Africans have discovered a plant that is a major source of energy. Previously considered a worthless shrub, it is now known as Jatropha Curcas, the Cinderella plant. Studies have shown that Jatropha oil burns with a fifth of the carbon emissions of fossil fuels. What can we do to protect our environment?

First of all, recycling could prove to be an interesting solution. This can be defined as the reprocessing of materials into new products. Recycling prevents the waste of useful material resources, reduces the consumption of raw materials as well as energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

The International Paper Company’s statement said that “if everyone recycled their newspaper every day, it would save 41,000 trees.” People could also start recycling clothes into textiles. This type of recycling is moving from developed countries like the UK to developing countries. The desired order for environmental sustainability needs to be deeply rooted. Reduce recycling and reuse.

Another simple way to protect the environment is to switch from incandescent to LED light bulbs. This attitude could be adopted by everyone and it’s a simple way. Light consumes up to 20% of the world’s electricity, the equivalent of about 600,000 tonnes of coal a day.

In the light of the means mentioned above, it becomes clear to us that if we really want to preserve our environment, we surely can. We must act quickly to protect our daily lives and our future.
