Green Tips to Save Mother Earth . •Plant native flowers and trees in your backyard. •Walk, bike, and carpool. Support alternative transportation and drive less. •Recycle all computer diskettes, CD discs, videos and batteries. Instead of using regular batteries, shift to less hazardous, rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries. •Don't buy plastic bottled water if you know your tap water is safe; better to use a filter if water is unsafe. Transporting water from its source to the supermarket shelves is an expensive waste of resources.

•Recycle your aluminium, glass, and plastic products, as well as newspapers and mixed paper.

The Three R's of the Environment Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Reduce Reducing the amount of waste you produce is the best way to help the environment. There are lots of ways to do this. For example: Instead of buying something you're not going to use very often, see if you can borrow it from someone you know. Cars use up energy and cause pollution. Some ways to reduce the environmental damage caused by cars include carpooling with friends, walking, taking the bus, or riding your bike instead of driving. Save energy by turning off lights that you are not using. Save water by turning off the faucet while you brush your teeth.

Reuse Bring cloth sacks to the store with you instead of taking home new paper or plastic bags. You can use these sacks again and again. You'll be saving some trees! Plastic containers and reusable lunch bags are great ways to take your lunch to school without creating waste. Coffee cans, shoe boxes, margarine containers, and other types of containers people throw away can be used to store things or can become fun arts and crafts projects. Use your imagination!

Don't throw out clothes, toys, furniture, and other things that you don't want anymore. Somebody else can probably use them. You can bring them to a centre that collects donations, give them to friends, or even have a yard sale.
