• You could use compact fluorescent light bulbs in the place of incandescent ones. The step would cut your energy bill. They also tend to last longer than standard light bulbs.
• Keep your air conditioner at moderate temperatures. The warmer you set your thermostat (in the summers) and the cooler you do it (in the winters), the lower will be your energy consumption and the corresponding costs.
• Go vegetarian this World Environment Day. Meat production utilized as much as 8 times energy as fruits and vegetables, generating a lot of environmental pollution.

• Make your laundry ecofriendly by using fabric softeners, detergents, and bleaches which leave a smaller carbon footprint.
• Try using right-sized pots on burners for cooking in order to save more gas or electricity.
• Do not leave your faucet running while you are brushing. Utilize a glass of water instead for the purpose.
• Reuse water where possible this World Environment Day. Wastewater from laundry, dishes, and showering can be utilized to water plants.
• Use the microwave oven more frequently for cooking. These devices use lesser energy than the traditional electric ovens and are fast and efficient.
• Get a solar power charger for your gadgets this World Environment Day.
