Poor …. us….. dependent ……. never wants to be independent!!!!!

How much dependent we are in the new era!!!!

  1. We drink water…. by cooling it…. using refrigerator. In that coolant/refrigerants CFCs and HCFCs are used, also creates polluting effect. Ultimately, helps in depleting ozone layer, safety lid for us from harmful sun rays, a sieve like tool. Can’t we drink simple pot cool water?
  2. We use various fuels in cooking food. These are the extractions only from the environment, thus going at the verge of scarcity. Likewise, the threat of rising temperature is increasing day by day. Think about traditional coal stove and gas stove are replaced by solar panels. As the heat and harmful rays from the sun are more these days, due to ozone layer depletion. So, utilizing that exempts use of coal, reduction in emissions, thus balance our own environment. Use of public transport and sharing cab and car towards a common place will also be beneficial to the environment.
  3. Again, we use fuels for vehicles. These fuels also do the same behaviour with the environment. Against petrol and diesel driven vehicles, we can use bicycles, solar energy driven vehicles etc. CNG is the revolution which is conquering the world of vehicles. Few biofuels are also under manufacture.
  4. Without hunger, we eat lots of eatables, but processed. The lengthy the processing of food, it requires lots of water and other natural resources. Go for vegetarian food. Non-veg foods require more processing. Hence, eat food in a natural condition and way. It will be good for our health and mother earth’s health as well.
  5. Prefer local products. Don’t make choices of imported one. Thus, it will reduce the transportation cost, ultimately helps in reducing the extra cost of any product. It will be in affordable range for different types of people. Simultaneously, it will encourage local artisan, farmers to grow quality things.
  6. All the plastics and inorganic packaging and things cause a lot damaging impact on environment. So, simply say “NO” to these. Carry your own bag and bottle to avoid these extras.
  7. Promote 3 R’s concept. Reduce waste, Reuse as much as you can and if not possible, give the waste into Recycle.
  8. Use kitchen garbage in making compost, by using vermi-culture technology. That compost can be used in growing kitchen garden for fresh veggies, fruits for your family and lovely flowers for your exteriors and interiors.

Value the nature. People depend on this nature for the variety of benefits to their well being, from utilizing basic resources- clean water to drink, fresh food to eat, fertile soil to grow, clean air to inhale and many more. We should interact more with nature that affirm and enrich our place in the world to recreate, play and take wonder in life. Devaluing of this may lead to fierce results. Among the dealiest and the weirdest aftermaths of the environmental degradation are harm caused to the fellow creatures, mostly birds. Be caretakers of these today and be the messiahs of tomorrow. These things gift the next generation a sustainable environment to enjoy. Everything is linked, so don’t try to break the link/chain.

Get climate conscious. Nature is an asset we must all value and protect. Green our surroundings.
