13 Aug Environmental Awareness is Everyone’s Responsibility
Environmental awareness and doing your part in the daily activities you perform is critical for success. It is an integral part of the movement’s success.
It must be integrated as a part of every job function you perform because one major incident can harm both the environment and your business.
By teaching our friends and family that the physical environment is fragile and indispensable, we can begin fixing the problems that threaten it.
Your Responsibility
Pollution prevention is essential when maintaining a healthy environment by reducing emissions, discharges, and disposals. There are specific rules and regulations regarding the amount and types of emissions, discharges, and disposals a facility is permitted.
It is your responsibility to understand and/or educate others regarding the physical and chemical properties of the materials you handle.
“Proper environmental practices not only concern how materials are disposed, but also involve the natural resources and utilities we use.”
Environmental awareness and pollution prevention should also be integrated into your off-the-job activities.
Ways to increase your environmental awareness and prevent pollution on-the-job and at home:
- Follow established procedures
- Understand and respect potential hazards
- Recycle whenever possible
- Properly dispose of materials
- Converse energy and natural resources
Numerous resources are available to promote environmental awareness. These resources can include group learning, information and inspirational seminars, and environmental books and brochures.
Make a Difference
Continue your role by reviewing online courses and other resources. After you become environmentally aware you can begin teaching those around you.
After your decision is made to become environmental aware, you then should begin explaining its importance and urgency to your community, friends, and family, create beneficial communal projects and find more causes to become apart of.
