Here are 10 simple ways you can do to help save the environment. They’re so simple that anyone can do it.  And to make it more interesting, you can assign points to each activity.  Invite your family and friends, and make a tally of your activities.  In the end, compare your points.  You can also give rewards to the person with the most points.
