World environment day

04 June 2009 | Sapgreen Sapgreen Activities

Tomorrow is world environment day and we are supposed to do something about it right? What about the day after? Isn’t that as important as tomorrow? What about every day? I think tomorrow is just a reason for getting the unstarted people to start doing something about the environment.

So what’s really special about tomorrow? May be you could just make a conscious effort to make environment  part of everything we do tomorrow.

  • Watch what you eat. Ensure its local, organic etc.
  • How are you going to office? Could you use public transport at least so that you could say “I tried”.
  • Could you plant a sapling. If not, could you just visit a plant nursery, just to get a feel of how beautiful they really are.

I’m not being particular about anything because there are always a 1000 different ways to do something. Its enough if you at least start living in the green direction. In whichever small way you can. Tomorrow can be the time to start this. If you ask me, now is the time to start.

UPDATES:

Last Sunday,  we planted 22 trees at a park in Gokulam, Mysore. It was a mix of college students, school students, slum children, all of whom were extremely enthusiastic about the whole affair of planting saplings. Will write a detailed story of the whole thing in a separate post.

Tomorrow, we will be planting 6-10 saplings again in Gokulam, mostly friends.

Also tomorrow, there seems to be a public meeting on cutting 123 trees on lalitha mahal road. Will be attending that if it is there. According to latest updates, the DC of Mysore, P.Manivannan has stopped the tree cutting plans.
