Environment

Environment saving..........

This being my first blog, I am trying to present my thoughts in a crisp manner.....I would like to dedicate this blog to Environment .........

Its the need of the time that we start thinking about our environment...As the proverb goes "Charity begins at home", likewise we can build small steps starting from home. Encouraging a small joint nursery thus saving water and by keeping our surroundings clean. Car pooling is another idea. Lots of Corporates are encouraging their employees by holding contest to appreciate activities leading to saving of nature.

Its a matter of habit and a feeling of sense of responsibility. I remember when mobile was introduced in the market and when I bought one I was not habituated. But as I started using it frequently, I started feeling helpless without it. It had become a part of me - a habit. I decided to habituate myself with such small nature saving activities. I always see to it that I dont discard any trash on the road. Let it be a bus ticket too for that matter. Either I carry the trash at home or hunt for a public dustbin: remember dustbins "Use me". When I travel in public places I keep my mobile on silent mode. Or else keep the tone minimum so that its only me who understands about an incoming call. When I am travelling with an acqauintance, I tend to persuade the individual from continuous honking esp in case of heavy traffic jam. And also to shut down the engine when not in motion for a long time.

When leaving my office at the end of the day I shut down the main connection of my PC. At home too use electricity in rooms where needed. When charging mobiles we use a three pin plug socket where two mobiles can be charged at a time. At home we sit in one room if all of us are reading or for that matter doing an activity which can be done by sitting in the common room.

The above steps are simple. I have started realizing the importance of such habits esp when I see my friend / family member / a bypasser suffering from Aasthama or running nose due to dust pollution , car engine emissions pollution, noise pollution, the recent delay in rains, .....it triggers small steps at my level....
