To be a Responsible Human-Being is not Dearer Now, see how.

To be a Responsible Human-Being is not Dearer Now, see how…

Things that we can afford to do...

• Grow plants at flats in small bowls and pots – would hardly cost 150 rupees (depending on the types of plants we chose, if we chose Sycas, it would be three thousand rupees of course JJ )

• During summer, place a bowl of water on terrace - for birds. One Litre a day, in severe drought areas, its difficult. But, in cities – its just nothing. Just a drop in the Ocean of water we waste everyday.
• Ensure water taps at home are working properly. If not, get them repaired. This small amounts of water leaks might look simple to our eyes, but there are places where getting a jug of water is difficult and if we ignore now, the entire world is going to be like that in near future. (Small Savings Scheme – very effective)
• Ensure electrical appliances are turned off when they are not in use. THE ENERGY YOU SAVE IS THE ENERGY YOU GENERATE.
• Avoid plastic usage to the best possible extent and use jute bags instead.
• While going for shopping, carry your own bag to avoid unnecessary use of plastic. We are producing metric tons of plastic waste everyday (refer to the following link http://igreenthink.wordpress.com/ ).

These entire things cost nothing, but a little time of yours. It’s an investment you make for the better living of your next Generation.

Few things may be we can try to do:

• For smaller distances, avoid using your motor vehicles. Just like for bringing milk packets, prefer to go by walk. This is a small contribution to Environment but multifold when we consider the total number of rides you save over a period of time. Here, you save on Air Pollution and Fuel Consumption besides keeping yourself fitJJ.

• Try using Public transport for your daily use, if possible and if it suits your profile.

• If you use a car for only one person (that’s you), try with a bike and be proud that you are contributing for the well-being of our next generation.

• Use Solar Power for electric appliances, if you can afford to. Solar Energy, if we don’t use, would go waste everyday. Let’s try making full use of it.

• Water Harvesting Pits: A very effective method to improve ground water levels. If you have an individual house, plan to have at least one pit for water harvesting. It helps very effectively in managing rain water to efficient use.

Let’s bring back the beauty of Earth and try to make it a Heaven of Beauties….
