Helping the planet has never been easier
=The sheer amount of environmental problems our planet can seem daunting. From deforestation and pollution to global warming, the list goes on.
Here are eight of the best things you can do at home to help the planet - including something as small as planting a tree in your garden or turning the tap off when you brush your teeth. Conserve water The UK has been hit with a spate of hose pipe bans over the past few years, so making sure you’re not using more water than you need can make a huge difference. You can save water at home by using a bowl in the sink when washing fruit, vegetables or dishes and filling a jug of water and put it in the fridge for when you want a cool drink.
Plant a tree One activity you can try is planting trees or plants in the garden. The whole family can get involved with this project, and together you can learn about how trees and plants provide food and oxygen for billions of animals and creatures on Earth, including humans. In turn, plants and trees can help save energy, clean the air and combat the effects of climate change.
