What do you think someone your age can do to help environement clean?

Environmental issues are one of the most considerable topics around the world. Thinking environmentally and going "green" is today's ongoing activities that consider the future of the Earth. It is inevitable fact that the Earth would not last long if humans do not engage in promoting the health of our planet. However, there are some limitations in helping the environment clean especially during one's student life. Nevertheless, I think we could definitely help reduce the pollution and save the Earth in various ways such as by recycling, joining clubs, and using transportations.

One of the effective way in keeping our resources is recycling what we have used. This is not a time-consuming act nor takes our expenses out of our pockets. Therefore, it is the easiest way of keeping our environment clean. Recycling by paper, plastics, or cans may allow factories to recover them into new items without wasting the Earth's resources anymore. Once we are used to the method of recycling the materials, it also saves the Earth's valuable resources.

Secondly, we can join clubs or programs that is relevant to the environment. There are thousands of clubs in schools and is open to all students who are interested in it. Clubs can arrange its members to analyze the issues concerning the Earth and organize volunteering services for individuals to meet their goals. Once engaged in at least one club, we will have an idea of how our actions can cause the actual result to our environment and eventually, to us. It is our decision on whether to join them or not. I think this is also a good chance to further approach in knowing better about our planet. Furthermore, joining a club could be an open chance to only students since it would be hard to engage in such activities when we grow up and have our own jobs.

Thirdly, walking or using transportation system rather than driving our own car is also one way that student can easily save energy and reduce pollution. It is difficult to protest driving one's car and have more convenient way to get to one's destination by driving our own car, but using transportation system helps a lot in saving the pollution of the Earth. In addition, UIUC serves the transportation system that goes around the campus to the marketplace and anywhere that the students are expected to go during the weekends. In other words, transportation is available to all students without any fees.

Regards to ways in promoting the environment clean, there are many other ways that we can engage in it. However, these three actions mentioned above could help to better serve our planet clean and also wil give us the notion of keeping the environment clean as we get used to it.
