Climate change becomes a serious problem that should be solved soon. Weather patterns are changing and will threaten food production, and sea levels are rising and could cause catastrophic flooding across the globe. Countries must make drastic actions to avoid a future with irreversible damage to major ecosystems and planetary climate. But what about individual? What can we do to pitch in and help save the Earth? There are plenty of things you can do every day to help reduce greenhouse gases and your carbon footprint to make a less harmful impact on the environment. Taking care of the Earth is not just a responsibility, it's a necessity. Here are things you can do now to help save the planet.
1. Conserve water.
The little things can make a big difference. Every time you turn off the water while you're brushing your teeth, you're doing something good Got a leaky faucet? You might be dripping as much as 340 liters of water down the drain every day. So fix it! It's easy and cheap. Stop drinking bottled water. Switch to use a reusable bottle for your drink. You'll save a ton of cash and help reduce a ton of plastic waste in the process.

3. Reduce, reuse, recycle.
You can help reduce pollution just by putting that paper in a recycling bin. If an office building of 7,000 workers recycled all of its office paper waste.for a year, it would be the equivalent of taking almost 400 cars off the road You can also take reusable bags to the grocery, and avoid using disposable plates, spoons, glass, cups, and napkins. They create huge amounts of waste. Further buy products that are made of recycled materials. It all makes a difference. You also need to recycle the rubbish such as by composting them. .
4. Live energy wise.
Make your home more energy efficient and save money. Pay attention to the use of electricity. Saving electricity means reducing the energy to produce the electricity. You can use LED lamps and turn off electric devices when we don't use them.
5. Plant trees.
