 Saving the Environment: One Home at a Time
 Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes. It comes from 
household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the waste people produce and throw away. What 
can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly, a person can help save the environment by doing simple 
things.
 First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again. Recycling can also 
reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper products. It takes very little effort. It is not hard to 
place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper in a bin. Anyone can do it.
 Second, we need to watch the amount of water used in the home. It can be conserved by taking short 
shower instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or washing machine only when fully 
loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth.
 Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever possible, but should also try to use this 
waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and food scraps can be made into compost for plants. The 
average person produces 4.3 pounds of waste every day, but we can reduce that amount by recycling and 
reusing.
 If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep the planet from becoming more polluted.
