It is no surprise that the world is getting polluted each
day that passes. Within the increase of the human
population, the increase of the consumption is heading
to a point non-stop. With earth, air, and water
pollution, additional of global warming and enormous
expenditure, the world that we live in is slowly parting
apart. Even though it is safe to say that there is stil a
chance to save our home, it will be only possible within
taking some cautions.

According to the survey results: 33 people recycle regularly when 12 people don’t
recycle regularly. We should recycle because;
-To make environment clean,
-To conservate of materials,
-To save energy,
When you think of recycling you should really think about the whole idea; reduce,
reuse and recycle. When you produce less garbage it helps in reducing the landfills
and also helps in giving the land back to the nature also we can avoid from air and
water pollution. Be mindful of what you do, pay attention to the items you buy and
always check yourself to see if you really need it or if it comes in a package with less
waste. We can all do our part and we will make a huge difference.

Most of the participants of the survey aren’t member of a environmental group. But why is
it important to be a member of an environmental group?
Environmental groups not only helps a deal amount for environmental-destruction, it also
unites and guides people who are willing to help as well. If you are think “How am I
supposed to help?” , these environmental groups would be your guidance like;
Greenpeace began in 1971 when a group of activists put themselves directly in harm’s way
in order to protest nuclear testing off the coast of Alaska.

46 people has taken reduce electricity consumption when 8 people hasn’t taken any
steps to reduce electricity consumption.
Why reducing electricity consumption is important; because energy management is
the key to saving energy in your organization. Much of the importance of energy saving
stems from the global need to save energy - this global need affects energy prices,
emissions targets,
In your daily life, do you use

“Plastics are very long-lived products that could potentially have service over
decades, and yet our main use of these lightweight, inexpensive materials are
as single-use items that will go to the garbage dump within a year, where
they’ll persist for centuries. Billions of bottles take up valuable landfill space,
leak toxic additives into the groundwater in addition the cost of the bottling,
packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the
globe is energy consuming, too. So if we can decrease number of people using
plastic bottles (43) we can help to conserve the environment we live in. We
can always use flasks or glass bottles instead of plastic bottles.
Do you know the harm plastic
products give to the

According to the result of the survey nearly everyone is well aware of the harms of the
plastic products give to the environment. So what are these harms;
Plastic debris, laced with chemicals and often ingested by marine animals, can injure or
poison wildlife.
• Floating plastic waste, which can survive for thousands of years in water, serves as
mini transportation devices for disrupting habitats.
• Plastic buried deep in landfills can leach harmful chemicals that spread into
groundwater.
• Around 4 percent of world oil production is used as a feedstock to make plastics, and a
similar amount is consumed as energy in the process.
Do you prefer using public
transport instead of your
personal vehicle?

The graphics above shows that people are using public transport not as much as they
should be because nearly half of the participants prefer public transport because of
necessity.
Of course the biggest importance of the public transportation is, it helps the
environment. When you switch from driving your car to taking public transport, you are
reducing your carbon footprint and making a great step forward in saving the
environment. The environmental costs of individuals using their cars everyday has done
massive damage to the environment and if majority or all of these individuals like you
and me use public transport instead, think of what we are doing good to the
environment.

From this question we receive that
most people are concerned about
«Environmental pollution» and
«Global warming».
Environmental pollution is the
introduction of harmful pollutants
into a certain environment that make
an environment unhealthy to live in.
The widespread pollutants are
usually chemicals, garbage, and
wastewater. Environmental pollution
is happening in multifold parts of
Earth usually in the form of air and
water pollution
Global warming is the rise in the
average temperature of Earth's
atmosphere and oceans since the late
19th century and its projected
continuation and change in the
rhythms of climate that all living
things have come to rely upon.

The graphics below are the answers of the questions respectively 29 people
consider themselves as environmentally friendly when 8 people don’t. It is
important for people to be self-aware since «realization» is the first step to start
conserving the environment and recycle regularly.
Don’t ever forget to be “Environmentally Friendly” because remember, future
awaits!

Most of the people think that recycle opportunities in our campus is adequate which is
important because schools are one of the most paper consuming place. If we can manage
to recycle regulary we can reduce the amount of trees cut down every year to produce
new papers.
