 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.
