HAPPY WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY to all !!!! The United Nations instituted the celebration of June 5 asWorld Environment Day in 1972. This year the theme is ‘Think. Eat. Save’. A campaign that implores us to be careful about our food choices in order to save the environment. As you all know that for generating electricity we need natural resources like coal, natural gas and water. Now due to the scarcity of these natural resources our country is facing power shortage problems. Lets add our bit to save these natural resources and in turn save our environment and PLANET …… Lets join together …… We can play a major role in saving energy and conserving the natural resources. We can help our contribution by doing small things at home: 1. Turn off lights, fans, TV, Computers and ACs plug points when not in use or when you leave the room. 2. Allow natural sunlight ….. natural cooling. 3. Use Solar Power. 4. Use star rated home appliances only. 5. Use LED lamps in place of ordinary bulbs. 6. Keep ACs at 26 degree Celcius 7. Keep refrigerator six inch away from the wall. 8. Use washing machine with full load. 9. Switch off the mobile chargers when not in use. 10. Close the water tap securely when not in use. 11. When you go out for eating or to the restaurant, order carefully. Eat everything on your plate and avoid wasting. THINK. EAT. SAVE It is important to think before we eat and save the environment, much like the Mumbai Dabbawalas. Under the Dabbawala system, 120 tons of food is transported and approximately 16 tons goes waste. As a result the Dabbawala foundation had come up with the unique concept of ‘Share my Dabba’. Those who have left over food in their lunch boxes can simply paste a red ‘SHARE’ sticker on their Dabba. These Dabbas are than seggregated easily and passed on to the volunteers who feed 200,000 hungry children in Mumbai. Now isn’t that SMART thinking? Think smart ….. help to save environment. Thanks for patient reading ….. but humbly request all to add self contribution sincerely.
