Save Mother Earth

What my belief from past experience says is, most of us are concerned about saving our earth but we are not able to do it because.

1.We are not aware how to do it.
2.We find ourself alone and dont take initiative because we understand that we cant do much alone.
3.We think that government organizations should take care of it.
4.We find ourself too busy to do anything about it.
5. We are so used to our daily routines that we are reluctant to change it( thats human nature)

My purpose towards starting this blog is to try to solve above issues and also to recieve ideas from you all and to implement them together. I fully understand that the goal of saving our earth can not be achieved alone and we need to come together and work on this.

Following is how we can start solving challenges i mentioned above,

1. We can achieve awareness by talking to each other on this topic, talking on this will not just increase our awareness and understanding of this topic, it is also bring changes in our behaviour in small ways which will have big imacts towards mission saving earth.

2.This is true that nothing much can be achieved alone, at the same time as they always say, it always starts from one and moves to many and many. As we put more thoughts here and we keep talking to people on this topic we shall surely find more and more people who really want to do something and will do to solve the environmental crisis.

3.We all know how corruption is deep rooted in government organizations and they are not doing what they are supposed to do, BUT does that mean that we shall not leave our kids a place to live where they can breath freely and can enjoy a healthy and beautiful life. Is it not our responsibility to make sure that we leave for kids a place to live like our ancestors left for us. As following line puts it best

“We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, We borrow it from our Children” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

4. We are busy, but again what we are working for if we are not left with an earth to live? This is our most important responsibility to save earth. No career growth and bank balance will help if you dont have nature to live, We all know this then why not get some time out and dedicate it towards some small activitiy per day which helps save our nature.

5. As human we are always reluctant to adapt changes(even if they are good for us). Very basic example of brushing teeth before going to bed helps understand this, though we know we can spoil our teeth if we dont do so still we dont do brush at night(many of us). This shows how reluctant we are when are to change our daily routine. On this we need to put some concious effort to bring change in our habits, no body can do this for us, we need to understand the importance of this gain more knowledge and start implementing it.

I am hoping this we shall bring more and more people together using this blog and we shall start bringing change, To share the fact i have started a small intitiative at my office as a part of which we are promoting Go Green best practices at office and spreading awareness amongst people.

I have bought a bicyle and i have started traveling at least small distances using my bicycle. Trust me it not only saves nature it also keeps you fit and also solves traffic problem, and also saves your money
This can be a good start when bicycling gives us so many benefits then why not do it

I shall look forward for more ideas from you all and i shall also start putting more thoughts here.

Go Green…………….. Let All live a Healthy and Green Life

Hi,
I read your blogg and i liked your thoughts very much and the most thing i liked in that was your way of thiking about using cycle to control the pollution problem and to make a healthy enviroment.
but i also want to share my thoughts with you.As everybody knows that the world is full of beauty but it is going to be dirty because of the pollution but we can save it.
there are many waays to save our earth but if we really want to save earth, we should start ourself.
There are some points what we can use in daily routine:
* Plantation of trees
* reducing smoke level
* Avoid plastic
* Use solar energy
* Keeping the sea and rivers clean
We have only one earth so please save our earth, but first we should learn how to love nature.
