Protect the Environment

Its World Environment Day today..Many educational institutions and nature clubs were part of a rally organized early in the morning with an objective to make people aware of the fact that our environment is suffering and we need to protect it.I just wonder how many of those participants practice environment friendly activities themselves because many of them were carrying plastic bags and were dumping the mineral water bottles everywhere..I believe that you need to change yourself if you want to see the world changing...Even i carry plastic bags despite the incessant pleas from nature workers that we should use paper or jute bags...Well i will try to do the latter today onwards..Some things that i would want others to practice this year would be:

-Use dustbins, and if you do not find dustbins everywhere,keep the waste in your bag.You can always dump it when you reach home
-Stop cutting trees in the name of DEVELOPMENT (thats especially for our development pundits)
-Plant one tree in your life (the joy of seeing it grow is immense)
-Use water prudently
-Men...remember walls are not your loo...so please please do not (i hope you understand)..thats really really gross
-Reuse products when possible
-Switch off the lights,fans,and computer while you are not using them
-And of course say NO to Plastic Bags

I hope at least some follow these advice...Small things make a huge difference...Enjoy Protecting our environment!!!
