RECYCLE & SAVE WORLD

Save the environment. But how? Well, this is not as complicated a task as it seems to be. There are a few simple things that you can do for the same.

Start cutting down on the amount of waste that you create. Whether it is food, packing, making something or any other thing, make sure that you have minimum waste to look after.

Reduce the amount of water you use. There are so many simple ways of doing so like closing the taps each time, using water sprinklers instead of hosepipe or washing the car weekly instead of doing it daily.

Think carefully before using paper. Do you really need to print that mail? Do you really need sticky notes for everything? Do you need to write down everything on paper? Perhaps not!

Stop using plastic. There is no reason for you to use plastic bags when you have environment friendly options like jute bags and paper bags. Take your bag along every time you go shopping and do not ask for plastic bags.

Rely more on technology. You could opt for a video conference instead of spending fuel to travel all the way for a meeting. You could make your diary on your PC instead of writing down everything on paper. This way you will be able to save a lot on natural resources.

Give your car a break. There is no need for you to take your car everywhere. You can switch to public transport or even consider walking if you need to travel a short distance. This will not just save the environment but your money too.

Recycle is the word if you wish to save the environment. No matter what it is, try to recycle it in the best manner possible. You can recycle glass, paper, cans, cardboard, cloth and everything else. This reduces wastage and helps save the environment.

Stop putting your electrical appliances on standby. It is always better to switch off the appliances when they are not in use. Even when your electrical appliances are on standby, they do consume some energy. This goes for your television, computer, video game consoles and everything else.

You can minimize the use of the heater during the winter season. Cover yourself up with more warm clothes and you will not find the need to switch on the heater so often. Put on the jumper suit or wear more layers of cloths and you are sure to stay warm.

There are others ways of entertainment and recreation than watching TV or playing videogames. You can go for a walk, play an outdoor sport or simply read a book. This way you will not just save electricity but will also be able to do something more productive.

Try these simple and easy things and you will surely do a great deal in saving the environment.

There is no denying the importance of trees. They are important to maintain the ecological balance and an important source of energy. But over the years, several commercial activities have lead to deforestation at a massive scale. The result, we all know, is less forest cover and a poor ecological balance. So, if you wish to save the earth and the environment, it is high time you start planting more trees right away.

 

Plants and trees are intimately connected with our life and well-being. It boons and benefits derived from them are too many to count. They provide shelter, food, fruits, fodder, wood, timber, medicine, oxygen; check soil- erosion, pollution and floods. They also check very effectively the spread of the desert and landslides. They are essential to maintain ecological balance and preservation of fauna. "Plant More Trees ' should not remain a mere slogan but become a religion and creed with all to us. We all should plant and grow more and more trees, and protect them. Social forestry should be taken on a large scale, and trees grown all around where there is space to them. Trees add to the quality to our life and living. Without trees and forests there would be deserts and desolation all around us.
