go green...by doing nothing

world environment day again. june 5th always excites me as my identity is very much related to it! yeah as an environmental journalist i bug and dig people most of the times and ask them to go green! how about doing it now...i know it sucks to even think about compromising and sacrificing our interests to save nature..but how about not doing anything yet saving the planet???
here are some tips which could be adopted by anyone at anytime at any place!!!
1) washed your clothes and you have tons of water in your bucket???...wait..dont throw into the gutter..use the water to flush your toilets...there you go...reusing your water...see how simple it is...
2) washed your vegetables and throwing away the vegetable waste? wait hero....put them in the plants...as simple as that
3) how about buying a gen-x jute or cloth bag and wearing it across your shoulders while your goggles are on!! you look like a dude /chic...i bet it..now go for shopping and dump your stuff in it...dont carry polythene.. you look smart when you have cloth or jute bags in your hands than those branded polythene bags!! think about it honey
4) have you ever thought of having a well lit room? trust me and try this...switch on the lights only in the room that you are in and let all other lights and fans sleep (not at the cost of other people in the house) now see how well you glow in your own room...dont you think you would be saving lot of electricity??? think think..
5) decorate your balcony and corridor with small plant pots and flowers....see how beautiful it would look....it wont cost you more than 100 bucks..but definitely gives you million times of happiness..
6) whenever you open the tap..imagine you are using your credit card! i dont think you are dumb enough to over use your credit card!!
how about taking an oath to do all these stuff or atleast one of them? be at your home and save the planet!
GO GREEN...........zoooooom

Municipal corporation Visakhapatnam is all green today and Vizagites are always green. Students of municipal primary schools plucked saplings from the park. Each student held a sapling. A local VIP got photographed. He preached children from schools and adults watching them the importance of trees . Nobody planted a sapling.About a dozen big trees were felled by nature IE low pressure over Bay of Bengal.College students are all green lovers. They wear jeans. Jeans need not be washed for months and that is how they conserve water.In old city of Vizag people collect water from a bore well in a pitcher. They take bath with that water very near the bore well. Ground water goes back to ground.Realtors in Vizag have contempt for trees. Trees prevent construction of apartments. WELCOME TO VIZAG
