Our planet is on the path to destruction and total resource depletion although this might not happen in the next 100 years signs are appearing all over the world. So we must start listening to our planet and help her survive from now on. Below is a list of how you can save energy and make an effort in reducing the carbon footprint you make. Saving earth is saving mankind and all other species on the planet. So please try to make an effort which will help you and the generations to come.

1. Replace light bulbs
An average household dedicates 5% to 10% of its energy budget to lighting. Replacing an incandescent light bulb with compact fluorescents can save up to 80% of that energy used and they last 6 times longer. Another benefit is it puts out more light while using less power and less heat.

2. Recycle
Proper recycling does a great deal to help save natural resources needed to make future products. For instance recycling 1 ton of paper can save 17 full grown trees and 3000-4000 Kwh among other things. Also try recycling, food scraps, and electronics that could get thrown away. Composting will help reduce the amount of food waste in your garbage and create nutrient-rich fertilizer for your garden.
