Do you know that we are one of the few nations on this earth who can count on our water being clean and safe yet we are extravagant with our water and wasteful.

Install a water-saving shower head
Set your water heater at 130 degrees
Are you using water to clean your driveway instead of a broom?

Try to reduce the amount of waste you produce. Are you recycling everything you can?
Newspapers, cans, glass bottles and jars, aluminum foil, motor oil, scrap metal, etc. Aluminum cans are doubly important because of the bauxite mining used to produce them

Once you have become aware of the treasures we are losing each day, tell others. 
Convert them by example – encourage your family, friends, and neighbors to save resources too.
Learn about conservation issues in your community or state. Write your legislators and let them know you do not tolerate practices that destroy the rainforest...
Teach children to respect nature and the environment. Take them on hikes, or camping. Help them plant a tree or build a birdhouse. Help restore damaged ecosystems by planting trees on land where forests have been cut down.
Support companies who operate in ways that minimize damage to the environment.
Join a conservation organization and volunteer your time to conservation projects
Donate money to conservation projects
Support human rights of indigenous peoples in the rainforests.

The more we know about a subject (the rainforests) the more we care about them and the harder we will work to protect them.
One of the best things you can do to save the rain forests of this world is to learn all you can about them. Learn what they contain, how important they are to us and what is happening them. Then share what you learn with your friends and family. Tell them about the wonderful gifts of the rain forest. Tell them about the amazing plants and animals that live there. Tell them how important rainforests are to our planet.
