Go Green!!!

In the last few months, especially with the heat on Global Warming hitting high temperatures, followed by Summits, seminars and conferences, directed me to explore, how we as global citizens can help in cooling this.
The coincidence of being associated with an Energy & Infrastructure company, encouraged me to deep dive into the possibilites of engaging alternative/renewable energy for our daily electricity needs. During my research, I realized, 50% of the total energy consumed by a household in India is a criminal waste. The kissing proximity of two buildings ensures very little passage for natural light during the day and most commercial establishments have lights switched "on" 24*7.
Wastage of water, right from cleaning of dishes to self. Axing of trees to usage of plastic bags is extremely concerning.

Development is being misued, with construction activities eating into the forest areas. We are taking away the homes of the wild. Extinction is not a process but a folly of we humans.

I would like to leave it here for you to think, and share how we all can help ourselves live a better and healthy life without causing anymore damage to nature.
