How to reduce your environmental impact?
Wednesday, 14 May 2008, Written by Trouni   
It is important to know how to protect oneself against pollution, but a protection as effective as it can be will never replace the need to reduce our emissions for the sake of the environment.
Pollution is a solvable issue. But when it comes to environmental matters, everyone has to take action. So, for those of you who decided not to wait here are some advices on how to reduce your environmental impact.

There are actually many things you can do and here is only a start:
  • Watch the film An Inconvenient Truth from Al Gore, it gives a general overview of the state of our planet,
  • Avoid using your car by walking, biking or taking mass transit wherever possible, you'll reduce your exposure to pollution as well as reducing your impact on the environment,
  • Think and live green (many other ideas here)
  • Talk around you and convince your friends to do the same!
