It has been established that green house gases in atmosphere has increased manifold;that this increase is due to human activity,and is leading to the warming of the climate system,evident in increase in global air and ocean temperatures,widespread melting of snow and ice and rising sea levels.All that was feared was coming true ,in our life time.But still it's not Dooms Day.We can still save the earth to an extent.And by we ,i mean us common citizens of will be the first victims of this climate change ,but still feel helpless in doing anything for the environment. We can't rely on the government much because by the time all the bureaucratic hurdles will be cleared ,the change in climate will reach the point of no return.So here are a few things which as an individual we can do to contribute to save this environment,because a stitch in time saves nine,read environment here.
- Usage of paper bags instead of plastic bags.Also paper bags are the in thing and they look more cool than plastic bags.And if you are artistic kinda person then unleash your creativity on them ,by painting,collage or whatever you can think of ,and ,voila you have your own individual bag which defines your individuality and marks you as Eco-friendly person too.
- Minimise the household waste that goes into landfill.Vegetable and fruit peels ,used tea leaves (best fertiliser available) etc can go into the pots or kitchen garden.To avoid the stench that will emanate when they decay,the waste should be mixed with the soil,which is technically,anaerobic composting.Take it, it is my guarantee that it is best fertiliser available in the market.I used vegetable peels as fertiliser in one flower pot and in other commercial fertiliser.One with natural fertiliser has witnessed many plants in less than one year ,all healthy and blooming,like,water melon,Bengal gram,tomatoes,and Bougainvillea which was ever present.And other with commercial fertiliser was not even able to stand one harsh winter.
- Use of car pools.This way you can save your petrol by alternating as well as you get company to lighten the journey which would have been spent in cursing everyone while stuck in traffic jams.
- Plant a tree.Or if you are living in a congested area or are unable to plant and take care of that sapling that compensate for that by planting as many plants as you can . I agree that plants can't compensate for the trees we have lost by the way of jungles but still we need each quart of Oxygen we can get.Also plants beautify our homes,and don't forget the butterflies.
Rest for later.looking forward to your comments..................
