1. Plant a tree

As simple as it sounds, the impact is enormous on our world. Planting a tree and watching it grow can help much in saving our planet than any other method. Trees give oxygen to absorb carbon emissions around us, also taking in carbon dioxide during the process of photosynthesis.

5 .Turn off electronic devices

Turning off electronic devices when you are moving out for a couple of days or more is a simple way of conserving energy to save our world from the yearly increase in temperature. Your unnecessary usage of electronic appliances will not only save power, but prolong the lifetime of your gadgets.

6. Use less HOT water

Saving our world takes little or no work most times, but often they are overlooked and our attention is usually focused on automobiles and industries emitting carbon. One of these is the excessive use of hot water during laundry or cleaning which can reduce hereby saving energy for the future.

7. Create Awareness

Finally, trying your best to inform people around you. Tell them how they can contribute their part by conserving energy that will be good for the environment. Saving the world doesn’t need the topsy-turvy of advanced technology most times, but by doing little things that counts at the long-run.
