HOW TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT BY RECYCLE PORT HARCOURT CITY
See the guidelines below:
1. HOST A RECYCLING DRIVE.
Get your friends together and collect plastic, metal, glass, and old electronics. Electronic materials can be taken to an e-waste recycling facility to make sure they are properly handled and safely recycled.
2. STOP OR REDUCE YOUR USE OF DISPOSABLE PLASTICS.
According to EDN, each year over 100,000 marine animals and one million birds die from ingesting and choking on plastic. Take the pledge today to eliminate unnecessary plastic from your life. Start using reusable water bottles, travel mugs, and grocery bags. Use social media to encourage others to join you!
3. HOST YOUR OWN EVENT TO CLEAN AND BEAUTIFY YOUR COMMUNITY.
Get a group of friends together to clean your local park, school grounds, or neighborhood streets. Pick up trash and recycle the cans, bottles, and plastic. Celebrate your accomplishments by planting some flowers and trees!
4. PLANT YOUR OWN VEGETABLE GARDEN.
Don’t have the space? Consider a container garden or find a community or school garden to share your green thumb. Even better - find a community garden that donates their harvest to a local food bank.
5. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FARMER’S MARKET.
Buying produce from local farmers not only guarantees you fresher, more delicious fruits and vegetables, but it also helps the environment.
6. CONSERVE ENERGY.
Walk, ride your bike, take public transportation, or car pool to work and social activities. Turn off the lights and unplug appliances and chargers when not in use. Take shorter showers and don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth, wash dishes, etc.
