INDIVIDUAL  ACTION

The environment is simply a home in which we reside and try to make a better living by consuming its resources.Through greed and recklessness, we have caused the environment to be in jeopardy. Earth Hour is simply a way to reduce the use of electricity and to inform people of their role in combating climate change. I believe that participation enables individuals to cultivate a greater appreciation for the environment. Young people can improve their knowledge and understanding of the current status of the environment by enrolling for camps such as those run by Yayasan Anak Warisan Alam and be part of projects involving the environment. A better grasp of the environment will allow youth to contribute towards the environment with little detrimental effects and hopefully solve issues that involve reducing our carbon footprints.

I find the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle strategy (in that order) efficient. Don't use polystyrene! Bring a container when buying food. Try not to buy individually-packaged foodstuff because that accumulates to a lot of plastic waste in the end.Youngsters can do lots of things to make a difference such as reducing the use of plastic bags and using both sides of the paper for printing.
