GEM invites to add small actions to combat climate change >>>

#EstadoDeMéxico.- In order to promote education and awareness about the fight against climate change, the Government of the State of Mexico, through the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (SMAyDS), shares some actions that can be performed at home to reduce damage to the environment.

In the framework of the International Day against Climate Change to be commemorated next October 24, the state agency recommends to save energy by changing light bulbs to LED bulbs that are more efficient and last longer; disconnect all appliances, even when not in use, and in case of having heating and air conditioning, regulate them to maintain a moderate temperature.

To save water, it is important to reduce shower time; reuse water, for example, water from washing fruits and vegetables can be used to water plants; and repair leaks in faucets, pipes and bathroom and kitchen fixtures.

The Secretary of the Environment points out that the “3 R’s”, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, should be applied; buy less and before acquiring something new, ask yourself if you really need it; or buy second hand products, reducing the demand for new products, in this way you also save money.

You can also repair many things, instead of throwing away something broken or decomposed; to recycle correctly, separate waste so that it can be recycled and avoid plastic by using cloth bags, reusable bottles and bulk products.
