WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY...TO DO LIST....!!!


The United Nations dedicated a day to celebrate the world environment. But what exactly can we do on this day other than remembering that the earth is slowly succumbing to the effects of global warming. Before we get on our knees, its time we rise above the problem. Here are a few small things that you can do to make a big difference.


**Avoid shopping things you do not need
**Make use of car pools. Use public transport more often
**Prevent water wastage

**Lower use of air conditioners
**Follow the three R's. Recycle, Reuse and Refuse
**Buy eco-friendly things
**Save electricity

**Plant a Tree
**Avoid wasting stationery
**Avoid littering. Use dust-bins
**Separate garbage

**Say no to using and exchanging polythene bags
**Be a part of an anti global warming drive in your city, town or may be block or atleast in your own home
**Think Human, Help Earth..!!!


Anything that affects nature will inevitably affect us. The better we treat Mother Nature the happier we will be. You do not need to be a part of a big group to save the environment. Every individual can make a difference in small but important ways. You can play a vital role in the chain of events right from home, school or work. Celebrate World Environment Day with gusto, everyday. Begin your natural combat today!

BAN PLASTIC, SAVE WORLD..!!!



Its the place we live, its the air we breathe. without it we can never survive in this world. Its a beauty, Its life, Its everything. But the saddest truth is that we never care for it. Even after hearing so much about Global warming and the Hurricanes in the future....but we still dont care...we still live in the AC's that blow out CFC's, we still use plastics that harm the world the worst, we still cut off trees, we still increase pollution, we still are careless....amongst all, the use of plastics are the worst part of increasing harm t the Planet Earth...!!!

Protecting environment is everybody's business – we must take the initiative and put our foot down when we come across anyone who is flouting the norms. Formulating regulations and not being able to implement them is not what is required. If plastic bags are to be banned, let there be no limits laid down for thickness. A ban is a ban and is to be enforced. Those that churn out this poison must be taken to task. There again, they usually are those who have hit upon a novel business, their earnings go to feed the family. Therefore, they must be provided with alternative means of earning.

Then there are the throwaway plastic cups and glasses that one sees in the railways. Water in plastic pouches are served with food in trains.
Mention must also be made of bottled water – some of the containers should fall in the banned category. Earthen containers to serve tea could have been a better substitute – these could be more costly but the additional financial burden would be borne by the travelers if it is forced upon them.
After all, a cup of tea costs must more outside than that in the train. Similar earthen containers could be used in those dispensers that sell cold drinks – if the containers are painted, the youngsters would not even notice.

In order to popularize these, some film celebrity could be roped in to say that he (or she) drinks only from such containers.
Taking it a step further , in order to make a point, these containers could have numbers printed on the bottom – users could be given rewards for accumulating so many points and claim their gifts.
Such advertisements would certainly wean away the youngsters from plastic cups; they fall for new twists very easily.

Atleast, you start not using plastic from today. Try n use cloth bags or paper bags, instead of polythene covers. Lets together ban plastic to save our place, our city, our country, our world...!!!
