Steemit Engagement Challenge Season2 #week2 | Markdown Style Contest : Show your activities in protecting the environment - Maintaining a Clean Environment by @sikan-eyen

Cleanliness is the condition of being free from litter and any unnecessary thing that constitutes nuisance to the environment and the sustenance & maintenance of the earth.

Cleanliness and maintenance of the environment is important as it covers not only just our personal hygiene, but all the activities we engage with in our day - to- day activities, when we are at home,on the road, at our place of work, at social gatherings and in public places generally.

A clean environment is the secret to the survival of life on the planet, this is pertinent to note.

As an individual, i indulge in quite a number of activities to sustain the environment and the planet as a whole.

Some of these activities are displayed below:

📌 I PUT OFF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES WHEN NOT IN USE;

📌I REUSE PLASTIC BAGS INSTEAD OF DISPOSING THEM AT DUMP SITES;

📌I TOGETHER WITH OTHER MEMBERS CLEARED UP THE POTHOLED FLOODED ROADS;

📌 I GIVE OUT NON-BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS TO RECYCLE VENDORS INSTEAD OF BURNING THEM;

📌DAILY SANITATION OF MY IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT;

• I reduce my usage of electrical appliances as a way of conserving energy by switching off all electrical appliances when not in use.

Before leaving for work, i switch off electrical appliances & equipments and urge other members of my family to do same as electricity could be restored while no one is at home.

Also, while at home and using electricity, i switch off the ones i am not using at the moment.

Many families in recent times have taken to using of solar energy.

All these is very efficient and environment friendly.

• I get to buy sachet water almost every week, this sachet water comes in a plastic bag. Instead of disposing this plastic bags away after use, i keep them to re-use for other purposes.

• As i said, i ensure my surroundings is neat and tidied up, i joined other youths at church to cover up some potholes leading to the church entrance.

Keeping the environment clean is such a fun activity afterall.

• Non-biodegradable materials such as paper, nylon, plastic, bottles are quick to accumulate within the household, instead of burning them up to ashes as i did in the past, i now give them out to recycle vendors who recycle these waste products in recycling companies.

This single act prevents air pollution that would have been accumulated and gathered up on burning these products.

• Every day, i tidy my immediate environment by sweeping and dusting, afterall, a clean environment is health.

• Reduction of carbon footprints is essential to protecting the environment.

I reduce carbon footprints by washing dishes manually and not with machines, using energy bulbs to conserve energy, avoiding water wastage, and lowering the temperature of my water heater.

I plant crops locally too, this is the photo of a potato plant i planted.
