We have all been criticising about what is not being done by the government. However, we rarely give our own solutions to any problem that we see. May be the suggestion is ridiculous - but still if we look things in a positive way may be we can suggest solutions which some one can like and decide to implement. I know this is very wishful thinking but this is surely better than just criticising.

REDUCE CONSUMPTION, VOW ON ENVIRONMENT DAY

5th June is the Environment Day - one would find articles after articles in the newspapers as to what is happening to the environment, how we are spoiling it, how we can save it and so on.
I feel the only sure shot way to save the environment is to reduce consumption. Reduce consumption of what? Well, everything. How about using a little less water or a little less electricity or a little less fuel and taking a vow today unnecessary things will not be bought. I know what I am suggesting will not be liked by the people in the business of manufacturing or selling, I know by doing this the GDP may come down but what is more important - to see business growing or to stay alive.
How about telling your child,'do not buy this as it is not very important and you may save the environment a little?' How about the child, realising all this, saying to the parent 'Ma, Paa I can do without this?'
Share your thoughts - talk about it with family and friends. Think about the generations to come - what sort of world we want to leave for them?

i made it to th top 24 in gujarat round of lead india and i was knocked out, not beecause i was incompetant bt coz i said something wh the jury didnt like, bt i stick to my guns.

i feel that saving water is soooooo simple that even a child can be encouraged to do it.

i , in my own way do post ways and means which are common and simple on orkut and by mail to my friends-ways in wh water can be saved.

if all of us get together then i m sure a lot of water wh goes waste can be saved.

my son who just cleared tenth board has stopped using a petrol based 2 wheeler since the day th e price rose. he says that he is contributing to the environment by reducing pollution, saving foreign exchange by not using petrol,and improving his health by using a cycle instead of the kinetic!

He is saving my money too! I salute him for this. no one told him to do this. he felt it right.thats all!
