Sangeeta Khurana 4/30/2022 11:17 AMAn increase in water consumption has an impact on nature. Its effect is evident on wetlands, plantations, biodiversity, and others that may affect human livelihood. To conserve water, you have to stop wasting it. Avoid leaving the water running while taking a bath or brushing your teeth. Use a broom in cleaning areas at home and not the water hose. You can also use a pale and sponge to clean your car. In watering your houseplants, you can utilize a self-watering system. Saving water is also saving energy, so save water to save both. -
Sangeeta Khurana 4/28/2022 1:44 PMExpansion of wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal energy should be encouraged to create less CO2 than fossil fuels. -
Sangeeta Khurana 4/27/2022 11:41 AMEvery small contribution we make to preserving the Earth and its ecology makes a difference. Plastics, for example, are a major contributor to environmental damage. We may make small changes, such as avoiding the usage of plastics. Plastic water bottles, for example, can be avoided. Instead, we can transport and store water in steel, glass, or clay bottles. We can also plant trees in our neighbourhood. -
Sangeeta Khurana 4/25/2022 3:30 PMTo save Earth, we all have to come up together to make a difference. One person can not make up the difference, but we all together can do the miracle. We have to take care of small things in our daily routines, such as switching off the lights when not in need, closing the tap and using the water properly, and avoiding the use of plastic and non-biodegradable material at home -
Sangeeta Khurana 4/24/2022 1:05 PMAs all human activities are impacting the lives of other organisms, humans only need to take steps to protect the earth and its resources. A little effort will go a long way on everyone’s end. Each action will make a difference. For instance, if one man decides to stop drinking bottled water, thousands of plastic can be saved from consuming. -
Sangeeta Khurana 4/23/2022 4:35 PMYou can conserve water by taking shorter showers, fixing leaky toilets, and choosing low-flow and low-water appliance options. -
Sangeeta Khurana 4/23/2022 5:52 AMThe environment is no one’s property to destroy. It’s everyone’s responsibility to protect. Let us hold hands to save our planet. -
Sangeeta Khurana 4/21/2022 2:17 PMEnergy wastage will result in long-term problems because most of the natural resources are limited. To conserve energy, unplug all unused appliances and gadgets from their outlet. Using energy-efficient light bulbs and air-drying clothes are also ways to save energy. -
Sangeeta Khurana 4/20/2022 11:04 AMInstall canals on your rooftops so that rainwater can be reused for household purposes or can recharge groundwater. -
