NEED FOR A GREENER GLOBE

A few ways to reduce carbon footprints:

* Ring in the new light
- From traditional bulbs to CFLs
(Huge saving-more than 10,000 MW of electricity!)

* Contribute to some greenery
- Let us cultivate a garden or at least maintain a few
plants around our house/apartments

* Drive electric vehicles - When you are traveling long
- This keeps the air clean and works out economical.
For smaller distances the cycle or a brisk walk is helpful for body fitness

* Turn towards the SUN for energy-By going solar.
Choose solar power to heat water. Try the solar oven. Switch on solar lantern
when there is power failure of load-shedding

* Turn of Computers - When you stop working
When you leave the computer active in standby mode, there is consumption
of power and an increase of carbon emissions.

* Buy only energy saving appliances
Look for sticker with RED*s.
The more no *s indicates lower power consumption.
With washing machines always wash a full load to get more clothes cleaned
using the same power
Ask and buy Eco-friendly washing powder.

* Buying a new house or apartment
Go for Eco-friendly and save 30% energy costs.

* Say a strong NO to plastic bags
Go to shopping with your own cloth bag.

* Go gentle on paper, use email
Reduce use of paper consumption

* R-CUBE
RECYCLE-REPAIR-REUSE
This magic cycle can fetch great results.

For better results, spread out these to as many of your mighty friends,
neighbours as possible - to create much better and healthy environment.
