12 Ways to Help the Environment

Avoid sending chemicals into waterways: Chemicals are often disposed of through a drainage system that leads to rivers, lakes, or oceans. Using non-toxic chemicals for things like cleaning will help protect the environment.Ride a bike: Instead of driving your car a few minutes down the road to the store or maybe even to work, you should consider riding your bike. Biking produces no carbon emissions and does not rely on gas or oil, so it's a better option for the environment.
