Your first steps towards green living...

Look after the land and it will look after you, destroy the land and it will destroy you. This is a basic understanding, a fact that whatever we do today, what all actions we might perform, are sooner or later gonna come back to us, what we are doing to nature today, is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves. The future has in hold for us, numerous unforeseen events; some might turn out to be special surprises for humans, in the form of certain vital resources that would help in making human life much easier and more comfortable. However these unpredicted events needn’t necessarily indicate a positive and safe future for humans, some of these might even be as terrible as disastrous calamities or as discouraging as the extinction of most species of flora and fauna and wiping out of essential natural resources!

Well, it all depends on our current actions. What we do presently shall be influential to a greater extent in determining our future on this Planet Earth, which as of now, is the sole planet to provide all necessities for human survival in adequate proportions. Talking about the current situation, we are living on this planet as if we had another one to go to. However, there’s no Planet B! We have to work together to protect our Planet Earth in order to ensure a safe and sustainable future for ourselves and the generations to come. It’s important to remember that each one of us matters, all of us have a role to play, a responsibility towards every other creature on this planet, towards the entire flora and fauna, towards nature, and towards this planet. We all can still make a difference. But for this, all of us need to realize our duty and take it upon our shoulders to show respect and love for all living things around us, for this planet, that we call home!!

In order to see a green and safe planet in the future, we all need to work today. This calls for the immediate attention of all. The key to a green and clean future lies in one word- Sustainability. When you aim to work for the environment, for nature, you need to first know what exactly is meant by Sustainability. Sustainability deals with the ability of the current generation to utilize the natural resources to fulfill their requirements rationally and to ensure that there’s enough for the future generations to fulfill their needs as well. In order to know more about the topic, you need to explore more. Read online articles, blogs on sustainability, videos on sustainable living, participate in online awareness campaigns, be a part of projects working towards environmental conservation, and get involved. What is most necessary is your personal awareness, your participation, and your voice!!

The next steps, on your part, would include your efforts to incorporate sustainability into your everyday lifestyle. It can be related to the food items you procure, the home appliances you utilize, the products you use at your place for regular works, such as diaries, purses, shopping bags, etc., clothes, your garments. Sustainable living doesn’t only relate to afforestation and keeping a check on activities that might cause environmental degradation! It requires your regular participation and awareness. For instance, your transformation and desire to switch over to sustainable fashion would help you contribute your bit towards environmental conservation, by avoiding the purchase of and discouraging the manufacture of such clothes which are produced using environmentally harmful raw materials. Eco Fashion focuses on manufacturing clothes using eco-friendly materials, such as recycled polyester, organic hemp, organic cotton, etc. along with providing you a distinctive look and accentuating your personality through stunning designs...

There are ways, there are means to work and contribute towards this cause, towards the protection of our planet. However, we need to identify and follow these measures, incorporate them into our everyday lifestyle and focus our attention towards creating awareness on such sensitive issues among our fellow pupils. ‘Nature provides enough for satisfying everybody’s need, but not enough to satisfy everybody’s greed.’

Be the change you wish to see in the world. Start from yourself, transform yourself into a more responsible and aware inhabitant of this Planet Earth, for ensuring a safe and sustainable future!!!
