Actions for youths

 

Turn the lights off when you leave a room – use daylight rather than electric light whenever you can
Turn off your computer and TV at the plug when you aren’t using them – don’t leave them on standby
Unplug your chargers when you’ve finished using them
Wait until you have a heap of clothes to wash, don’t just wash one or two items because they are your favourite!
Bus/cycle/walk short distances (less than 3kms) rather than getting a member of your family or a friend to get the car out
Turn the tap off when brushing your teeth – it will save heaps of water!
Take showers rather than baths because they use a lot less water and try to keep your showers to 5mins or less!
Wash your car with a bucket of water and sponge rather than a power washer
Put all your rubbish in a bin - don’t throw it on the floor! Rubbish thrown away carelessly can seriously damage your planet’s health
Recycle whenever you can to cut down on waste going to landfill 
Say ‘No’ to plastic bags – always take a reusable bag with you when you go shopping, you could even design your own!
