If you want to go somewhere near, please walk or use bicycle. Do not

get into the habit of driving or using your motorcycles. Carpool whenever

possible. Carpooling with friends or family members helps you save petrol.

This is because the cost is equally shared by all. These will not only protect

the environment, but also improve your health.

When taking baths, make sure you dont waste water. Do not let the

tap run while you are washing your hair. Take short showers instead. Do not

use the air-conditioner. Use the ceiling or table fan instead. You would be

surprised at how much energy is saved. It also saves your money. A very

important point to remember is to unplug all electrical appliances when not in

use. Do you know that electrical appliances consume energy even when

they are unplug in and switched off?
