To help save water you can leave buckets outside if you know it will rain. The water collected can be used to water the plants when next you need to. You can avoid taking baths and take short showers instead, turn off the tap whilst brushing your teeth and do not flushing every time you use the toilet unless you need to. Only flush toilet paper as baby wipes use plenty of cotton which is not found in toilet paper. If you want to save milk try this: once you have finished your cereal but still have milk left, leave it there instead of drinking it and you already have something for your next bowl. Have leftovers to reduce waste. To save energy, you can use LED light bulbs. You can turn the heating down and wear a jumper and put a lid on your saucepan so that the heat stays inside. You could also use a drought stopper in winter to keep nasty chills away. To reduce transport fumes you can take trips locally, take public transport, your bike/skateboard or your own two feat. Recycle, metals, plastic and glass, reduce your carbon footprint by shopping locally and using less paper and reuse broken and/or old things by fixing them. You can also reuse plastic bottles by turning them into plastic bottles or search up "What can I make out of a plastic bottle?" You could buy things that have been made sustainably such as a pencil-case made out of sweet wrappers. You can plant lots/more flowers in your garden to help bees. Avoid using pesticide on plants as it makes many hidden effects on animals. You can encourage wildlife in your garden by making bug-hotels or birdhouses.
