One should plant some trees, shrubs or flowering plants in their yards and then take care of that. Plastic bags should be avoided while shopping instead of it paper bags should be used. Garbage should be properly disposed off instead of throwing on road sides or in rivers. Recycling is very important for keeping Earth clean.
