as recycling, avoiding motorized vehicles, and carrying their own fabric bags, would make a difference in their environment.
