ecoTrain Question Of The Week 8.5: WHAT IS THE BEST KIND OF ACTION?

Recently we Indians have made a record that is almost impossible to break for any other country. And that record is for making 14 largest cities in the world. So my concern is all about the environment so this week's question was what is the best kind of action I prefer it by saving the environment.

Friends, no need to tell you that this earth.. this air.. how important this water and this environment is for us and you also know that how much damage we human beings have caused and are causing them… so today I am I will not talk about this. I will talk about taking action.

From this Day, do something or the other and keep doing it continuously which will help in saving our environment. And to make this work easy, today I am sharing some such environment-friendly practical ideas which you can make a part of your daily life without any special effort.

Maybe, some of these you must be following already… it is good, but if you can take something from here and make it a part of your life then it will be great.

1. Take up to half a kilometer round trip on foot or by bicycle:
   Many people blow petrol even for walking 100 steps…please don’t do it. Make a Thumb Rule –If the commuting is within 1/2 km, then I will go for a walk or cycle. By doing this, along with the environment, your health will also be good.

2. Do not let RO wastewater go to waste: Usually when 4 liters of water is added to RO, then it gives 1 liter of potable water. That is, three wasted for one. With a little effort, you can save this water and make it-
   Washing dishes
   Laundry
   Putting in plants to clean the house
   etc. can work.

3. Turn off the lights, fans, AC while leaving the room: This is being taught since school days, many people also follow, but still many people do not. So, if you don't, plz follow it.

4. Decrease Wash Basin Flow: This is a very easy and practical way to save water. There is also a tap to control the water at the bottom of the washbasin, often it is completely open, if you turn it a little, then the water flow will automatically decrease. And a lot of water will be saved from wasting.

5. Keep Shopping Bags in Your Car / Bike / Scooty: Say no to plastic. Tell yourself, no Don't wait for government regulations and ban on plastic… Keep shopping bags, (preferably made of jute) in your car, especially while taking vegetables and groceries. And this time (2018) the theme of Environment Day is also "beat plastic pollution". So from today is a very good day to make this habit.

6. Take as much food as you can eat: The wastage of food is not only of food with it crores of liters of water, oil and energy are also wasted. Be it at home or outside for money or for free… take only as much food as you can easily finish. Don't feel ashamed to order less especially by going to restaurants the shame should come only in wasting food.

You should also tie the knot on this matter… money does not give you the right to waste any natural resource.
Your money does not give you the right to waste electricity, water, food.

1. Use and throw not use and reuse- Instead of getting a new pen, change its refill. Instead of dumping clothes and shoes, go to a cobbler-tailor due to a slight defect. Use plain pages of old class copies.
