In continuation to the previous post, let me put up a few things first need to be done, to protect our environment and nature. These may look simple and do able for few, but for many these may not be interesting things at all. But one thing we should remember is when we dont care for our nature, it wont care for us.

Things to be followed.

1. Growing of 1 tree per person.
2. Keep your surroundings clean. Dispose waste in dustbins only and not somewhere else.
3. Avoid plastics and other non degradable materials usage.
4. Seperate degradable and non degradable wastes and dispose them appropriately.
5. Make sure you have a proper rain water harvesting system in place in your home.
6. Use water preciously. Dont waste water.
7. Use minimal electricity. Dont over use it and criticize governement for power supply shortage.
8. Use public transport to maximum and personal vehicles to minimum.
9. Use organic fertilizers and avoid inorganic fertilizers.
10. Use bio gas instead of LPG,wherever possible.

All the above things can be followed easily,but are we doing it? Question yourself once before crying out temperatures are rising, monsoons are improper, water and power shortages are existing. If you follow the above , atleast to certain extent, you wont face high temperatures,low ground water levels,environmental pollution increase.

These may be looking philospohical, but think once before criticizing on the fuel price increase,water shortage,power shortage,environmental pollution that have you used them effectively. If you have not used effectively, you dont have rights to cry against these problems. Because you have been a major contributor to these problems.

There are various reasons why by not doing the above mentioned things are runining our peaceful lives. Here is a little brief on how these are important.

1. Growing of 1 tree per person.

The forest coverage or the trees count have been reduced drastically all over India in the past few decades. As a result of which,our environment started acting against us.
Govt has been telling us to grow a tree per home,but now a tree per person is the minimal requirement to bring our environmental balance to a certain extent,if not fully. Also,the rain fall reduction and irregular monsoons are a result of not having enough trees.
By having more trees grown, we will defenitely have a lower temperature climate than what we are having now. More fresh air means, more healthy living. And the increase in the trees count will defenitely bring down the environmental pollution which will give us a healthier life.
There are many things inter related to this aspect and defenitely it will be one of the most important things to do. And growing trees can also help the soil absorb more water,which in turn can maintain the ground water level too. Also soil erotion wont be much if more trees are there. And they give a pleasant atmosphere to live as well. Cant we do this? We can,but we should come forward to do this. Its not a difficult thing to do at all.

The saga continues!!!!!
