Below is a list of some simple changes that serve a great purpose.
• Plant at least one small plant in the balcony if you don’t have land to do so. This will help to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
• Take efforts to save various forms of energy. Making a great use of sunlight and switching off lights when not in use will save electricity. This saves a great amount of water and wind power that is used to generate electricity.
• Harness available natural energy sources. Use of solar water heating system saves energy costs and also reduces the emission of various gases like hydrocarbons that occurs in other systems.
• Make use of eco-friendly cleaning products.
• Try to find environment friendly alternatives to things that are being used currently. For example, make use of paper bags if possible instead of plastic bags.
• Regulate the use of automobiles and prefer walking if possible. This will not only save money, but also develops good health and reduces the extent of air pollution. If you prefer to use cars, prefer bio-fuel rather than gasoline. Bio-fuels have a great impact in saving environment by reducing the extent of gaseous emissions and particulate matter. Particulate matter travel long in air and deposit various toxic materials.
• Make judicious use of water. Avoid dripping taps. Make use of recent advances in washing machine, designs that consume fewer amounts of water and detergents but have a great cleaning capability. Reduced the use of detergents would reduce the amount of wastes liberated in to the environment.
• For cooking purposes, use of Bio-fuel is the best option even compared to electric stoves and LPG. This will save a great number of trees that are being cut down just for the purpose of fuel. It even controls the extent of hydrocarbons released in to the environment by use of LPG. Bio-fuel plants are cheap and easy to install.
• Adopt construction methods that make the building air-tight. This will reduce the energy costs used for heating purposes and even save the environment. Make use of construction material that is eco-friendly like greater recycling ability. Harness natural resources to maximum extent.
• Follow a green working environment. Some of the eco-friendly measures are to reduce the use of paper and fax machines, instead make efficient use of scanners, e-technology advancements like e-conference facilities, e-mail and fax modems. Make use of products to spread the message of being eco-friendly to the public.

In addition to following eco-friendly life style, try to encourage and increase the awareness among others about the environment impacts. Make it a part of the child education. A collective effort of society as a whole will serve to reduce environment pollution and give future generations a better place to live in.
