Lesson 3 Planting trees helps replenish this natural resource. Advocating for a Healthy Environment How do trees benefit the environment? Turning off lights saves electricity. How else can you reduce electricity use in your home?

Lesson 3 In this lesson, you’ll learn to: Identify strategies for conserving resources, precycling, and recycling. Develop strategies for protecting the environment. Describe a variety of community and world environmental protection programs. Lesson Objectives

Lesson 3 Conservation Most natural resources don’t exist in an endless supply. Therefore, we need to conserve our natural resources.conserve The actions that you and your family take at home have an impact on the environment. Conserving Resources

Lesson 3 Heating and Cooling Conserving Resources Seal leaks around doors, windows, and electrical sockets to prevent heated or cooled air from escaping. Keep doors and windows shut, and close fireplace vents when the fireplace is not in use. During heating season, wear an extra layer of clothing instead of turning up the thermostat. Keep the thermostat at about 78°F during air-conditioning season. Use a fan to keep the air circulating.

Lesson 3 Water Conservation Conserving Resources Wash clothes in warm or cold, not hot, water. Accumulate a full load before washing laundry or running the dishwasher. Fix leaky faucets, and never let water run unnecessarily. If you have a large-capacity toilet tank, fill plastic bottles with water, seal them, and place them in the tank. The bottles will keep the tank from filling completely, which will save up to a gallon of water per flush.

Lesson 3 Conserving Resources Lighting and Appliances Replace traditional lightbulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. Switch off lights when you leave a room. Turn off televisions, radios, computers, and other appliances when they are not in use. Use a microwave or toaster oven instead of a conventional oven when cooking a small amount of food. Don’t preheat a conventional oven for longer than necessary. Avoid opening the oven door unnecessarily while the appliance is in use.

Lesson 3 Ways of Conserving Natural Resources Precycling and Recycling Programs The easiest, most cost-efficient way of conserving natural resources is reducing the quantity of waste. PrecyclingPrecycling and recycling are two ways of accomplishing this goal.recycling

Lesson 3 Precycling Reduce your use of products that are used once and then discarded. Purchase products in bulk or in the largest package appropriate for your use to reduce excess packaging. Buying products such as laundry detergent or fruit juice as concentrates also reduces packaging. Choose products designed to be recycled. Precycling and Recycling Programs

Lesson 3 Precyclying–Reusing Materials Precycling also involves reusing materials. Reusing paper or plastic shopping bags or carrying your own cloth bags is a form of precycling. So is donating unneeded household goods or clothing to charities instead of discarding them. Precycling and Recycling Programs

Lesson 3 Recycling Recycling conserves resources. Both energy and raw materials are conserved by recycling. Recycling reduces reliance on landfills. Landfill space is limited, and it cannot keep up with increasing demands. Recycling protects environmental health. Recycling utilizes materials that might otherwise harm the environment if disposed of in landfills. Precycling and Recycling Programs Click image to view movie.

Lesson 3 Tips for Recycling and Reducing Waste Precycling and Recycling Programs Aluminum: Rinse cans and other aluminum items. Crush them to save space. Cardboard: Flatten cardboard boxes and tie them together. Glass: Rinse all glass containers. Recycle metal lids separately. Plastics: Look for the code on the container. Newspaper: Stack newspapers and tie the bundles with string or rope, or place the papers in paper shopping bags for easy handling. Glossy Paper: Contact services that help you remove your name from mailing lists.

Lesson 3 Becoming Involved in Protecting the Environment Protecting the Environment Become an informed consumer. Take action against local polluters. Contact organizations that promote the conservation of resources and educate people on environmental issues.
