As you learned through our last mail, it is important for our environment that we immediately start saving or conserving our resources.
We want to give you a few ideas on how to share petroleum:
1. Petrol: By setting up car communities we can reduce fuel consumption and reduce the emission of pollution.
2. Heating oil: We can avoid the consumption of heating oil by switching to solar energy.
3. Clothes: Yes, there is petroleum in our clothes too! We could exchange our clothes with our brothers and sisters or at clothing exchanges with other people and therefore do not have to buy new clothes.
4. Tupperware: Tupperware can be exchanged at Tupperware parties with other people or, for example, our neighbours.
5. Cosmetic products: Shampoos, creams or body lotion could be shared within the family. If you use products with a neutral smell, you can also share these products with your brother and sister without any problems. As an example one shampoo is used instead of several within the family.
Our goal is reduce the consumption of petroleum and therefore keep the petroleum longer alive, by doing all these simple things, we can achieve this goal.
