Go Green. Contribute in small ways in everyday life.
Posted on April 20th, 2009 2 commentsProvided below are some ways that all of us can contribute to a greener environment in our everyday lives.
1. All the green waste from kitchen can be collected and used as excellent fertilizer for pots or kitchen garden.
2. Envelopes from post : After opening and reading the letter, the envelop can be cut open fully; made to smaller sizes to write todo list or kids can practice tables, spellings etc. This is surely a way to teach kids about re-cycling, instead of giving to raddiwala. Sure we save 1 tree per year by doing this.
3. Do not wash Jeans so often.
4. Use Solar cooker - it’s excellent! By doing this the production, packing, transportation, storage etc of a cylinder is saved to a good extent.
5. Do not leave tap running while brushing your teeth.
6. Switch of all the unnecessary lights.
7. Use Solar energy for water heating.
8. Rain water harvesting - another GO GREEN idea. In India, this has been made mandatory now.
9. It is a pity that TONS and TONS of garbage gets collected each day and just taken to outskirts of the city and burnt. This has a serious impact to the environment. Instead of just burning, same can be used to generate energy.
10. Unplug Microwave, TV (not standby), TapeRecorders, VCR etc at the end of the day
