We,the fruit of the 21st century,are effortless wasters.Tats a misapplication,coz by sayin effortless,it is implied that effort has to be taken by somebody to do the same task.NO,nobody alive today is a non-waster!!
We waste mindlessly and carelessly!Can't blame us right,we get everything we want wid the snap of our finger that there is no value for anything around us anymore.Look at me!I cannot for God's sake finish everything in my plate.I have to leave it half full always by the time I finish my meal,be it even at gun point!But do I for even a micro fraction of a second feel guilty [You got to be kiddin me] ofcourse not. I leave the air conditioner switched on 24 * 7 and mind you,in a room I know very well I will not enter for the next 18 hours or so!!!And the list goes on.The sad thing is,I'm not the only black sheep around!
Oh oh!Bad news for Mother Earth!She is being brutally,savagely and inhumanely exploited by billions of us everyday,every hour and every second!HELP!!
Take a decision this EARTH DAY [I have,hope you do too ] - SAVE YOUR PLANET,save your home for your kids and grandkids.
Here are 5 easy ways to cut down on your share of torturing our Mother
1.DON'T WASTE FOOD. How simple is it to refrain from filling your plate,when you know you cannot dump all that stuff into your tummy!
Fact : Food researchers and analysts have concluded that,with the continuously declining food resources,by 2050 half of the world will be left with just one meal a day!
2.STORE RAIN WATER.This mannah from heaven has to be stored!The day is not far,when we will be left saying - "Water,water everywhere but not a drop to drink!"
Take a look at this pic!
That brings me to the next one,
3.DON'T DUMP GARBAGE EVERYWHERE.It may be as small as your chocolate wrapper but remember there are a billion wrappers out there!
4.SAVE ELECTRICITY.Switch off appliances if you know you will not be using them for over 30 minutes.Unplug your cell phone chargers,hair dryers,laptops etc,they are electricity suckers!They suck up tons of energy even when they are switched off and plugged!
5.SWITCH OFF YOUR ENGINES when you are stuck in traffic for more than 5 minutes.It saves you your cash too![That's a bonus!:) ]
Go ahead take your decision today.Try to incorporate these simple tasks in your life [ yeah,I agree it is indeed a herculean task for us born-wasters! ] But,after all we have but one Earth to live in!!Do take that extra step!
I have another suggestion!
ReplyDeleteIt is not enough to conserve rain water alone. Most of us spend an inordinate amount of time on our pearly whites to keep them... ahem pearly and white. Therefore while brushing or flossing we tend to keep the tap running. Studies have shown that gallons of precious water is wasted this way and it does little to improve the lustre of the smile. Simply remembering to turn off the tap while brushing can make a difference. So everyone go ahead and make a difference. Cheers!
Tats a gud one Anuja...infact,I myself waste hell a lot of water tat way!!!!I shall 'member to turn off my taps:)
