This is one of the most common things that people do whenever Earth Day rolls around, that is, switch off(关闭) their lights. 2. Conserve(节约) energy by switching off all power or electricity points whenever they are not in use. In addition, take out all the plugs from plug points even after switching them off.
2. 3.
Cars, being the greatest source of air pollution, can be left at home this weekend. 4. Other greener choices are carpooling, riding a bike or you can also walk if you want a healthier choice and if your workplace is not that far away from your home.

The future of our planet is in your hands!

to live in.

F. Below, we have made a list of things you can do to celebrate Earth Day.
G. However, this is not something you should do just for a day or for only an hour.
