Save Water – Save Life

May 26th, 2010

The biggest crisis that’s gonna hit us in near future is depleting Freshwater bodies. As a result there would be severe scarcity of Fresh water around us. In such a scenario sustaining life would become difficult as water forms a very important component of our life. The fact is that out of all water available on our planet only 3% is fresh and that’s too is under severe pressure. It’s time we must stand up and save this vital resource.

To save water we must take some important steps and they start right at our homes. We must take steps ourselves instead of waiting for somebody to come up and do it for us.

So the question arises how we could save water around us ? Well, it depends upon us, we could save water at every level like:

  • running taps at low pressure
  • using shower for shorter duration
  • fixing leaks right away
  • replacing toilets with newer water efficient ones
  • running laundry and dishwasher at full load
  • using drip-irrigation mechanism for watering plants
  • never wash car at home instead get it washed at car wash that would recycle the water used
  • switch to tap-water instead of the bottled one

Hi Folks, after much deliberations we are starting this new section where we will take a look at our very own environment in which we live and would also talk about the various factors viz. pollution, exploitation of natural resources affecting it and in turn affecting our very own existence.

Today, we had created such circumstances where our environment has got damaged unto the threshold mark and so it has become a dire necessity to stop those factors or at least to reduce those factors such that life on our planet would not get extinct. We are exploiting our natural resources in a very dangerous way. Temperatures are rising and so ice iss getting melted at the mountain peaks thus sea level are rising alarmingly. All this is leading to the end of life on this planet and still we are waiting for something to happen by itself instead of doing our bit to save our environment.

Here, in this section we will discuss the topics related to our environment and the ways with which we could do something to save our environment getting damaged. We would be happy to hear from you your suggestions regarding the topics to be discussed and any related information that you would like to share with us.
