Go Green!

I am working towards a greener life. With serious threats to our planet, I thought I would do my bit I this. Its really easy, one doesn’t have to forsake the pleasures of the material world for this. Simple day to day things help each one to contribute in their own way for this.

So what am I doing? Here’s a quick list –

At Home

1. Replace all bulbs with CFL bulbs
2. Use a water filter – that way, we don’t open the refrigerator more often
3. Switch off all gadgets from the main switch, no stand-by mode used
4. Switch off lights and fans when not required
5. Zero use of air freshners and pesticides like mosquito repellants
6. Planting a little garden – feel fresh, but also cleanse the air in the house!
7. Washing clothes alternate days and and them out to dry – less electricity used!

At Work

1. No prints unless absolutely required
2. Print on both sides of the paper – fit 4 pages in one
3. Use my own mug for tea – reduce usage of paper cups
4. Switch off my laptop daily as well as blank out the screen when not in use for over 2 mins
5. Use one side used paper for notes most times

Let’s all of us try and “Go Green”. Finally all it takes is something from each one for a better earth!
