June 5th is observed as the World Environment day
and we, as responsible citizens of the nation, should take steps to ensure that
our environment is preserved, saved and conserved for the future generation.
The theme for this
year was Think. Eat. Save.
Many of us do not
really think before buying food and consuming. It is amazing how much we
can contribute to the environment by just making a few changes in our
lifestyle.
Buying just enough food to suffice instead of buying all
that looks attractive on the shelves is a sure way to ensure that a lot of food
wastage is arrested. Leftovers need not always go into the bins as they are
plenty of ways to re-use good edible stuff. If there is a lot of food remaining
after a party or wedding, a call to the nearest home or orphanage can feed a
lot of hungry mouths and the environment will benefit too.
Waste segregation drive has been one of the high points in
the past few months and one of the primary rules is to carry our own carry bags
when shopping to reduce the use of plastics. Composting at home is another
healthy way in the path of conserving and utilizing resources.
Take a few minutes out of your schedule to check out how the
WED is celebrated and implemented on the UNEP page here: http://www.unep.org/wed/
