1. For all things that u can - stop postal(paper) mails and get online bills/receipts etc
2. switch of lights when not in use- u save electricity bill too, that way!
3. Don't let the wat run frm the tap whn ur brushing/ scrubbing utensils ets. Saves plenty of water!
4. Use public transport whenever and wherever feasible

(i cld write so many more...but will stop n give others a turn!

Recycle should be the key.

1. Never leave the pc - laptop - tv on standby mode. It consumes more enery that way.

2. Use jute products.

3. Use public transport.

4. Planting trees.

%. Chuck plastic.

There's so much more that can be done..

One thing tht i wud definitely like to add is practice wht u preach!I remember when i was in college i used to always stop my friends from throwing anything outside while traveling in train. I used to take the wrapper or any other thing they had to throw and wait till i reached the next station to throw it away in the dust bin. And after a while they actually started doin it themselves. It cant b done wth everybody but close ones will definitely understand. Another thing is to switch of the PC or Laptop when not in use...most of the ppl keep it in the standby mode but tht also consumes electricity never the less! And hey my office is also celebrating the Environment Week and today there were no dust bins around to encourage ppl to minimize waste. :) Happy Environment Day to all of u!

1. Don't take printouts just for the heck of it. If you have to, print on both sides.

2. Don't use the regular wooden pencils (after all the wood does come from trees that have to be cut down!) just use the kinds where u can refill the lead.

3. Take your own shopping bags (I did yesterday, yayy!)

4. Plant drought resistant trees, the kinds that do not need much water, and yet provide the much needed greenery.

5. Try not to use plastic water bottles, use reusable containers.

6. If you HAVE to use all that plastic, and HAVE to throw it, please throw them in the recycle bin! paper, plastic, glass and metal can all be recycled.

Aarti, Ria, Mia & Aneri.. Thankx a ton for those wonderful suggestions..

Pri said...

well my 3 suggestions should be:

1)dont use plastic bags and other non-biodegradable stuff wherever not necessary...
2)quit smoking and unnecessary use of automobiles and vehicles --this way u can keep the environment healthier...
3)this might be a lil inconvenient but try to plant trees or grow plants around u...
