Environmental activists have to keep their minds sharp and encourage others to join them. Convincing knowledge and persuasive rhetoric are both critical to calling people to join in conservation efforts. Try to read environmental publications to keep up with relevant news, then share it with others. Post it to social media, your blog, or find other ways to tell people you know.  Reading about social relations, industrial infrastructure such as oil refineries, and alternatives to the present way of living are always helpful. Stay active with your efforts to increase the likelihood of other people reading what you post. paper and other goods in your home. Waste is one of the most pressing environmental issues. Every year countless amounts of used products go into landfills or end up in the environment. That doesn’t even include the energy sources used to make the items. Instead of putting everything in the trash, take your paper products, metal cans, glass, and other products to a recycling facility.  Many garbage removal services also offer recycling programs. Contact them for more information about how to participate. Another way to recycle is to buy products made from recycled materials. Also, get used products from secondhand stores instead of buying new. Farm animals take up a lot of resources and produce a lot of waste. This includes pesticides, hormones, and other nasty chemicals that get washed into lakes and rivers. You don’t have to eliminate these items from your diet, but try to substitute them on occasion for more fruits, vegetables, and grains.  Choose fruits and vegetables that aren’t treated with harmful pesticides. Some environmentalists choose to go vegetarian and stick to an organic diet. Learn about how you can care for the environment, and make an effort to do so. When you do eat meat and dairy, look for products without antibiotics or chemicals. Every environmentalist can tell you about the impact of fossil fuels. Every time you drive a car, you put more nasty car exhaust into the environment. Any transportation method that burns fuel contributes to air pollution and global warming. When you can, walk or ride a bike.  If walking or riding a bike isn’t an option, look for public transportation to reduce the number of cars on the road. Carpooling also helps. Buying locally also helps cut back on carbon dioxide released by transportation vehicles. Most people use way more water and electricity than they need. These energy sources take resources to refine, let alone how often they lead to more pollution. Always turn off your water supply and lights when they aren’t in use. Try to save excess water, such as water in your shower as you let it heat up, and find a use for it.  Avoid energy-heavy items like washers and dryers when possible. Wash and dry clothes by hand to save lots of water! Replace your appliances and light bulbs with energy-efficient versions. A lot of these items are eligible for rebates or tax incentives, depending on where you live. Another way to save energy is to install solar panels. You may even produce enough electricity this way to avoid dealing with the electrical company. Changing the world is a long-term commitment. At first, you may find out that not a lot of people listen to you or make changes to help your cause. The struggle against pollution is difficult, but even small efforts make a big difference. Remind yourself of all the good you have done by raising awareness.  Reading environmentalist literature can serve as a morale boost in addition to being a recruiting tool. When you feel discouraged, pull back and focus your energies on small tasks like recycling. These count, and by doing them you are already having an impact on the world.

If you don’t see this and you wind up back at the login screen, your computer may not be set up to boot from CD/DVD. Check the boot settings in the system BIOS.  If it’s still not booting from the disc, try burning a new disc on another system. Unless you have multiple operating systems and hard drives, you may only see one option.
