5 Things You Need to do, to Make This World a Better Place

Written by Team NDTV on July 16, 2015 | Features

“Going green” doesn’t have to be a daunting task that means sweeping life changes. Simple things can make a difference, however small.

1. Take a Pledge

Pledge to a green act every day. It could be making sure that you brush without running the water or not pre-heating the oven or using one paper napkin less. What is it going to be?

2. Involve Kids

It is pertinent that children be made environmentally conscious at an early age. They could well become the harbingers of change in our attitude towards keeping our cities, towns and villages clean.

3. Stop Using Plastic Bags

These are not biodegradable, and are making their way into our oceans, and subsequently, the food chain. Switch to jute or cloth bags, these are inexpensive and readily available.

4. Plant a Tree

It is important that we replenish the resources that are fast depleting due to our consumption. Planting trees is perhaps one of the best ways to give back to the planet. Maybe, you could make it meaningful for the entire family by planting a tree each year for every member.

5. Maintain Your Vehicle

A properly maintained vehicle with clean air filters, inflated tyres, can greatly improve the vehicle’s performance, cut down on pollution and save gas.
