Ways to save water

Plastic waste eliminated in the oceans has been a constant worry as sea animals think of it as food and are poisoned after consuming it. If we can reduce or stop the use of plastic in our daily lives, we could be able to drop the rate of plastic pollution in oceans considerably.

 Here’s what you can start doing right away: Use cloth bags Use eco-friendly items, like steel bottles, steel or bamboo straws, etc. Refill your bottles Carry reusable shopping bags Recycle When the oceans absorb the CO2 from the atmosphere, the pH level of the water decreases.

 This is called ocean acidification. If the CO2 in the atmosphere keeps increasing and the pH level keeps decreasing, it will harm the sea animals and ultimately harm us too. Try these to do your bit: Become a smart driver; drive only when necessary Use a bicycle Use public transport Walk Saving water eventually leads to reducing wastewater, which is ultimately drained into the oceans.

 Follow these tips to conserve water: Take bucket baths or short showers Close all the taps when not in use Fix those leaking pipelines When you reduce your energy consumption, you help decrease the toxic power plant emissions. These ways can help you save energy starting today: Turn off the lights when not in use Use natural light Utilise solar power Seek eco-friendly options to keep yourself warm or cool depending on the weather Wash a large pile of laundry every week instead of many smaller ones Hang dry your laundry If you love boating or often go fishing in the ocean, you can do your bit by sailing safely and fishing responsibly. 

 Try these: Use eco-friendly products Use water consciously Do not throw trash in the ocean Try to use the sail instead of the motor Know the fishing rules in the area Use the right hooks for fishing Keep only the fish you want to eat and release the rest Minimise harm to the fish when releasing them
