Well written Muhammad. Sustainable living must be made a part of existence by us.
Whatever method we choose, it must result in some form of saving the environment. Be it using less paper & using both sides, avoiding printing in bulk, avoid wastage of water & power, Planting more trees.
Sustainability should be the way of routine.
