Preserving the Environment in Daily Life

Too many people say they want to preserve their environment, yet barely recycle or don’t turn off a light when they leave a room. We could all be helping to preserve the environment for our and other's future. Our efforts to preserve the environment pale in comparison to the Hydrogen House, which should serve as an example of how help preserve the environment.
The article found in the database Proquest Research Library called “The Hydrogen House: Fueling a Dream” from The Environmental Magazine, speaks about the amazing tactics the Hydrogen House uses to help preserve the environment. The author,Janice Arenofsky, quotes the executive director of the Hydrogen Energy Center saying that, “ "Beaulieus House uses less energy, which means less need to collect it. Nothing is wasted. Each function is taken care of either by design or natural law."” We can all individually start taking steps to creating something like the Hydrogen House. More specifically the Hydron House helps preserve the environment by “ burning hydrogen for fuel cleans the air of pollen and gases better than forced air systems, says Beaulieus” and using “Only low-toxic, solvent-free adhesives and sealants, water-based floor finishes and stained concrete.” As individuals, we don't need to got as far as building a house that is totally efficient. To lower our individual impact on the environment, however, we can take some aspects of the Hydrogen House and use them in our our lives. But even by taking a few more steps to the recycling bin or picking up litter that you see on the ground, we can help in the effort.
FUTURE RESEARCH: Looking forward, I will definitely want to research whether people voluntarily change their daily lives to help preserve the environment or not.
