Love the Environment, Save our Earth

There are many ways that you can help the environment in your daily life.

Its never too late to start changing things for the better. The earth is constantly trying to heal itself from the damage we inflict upon it. The reason this healing process isn't working anymore is because we consume natural resources and pollute the environment faster than the earth can recover from it. When we reduce our consumption and the amount of pollutants we create, the earth will be able to regenerate more easily. Working towards sustainable lifestyles will create a better, healthier environment for everyone, now and in the future - and that the hope lay with each one of us.

Here are few tips you can do to save the environment:-

1. Turn off unneeded lights even when leaving a room for a short time.

2. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs to save money and energy.

3. Turn off lights, computers and other appliances when not in use.

4. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs to save money and energy.

5. Minimize pesticide use and create a wildlife habitat in your yard.

6. Copy and print on both sides of paper.

7. Reuse items like envelopes, folders and paper clips.

8. Walk or ride your bike instead of driving, whenever possible.

9. Join a carpool or vanpool to get to school.

10. Shop with a canvas bag instead of using paper and plastic bags.

Environmentally friendly actions don't have to be large to have an impact. Consistently reducing the amount of energy, water, and paper our businesses use can make a huge difference, both to the environment and to our pocketbooks. How much paper would you save over the course of a year, for instance, if you always ran doublesided copies? A small easy way to go green - but a big result!

Green Technology is the " future " at large

Green technology is a technology that is environment-friendly and ensures that natural resources are conserved. Green technology is the 'future' at large, and the main aim of this innovative technology is to avoid any deterioration to the environmental resources. In a way, green technology helps in reducing the amount of pollution that is being emitted during the process of production and even while consuming the products. It talks about the relationship between human beings and natural resources, and the irreversible hazard that is being caused to the nature and the environment because of the economic activities.

One can quote some examples of environmental hazards such as pollution of rivers, global warming resulting in depletion of ozone layer etc.

Green technology is not only essential for sustainable development in the long-run but there are also short-term advantages of using eco-friendly fuels. India can use 'cradle to cradle' technology, rather than 'cradle to grave', that can be fully re-used.

There are certain crucial issues that need to be focused upon while introducing green technology. For instance, a social awareness about the need for environment-friendly goods and services for production and consumption at a larger scale is required. And, for this, a massive campaign on this issue has to be undertaken. Green technology as a subject needs to be made mandatory in academics. The industrial segment needs to be pushed forward to come out with more environment-friendly production and consumption processes. Various incentives need to be given to the industrial sector, which is ready to innovate and implement green technology.
