Zen in me - 1

Marching Forward Unmindfully

I was driving my vehicle, in a busy road, at a busy time. I drove with great care and regular pace-40km/hr. A man behind me kept blowing his horn. The road was wide; there was no one on my sides. The man kept blowing his horn. I kept moving at my regular pace. The man kept blowing his horn.

Things you can do for Environment- Plz think about it

The first thing is, read the next 10 things…

1. Use a glass when brushing your teeth. Every year, billions of liters of fresh water is wasted by simply not using a glass when brushing your teeth.

2. Don't use straws. They say the straw is the most stupid invention. They are unnecessary and only add to our waste problem.

3. Say NO to plastics when shopping. Bring your own reusable bags when doing your grocery, or when buying single items like books or cd's, a plastic bag, or even a paper bag is unnecessary.

4. Turn off the lights and Monitors . When there is ample daylight or when no one is in the room. You not only save on electricity, you also lower temperature as light gives off heat. Switch off monitor while leaving for breaks,meetings or enable automatic turn-off monitor option to turn off monitor after few minutes. Don't use Ctrl+Alt+ Del. It takes hardly two more seconds to shut-down the PC while going home from office. So that You can help to save enormous power from wastage.Think as you are not making loss to your organisation, but to your country. Electricity saving is Equal to Electricity prodcution.

5. Walk. Take the stairs. Or car pool or take public transportation. You not only lower your carbon gas emissions, you are also doing your heart good when you walk regularly.

6. Unplug cell phone chargers after use. As well as all unused electronic appliances. Some appliances use more electricity even when not in use. Microwave oven with timers uses more electricity on stand by mode the entire day than when you cook dinner with it.

7. Use both sides of the paper. And make sure to recycle it after. You not only lessen your wastes but you also help stop the unnecessary cutting of more trees.

8. Turn off shower when soaping. And make sure to avoid long and frequent showers. Showering three times a day not only uses precious fresh water, but also creates more waste water that goes into our rivers and lakes. It dries your skin too. No scientist can produce even a single drop of good water. so try to save it.

9. Never burn anything. Burned resources are lost forever. Burning also releases harmful substances into the atmosphere. Reduce and reuse always. Compost and recycle what you can.

10. Tell your friends about this. Spread the word, and together we can make a difference
