Ecological Tip:

Avoid prolonged exposure to solar rays.
Use sun block in summer and eventually during sunny days, this involves always having some sun block near.
If you have outdoor activities daily, besides sun block you have to use a cap and long sleeved clothes. If you do such activities with several people give them the same tip.
Avoid using aerosol products, if you are going to buy an air freshener make sure that is indicated that it does not damages the ozone layer. We are already living the consequences.
