Answer:
1. Water the garden early in the morning or late in the evening. This reduces water loss due to evaporation. Don’t over-water the garden. Water only until the soil becomes moist, not soggy.
2. Don't use chemicals in the garden - as they will eventually end up in the water systems and can upset the delicate balance of lifecycles.
3. Plant local species of trees, flowers and vegetables.
4. Bring your own bags to the grocery and refuse the plastic bags that create so much waste.
5. Look for products that have less packaging.
6. Switch off computer monitors, printers and other equipment at the end of each day. Though in standby mode they're still using power - and that adds to global warming. Always turn off your office light and computer monitor when you go out for lunch or to a meeting.
7. Use public transport, cycle or walk instead of using a car.
8. Don't be tempted to touch wildlife and disturb habitats whether on land, at the coast or under water.
9. Always use both sides of a sheet of paper.
10. Give unwanted clothes, toys and books to charities and orphanages.
11. Store food and other products in containers rather than foil and plastic wrap
