Living In Green Makes Our Life More Valuable

Green living means leading an eco-friendly lifestyle which will result in a sustainable future. The non–renewable resources are depleting at a faster rate. Deforestation, pollution of rivers, air pollution etc. All these are deteriorating the environment day by day. It is about time that we act as responsible inhabitants of the earth and make sure that our future generations are not deprived of these resources.

For this a few steps can be followed which are listed below:

• If the distance to be covered is not too long, walk instead of using a vehicle to reach your destination as it will not only prevent harmful fuel emission but also save the fuel, money and will be a good exercise too. Fuel efficient cars are also a good option.
• Prefer organic food as farmers don’t use or use very few chemicals (pesticides) while growing it which is not only healthy but prevents soil pollution too.
• Donate your plastic bottles and polythene bags for re-cycling instead of clogging up landfills.
• Instead of using light bulbs, use compact fluorescent lights or CFLs. These are more efficient and will last longer.
• Instead of using plastic bags to carry your goods while shopping, try to carry a canvas bag with you.
• Do not forget to switch off all electric appliances while you are not using them.
• Avoid wastage of water by closing the taps tightly after using.
• Nowadays many energy efficient appliances have also come up in the market such as thermal power geysers, CNG run vehicles, solar water heater etc.

If we follow those steps will surely make the earth a better place for the next generation.
