I have compiled a few solutions
that does not require for you to go out and buy solar panels or a hybrid car in
order to be environmentally conscious.
Feeling the need to reduce emissions starts with the little things that
you do. The purpose of this list is in order for you to re-think a few of the
little things that you can do in order to reduce the size of your carbon
footprint:
Your Neighborhood:
- Build
a community garden
Your Waste:
- Natural composting, or biological
decomposition is a great process, which produces a natural source of enriching
soil. This practice is a great new innovation for the agricultural world. The
practice of compost is a form of recycling kitchen waste along with your yard
trimmings. A great way in which this practice of reducing garbage works is
complying your waste in a designated spot in the ground.
“Composting organic materials that have been diverted from
landfills ultimately avoids the production of methane and leachate formulation
in the landfills. Compost has the ability to prevent pollutants in storm water
runoff from reaching surface water resources. Compost has also been shown to
prevent erosion and silting on embankments parallel to creeks, lakes, and
rivers, and prevents erosion and turf loss on roadsides, hillsides, playing
fields, and golf courses.” http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/conserve/rrr/composting/benefits.htm
