How do you, one person among the billions living on the planet, impact the environment? The land can be polluted by household waste and industrial waste. In 2010, Americans produced approximately 250 million tons of trash, including product packaging, grass clippings, furniture, clothing, bottles, food scraps, newspapers, appliances, paint and batteries. That equates to about 4.3 pounds of waste per person per day, according to the EPA. Many people believe that going green means having to change their entire lifestyle to something totally strange and uncomfortable for them. This is not true at all, it just depends on how much you care about the environment and how much you are willing to do. There are many simple ways to use fewer resources without doing any real harm to your lifestyle. You can start by replacing your lights with more efficient LED bulbs. By replacing a normal light bulb with a fluorescent one, the reduction in pollution would be equivalent to eliminating one million cars. And if you don't like the color of the lights, you could just replace the closet and laundry room lights where it wouldn't frustrate you so much. Recycling glass and aluminum is another important and relatively easy thing to do. Recycled glass reduces air pollution by about 20% and water pollution by about 50%. Each ton of recycled glass saves the equivalent of nine gallons of fuel needed for production
