Question

What are the initiatives you can take at personal level to save the environmental degradation?

Answer 1

At the personal level, there are several initiatives one can take to help reduce environmental degradation:

1. Avoid the use of polythene bags and other non biodegradable materials that cause harm to the environment. Carry a cloth bag or jute bag on a shopping spree.
2. Always recycle or reuse the waste materials instead of throwing them away.
3. Do not burn garbage. Composting is always a better alternative which supplies organic manure for your kitchen garden.
4. Save energy by innovative methods and technologies at home and your surroundings. Switch off unnecessary lights and fans.
5. Use car pool or public transport to save fossil fuel.
6. Conserve and harvest water and recharge groundwater.
