5 ways to protect your world.

Be mindful with water

Recycle

Recycle what you buy and buy what can be easily recycled like glass jars, tin cans and paper.

one ton of glass saves the equivalent energy of 10 gallons of oil and recycling,
one ton of aluminium saves the equivalent energy of 2,350 gallons of gasoline.

one ton of paper saves about 4,100 kilowatt hours of electricity and 17 to 24 Trees.
