How to save the world!

So you want to save the planet but you you're a little lazy right now. Okay, a lot lazy. That's okay, for today. Here are five lazy ways to help save the planet - and therefore a cute little polar bear, and a beautiful butterfly and maybe a tree in the Amazon. Really, everything is linked, so no matter how small your contribution, it is still a valid contribution. But, obviously, the less lazy we are the better it is for the planet. So kick lethargy in the butt - even if it's only tomorrow - and let's save the world!

Turn off the lights - I used to get so annoyed when people told me to turn off the lights; I really had no idea how it would make that much of a difference. But it does. Aside from saving energy, it also saves you money. So please, for the sake of Antarctica, turn off your lights when you're not using them.

Stand by - Probably the two most useless words of the twenty first century. Seriously, nothing needs to be on stand by. If your electronic device doesn't need to be on, turn it off. Completely. By the way, that whole thing about turning your devices on and off over and over again being bad for them is rubbish. So, please, for the sake of the Amazon, skip stand by. Turn it off!

Recycle - Recycling does require a little more effort, but really, when you get into the swing of things, it becomes a lot easier. Separate your glass, plastic and paper and then pop them into your area's nearest recycling bin. It takes a few minute, but it really doses make a massive difference to the planet you're living on. With cute little panda bears and baby tigers.

Catch the bus... - ...Or the train, or ride a bicycle. Public transport cuts out carbon emissions and, although it may not seem like it, really makes a massive difference. Plus, you can read your favourite book or catch a snooze!
