20 ways for an eco lifeBy: Tatiana

Nowadays almost everyone is talking about an eco life and its principles as well about what exactly we could do to maintain the quality and the safety of our planet by saving its resources. Therefore we are frequently urged to not be selfish and start thinking at our successors and care about their future as we care about our present. Because we should not forget that our successors are our children, our relatives and our friends! We definitely prefer for our lives clean water, fresh air and green parks and forests … but remember that we all can contribute to achieve that!

Being eco is not as difficult as you may think. Everything starts with simple things, like turning off the light before you get out of the room, recycling and reusing objects or give them to the others if you do not use them anymore.I further present you 20 ways about how you could be “green”.
