Let's make protecting the Environment 'Everyone's Duty'

IF WE CAN DO IT !!!

As you all people Know, India is a large country both in terms of its area and population. This fact itself says

a) how much pollution was/is being generated from our country (India is the 4th largest contributor of green house gases). and
b) how much contribution we can make to reduce the extent of pollution and thus Protect our Environment.

The major sources of pollution are :

A) Industries/ organizations
B) Transport Vehicles
C) Household pollution

Now, lets ask ourself 'what can we, as individuals do to deal with pollution.

Most of us are not so closely associated with industries. So, let's concentrate on Vehicles and Household pollution.

Coming to the transport vehicles, preliminary thing is that we need to realize the importance of public transport vehicles in reducing the amount of greenhouse gases emitted. Instead of going to your office alone in a car or on a bike, prefer to go by a bus. Next, think of using Electric Bikes & cars so that we can reduce our green house emissions. Even in the generation of electricity there is an element of pollution, but it is to an extent less compared to the use of fossil fuels. Employing Solar Energy, Wind Energy and Wave Energy will eliminate the pollution from electricity generation.


Domestic/ Household emissions are no less to emissions from the vehicles and industries. Green house gases do come out from our houses, ex: our gas stoves. Now you may ask , can we avoid Gas Stoves from our Homes. My answer is yes. But, i have a point to make clear to you. We cannot avoid it completely. We can avoid gas stoves in situations like cooking rice etc.
We can use CFL Bulbs instead of the tube lights/ Incandescent bulbs as the CFL bulbs are energy efficient i.e consume less electricity. It obviously means that less electricity needs to be produced and thus less amount of green house gases will be released during its production.
Some problems come to the surface in the Metropolitans. They include the above, and in addition other problems like Sewage Treatment, Solid waste management. We can treat our sewage right in our homes, We can Treat Some of our Solid waste as well. If we can do this, it will be a great job. These are just a few situations and we can bring a lot of Change if we all are committed to the cause of protecting the Environment.

Once we all can bring a change, even the industries / organizations will come forward to work for the cause of 'Protecting the Environment'.

So, Lets Say Together ,"We Indians will do our part to Protect the Environment".
