Some Green Living Tips |
|---|
|
There are number of ways to make our habit green and contribute towards the conservation of environment. Some of these can be read in Ambassador report as well. Some are related to our habits some are related to adoption of new technologies or the modified one and some needs little bit of our extra effort.
We must switch off the Fan and lights when we are not using them. This will help to save energy. And Saving energy means producing energy. Likewise, as far as possible we ought to avoid the use of AC and use fan instead. Its always better to use handkerchief instead of tissues papers. Carrying our own water bottles. This will reduce habit of buying water bottles. This will deduce the wastes of plastic garbage. Also carrying our own bag and discouraging the use of plastics while shopping will also help us to reduce the use of plastics. I always use my own bags and jute bag while going to market and often encourage shopkeepers to provide us eco friendly bags. We love foods and even pay great sum while buying our favorite fruits/vegetables out of seasons. But this both unhealthy and not-eco-friendly behavior as preservatives are used and lots of cost incurred during packaging and shippping. We must always opt out for seasonal one which are often fresh and healthy. Instead of buying chemical fed food, we should prefer organic one. Organic food are more tasty, nutritious and healthy to eat. Home garden/Kitchen garden needs to be promoted.We had many articles in our ambassador report such as terrace farming/sac farming and also additionally rooftop farming. Such farming concept should be promoted.If we utilize every bit of land for production of our own food we can lessen the use of chemical fertilizers thus contributing to lower pollution of land and water. While talking about farming, we can make compost manure from the bio degradable wastes. The degradable wastes we produce from home is enough for sac gardening/terrace farming/ rooftop farming. This will reduce the wastes load in landfill. We must make the concept that wastes are not wastes until wasted. Lets plant indoor plant. Especially CAM plants which will provide us oxygen during nights and also make our living much confortable. I wrote litle bit about indoor plant in the following links. https://tunza.eco-generation.org/forumBoardView.jsp?forumListID=19&viewID=9936&searchType=&searchName=&pageNumber=1 While talking about technologies, we recntly replaced all our CFL light to ED. LED are much more efficient, lasts longer almost 10 times compared to CFL. LED don't even have mercury problem, on off problem and most importantly they consume 5-6v light compared to 15-18v of CFL. So, its great idea if we adopt to such new technologies. We ought to use public transport whenever available. It is both cost efficient and environment friendly. This will surely reduce the fuel consumption. Also for short distance ride bicycle. This will help us to keep ourselves healthy and also promote environmental cleanliness. Aforementioned are the simple ideas i got in my head, some i collected by reading various articles in ambassador report and internet in particular. If you have even more great ideas please, dear eco-generation member share with us in comment box below. I believe every ideas counts. Our small effort and our simple ideas could be boon to our mother earth and environment. :)

Talk about effectiveness-Using a different method of doing things to get the same desired output (handkerchief in place of tissue paper,carry water bottles in place of buying new ones......). I support these by far. Thank you for the post!!!
