World Environment
was celebrated worldwide on the 5TH OF June 2012,this year’s World
Environment day was tagged-GREEN
ECONOMY-DOES IT INCLUDE YOU? This brings us to the basic question of how individuals are contributing to having a sustainable environment.
There was no
activity by the Lagos state government in Lagos this year to celebrate this
year’s World Environment because of the Dana Air crash that happened over the
weekend in Lagos. The Commissioner of Environment Mr. Tunji Bello said the
decision to cancel the event was to honour the victims of the Dana Air plane
crash, and to comply
with the cancellation of all state events in order to commiserate with the
families and relations of the deceased. (Punch Nigeria)- May the souls of
the departed rest in peace (Amen)
It is on
this note that I give you these few tips on how we as individuals can create a
more sustainable environment.
1.
Turn
off appliances and lights when you leave the room, this is to save energy
- Buy energy efficient appliances
- Don't let the water run while shaving or brushing teeth to conserve water
4. Take short
showers instead of tub baths, this is to
conserve water
5. Buy rechargeable
batteries instead of disposable ones. This is also to save energy
6. Buy only things
that you and your family really needs.
7. Clear your drainage to ensure free flow of water when it rains.
8. Avoid dumping wastes
in the drainage.
9. Plant trees when
you build your houses, help to reduce green house gases in the atmosphere.
10.
Take a walk to short distances instead of driving
your car.
