It's a known knowledge that our planet earth is getting polluted day by day. Every 10 year the global rise in temperature is 1C. The worse part is the cause of pollution is our living style. Yes the things we use are the main cause .But the good thing is we can control over the cause by slightly changing in our living style and habits.

Step one is use of plastic bags.

We are used to of using new plastic carrier bags, every time we visit store for shopping we use loads of bags from grocery shopping to every day use .Billions and trillions of bags are produce each year .Plastic bags are waste of resource and also big problem for our environment. Plastic bags take more time in decaying (break down).Its said the poly bags take more than a 100 year to breakdown completely. So any body can guess as each of us use at least 50 bags a month .So the total contributions from all over the world would be more than we estimate.

We can save our environment by re-using our carrier bags every time we shop. There are loads of scheme in different store who offer points for re-using the poly bags .If not for points but for our children we can contribute a little hand .

Even if we use carrier bags and so we use one bag less every time we shop means millions of bags less use every year (considering on large scale per house hold).

Step two is re-cycling.

We can save by using re-cycling objects like glass, paper, tins, cans, bottles ,printers ,mobile/cell phone, telephones, computers and loads of other things . We can recycle any thing from cloth to tins.

We will be contributing in reducing the level of refusals and saving energy also. It is publish that Recycling just two tins of aluminium can save us energy to run TV for 6 hours.

Step three--Be a paper less where possible

As we all know paper come from the trees and trees are best source and contributor to fight against pollution.
