23. Hand over the bottles

In general, this simple procedure reduces air pollution by 20% and halves water pollution. You can find out where the reception points are located on the website.

24. Do not throw away used batteries

Batteries contain a variety of metals, including mercury, lead, cadmium, nickel, copper, zinc, magnesium and lithium. If we throw them away with ordinary rubbish, they all end up in the soil. One battery pollutes 20 m² of land. Place a trash can at home for batteries, and when it is full, hand them over.

25. Dispose of equipment

In your pursuit of technical innovations, do not forget to properly dispose of obsolete models. If, for example, you cannot sell your old phone, hand it over to a specialized collection point.

26. Go digital

Don’t buy movies on DVDs: discs are made of plastic, which is not easily biodegradable. But there is no need to give up entertainment at all: you can legally watch a movie in good quality on the Internet. ITunes and many Internet cinemas will help you.

27. Buy recyclable goods

This saves both raw materials and energy, and also reduces the amount of waste on the planet. Look for the appropriate mark on the packaging.

28. Save dishes

At picnics, for example, disposable tableware helps out, but it’s still preferable to use paper over plastic cups and plates. In addition, try to save them. Remember how often you took a clean glass at a party because you don’t know where you put yours.

29. Potty train your child

One baby takes five to eight thousand diapers, which corresponds to 3.5 tons of garbage, which is very poorly processed. Don’t give up on them – just speed up the process of potty training.
