Ecology in Europe – how do you manifest your attitude towards the environment?

[Terry]

personally I avoid throwing on streets anything, I just put it into my pocket and wait until I find a bin.

[Andrewz]

I would be glad to contribute by passing to alternative energy, but it's too expensive. So I'm just trying to travel rarer by car

A pure ecology first of all starts from an ecological mind. The population must be educated in this sense. What I'm trying to do is discuss with every friend of mine about this problem and make him respect the nature and the environment. It should work as a chain - you teach someone, in turn he teaches another one etc.

[M.Helen]

You're right Benn, but you haven't mentioned what is the segment of population that must be taught.
It's firstly the persons under 18. They are the background of any society and the future of the country. Many adults are conservative and don't want changes.

Hey I replaced all simple light bulbs by economical light bulbs in my house. You can do the same, it's a step to show respect to ecology, isn't it?

[Faw_Peter]

Ecology depends on many many trifles which, if gather together, form a general pollution source. So it would be great if we pay attention to these details. For example, why wouldn't each person on the Earth plant a tree? Ok, not including children. But I think the number of trees will increase by appr. 1-2 billions, right?

[Steven]

Good idea, and if we plant one tree each month, this will mean 24 billion trees per year! The environment would be saved!

[M.Helen]

It sounds quite easy to be done, but I don't think this is possible in practical manner. I mean we already invented the International Day of Environment (don't remember exactly its date), but nobody cares about that.

[Benn]

It's actually called the World Environment Day. Read more here:

In fact I remember being in high school and we were obliged to go into fields once a year and to plant trees. So there are action towards to improve the ecology level.

Respect for nature and ecology should have every person in the world, we can not neglect the nature and beauty, believe that those people who did not think when throwing garbage on the streets and cut the trees on the road should be punished for the damage and dirt because of their. Through education that I have, through my behavior in public places I show my respect towards nature and ecology!!! We must take care of the planet on which we live and must keep clean and not pollute the environment !!!
