10 simple things you can do to save the earth.

Love the earth for a better life for all. We live on it, so we should take care of it. You can read '10 ways to maintain love' to keep your relationship. But if you do not know how to keep the earth, you may follow these.

1. Use your light efficiently. When you don’t need it, turn it off. That decreased heating and energy you use, good for environment and save your money too.

2. Use energy saver fluorescent lamp. If you have a regular incandescent bulb at your house, you should change it to a compact fluorescent bulb. It is good to the environment, and save a lot of your money. Although a fluorescent bulb may seem expensive, energy experts confirm that you will save more money with a fluorescent bulb long term. Even though incandescent bulb may be cheaper, it will burn out often. Furthermore, fluorescent bulb will only use a quarter of energy to generate the same amount of light.

3. Pay attention to your water. Turn off the running faucet when you brush your teeth. If you leave the water running for two minutes, you waste up to ten gallons of water. Try drinking tap water instead of bottled water, so you aren't wasting all that packaging as well.

4. Turn down the heater. If you must turn on the heater in the winter, you should set it at 135 degrees. Try to put on thicker blanket or jacket when you go to bed. You may not even need your heater. Wash your clothes in cold water when you can. Make your home more energy efficient (and save money). Clean your air filters so your system doesn't have to work overtime. Get a programmable thermostat so you aren't wasting energy when you aren't home.

5. Carry cloth shopping bags. Cloth shopping bags are better than plastic shopping bags for the environment. Used paper box will be a good choice too.

6. Recycle: Recycle newspapers, plastic, cans, or glass. Learn about your local recycling facilities. Recycle whenever you can. If you're trying to choose between two products, pick the one with the least packaging.

7. Alert your family about the environment: If you have children, you should teach them about recycling. Teach them to love the environment.

8. Leave your car at home. If you can stay off the road just two days a week, you'll reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 1,590 pounds per year. Combine your errands -- hit the post office, grocery store and shoe repair place in one trip. It will save you gas and time.

9. Walk or ride your bike to work, school and anywhere you can. You can reduce greenhouse gases while burning some calories and improving your health. If you can't walk or bike, use mass transit or carpool. Every car not on the road makes a difference.

10. Compost. Think about how much trash you make in a year. Reducing the amount of solid waste you produce in a year means taking up less space in landfills. Plus, compost makes a great natural fertilizer.
