CSA Group Environmental Tips
Tip 1: Reduce Water Consumption and Your Water Footprint
Water is the driving force of all nature, and we cannot survive without it. We could save more water and reduce our water footprint[1] by:

Tip 2: Sort Household Waste
Sorting household waste is a key to waste management efficiency for recycling and reusing household products, such as newspaper and water bottles that can be made into other products. Other household waste can be composted or sorted for further treatment and disposal, helping to reduce or eliminate hazardous pollutants.
CSA Group urges individuals and business to embrace waste sorting practice so as to carry on the tradition of "reduce, re-use and recycle" through generations. Sorting waste contributes to a more efficient waste management process and helps to stimulate the development of green technologies.
Tip 3: Save Electricity
Tip 4: Say No to Single-Use/Disposable Products
