Go Green, Protect the environment, Global Warming, save the power-we see all these words everywhere. Little do most of us have time for it.
When I heard about the principles of one of my friends on these environmental aspects, it sounded impractical or even foolish in this fast moving world in the beginning. But now I feel it is worth giving a thought.
A person high up in a leading software concern using only the public transport to commute, not only to office, but wherever he goes. In the scorching heat of Chennai, does not use an air conditioner, instead prefers planting trees in the little vacant land around his home. First one to switch off the lights or fans wherever he finds them unused, irrespective of where he finds it or who put them on. Of all things he once said in frustration about the traffic- if given a chance to be the PM for one day, he would compel people to use the public transport. Not only will this save us from pollution, but also would pave way for a hassle free traffic. Is that not a boon to Chennai?
Well, it may not be practically possible to do all this, keeping in mind our present day lifestyles. But then, we can sure do minor contribution to protect the environment which in turn is nothing but protecting ourselves and our future generations. Can’t we ensure to close the leaking taps, avoid plastics, car pool?. If we just give a thought, we can find quite many ways to protect our depleting environment by doing trivial changes in our daily activities. Little drops of water make a mighty ocean- right? So why not all of us join hands in this?
