What it takes for an individual person to
- Save the polar ice caps from melting?
- Save the low lying islands from drowning into the sea?
- Avoid Delhi air pollution kind of problems?
- Avoid any other environmental problems?
The simple way is, check your daily usage of things. If there is a repeating
Take-Use- Throw kind of items, rethink. Find alternatives and avoid throwing the same.
Here is an experiment/story from my side.
Each day, whenever I need to take a coffee/tea/water - I used to simply reach the stack of this paper cup, take one, use and throw it in the bin.
A simple happy life right?
One fine day, from the nearby mall, bought this cup and decided to use it for my daily purpose.
Yes, a buy one - get one offer, typical Indian mentality.
Each day
- A couple of Tea/Coffee
- A good amount of water (same old take2 lit of water and its good for eyes whatsup forward )
No. These 7 cups won't save polar ice caps - As of now.
End of the week, this is what we got. A small stack of paper cups saved by a single porcelain cup.
After four weeks - End of the month.
Let us stack it and make a tower now.
Really, we are not making tower but throwing it here. Now, daily somebody picks these items, dumping somewhere on the planet.
We never know
What kind of disposal methods they are using.
Where they are disposing etc
Now - few points to think. The raw materials to manufacture these cups, energy we spend on transportation from manufacturing unit to your place, human and other types of resources, disposing of the same, etc.
Want to save the world? Come and take the remaining cup from me and start using (Of course, you need to pay for the same)
