the method of protecting the environment

1. Recycling. We could all recycle things like paper and plastic to avoid energy being used to make new products.

2. Use less energy within the home by turning off lights, using less water and switching on appliances only when needed. This would burn less fossil fuels thus reducing the CO2 emissions and associated environmental affects such as acid rain.

3. Explore alternative energy techniques such as solar, wind and hydroelectric power. These can be done on a large scale international basis or on an individual basis (we could have our own solar panels if we wanted). This would reduce our dependency on current supplies of fuels and allow stability for further into the future. It would also decrease emissions as in number 2.

4. Introduce green belt land into extended areas. This would protect areas of the countryside from development and prevent habitats and land being destroyed to build settlements.

5. Use more environmentally friendly products e.g. wool for insulating houses.
