• Environment means the surroundings. Land, water, air, plants, animals and other things that are surrounding us constitute our environment. Man and environment are closely related with each other.

• Over the last few centuries, the relation of man with its surroundings has changed with industrialization. Our activities have caused harm to the environment.

• Do not waste paper

Some facts about paper usage are….• The average family uses 6 trees worth of paper each
year. • Paper produced from raw material uses far more energy
and water than if we recycle our unwanted paper.• For every tonne of paper used for recycling 17 trees are
spared. • It takes 7 days for a recycled newspaper to come back
as a newspaper again. • 11 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions were
avoided by recycling paper and cardboard in 2008, the equivalent of taking around 3½ million cars off the road.

• Say NO To Plastic Bags

Here are easy some ways to use less plastic…• Avoid buying items packaged in plastic. • Use cloth shopping bags. • Skip bottled water and carry your own water• Say, “No straw, please!” • If you must use disposable tableware, get the
compostable kind. Using a patravali is more environment friendly.

• Segregation of waste
![Page 13: Environment](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020517/577c7c231a28abe0549972c2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Household waste should be separated daily into different bags for the different categories of waste such as wet and dry waste, which should be disposed off separately.
• Wet waste, which consists of leftover foodstuff, vegetable peels, etc., should be put in a compost pit and the compost could be used as manure in the garden.
• Dry waste consisting of cans, aluminium foils, plastics, metal, glass, and paper could be recycled.
• If we do not dispose of the waste in a more systematic manner, more than 1400 sq. km of land, which is the size of the city of Delhi, would be required in the country by the year 2047 to dispose of it.
