WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY


Well, its World Environment Day and I’m all for going green.So,what did I do??Nothing great, just thought I’d post this little something I’d written for a friend a couple of months back. When I first wrote it for my friend for her university project, she just absolutely loved it. So I saved it and thought it was the most relevant thing to post. So,am I implementing it daily in my life?Well,im really trying hard to. Hope the person reading it too finds it necessary to seriously think  about and help save our beautiful planet EARTH!! 

A day in my life could be described somewhat like this:
• I wake up in the morning and brush my teeth and leave the tap running while brushing and turn it off only when I’m done.
• I realize, I was in the shower for too long, shampooing my hair, consequence of which is that I ‘v my missed my bus to college and I'm running late in so I’ve asked my dad to drop me.
• Its my turn to take out the garbage today and as I’m already late I don’t separate the wet and dry garbage.
• Its break time in college and my entire class heads to the canteen for lunch break, and we completely forget to turn off the lights and fans.
• Its early evening and I’m famished waiting for the bus so I buy myself a packet of chips and I realize the bus is already here and I don’t have time to throw the packet into a bin so I throw it on the street itself.
• My mom calls in sick that evening so its my sister who’s preparing dinner for us and I notice she’s kept the gas on high flame.
• Its been three hours and I’ve forgotten to unplug my charger from my cell phone.
• Also, the electrician had just called and I dint bother to request for new energy saving bulbs.
• After dinner, its time for our favorite TV show but its been a long day and i'm too lazy to turn off the main switches of the TV before retiring to bed.
As im sitting here doing this project, I’ve realized that I’ve done too many wrong things within one day itself to harm the environment. What can I do now to right these wrongs?
Lets take a look:

Well....

Reduce!
Reuse!
Recycle!
1.Plant a tree, or two. Or more!
2.Drive less. And drive more sensibly, think "Do I really need to drive to the store to just get one gallon of milk?"
3.Walk or bike more.That would keep you in good health too.
4.Take the stairs. Not only is it an exercise you save electricity by not taking the elevator.
5. Save water. Take shorter showers, turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You know the drill.
6. Don’t use plastic bags. when you go to the store, get paper bags because you can recycle them.
7. Turn off all the lights and electrical appliances when you are not using them.
8.You should have bottles so you can recycle them or instead of even buying bottles just buy a water bottle and fill it up every day. 
AND...
9)Don't litter!
