HOW TO : Reduce Use of Plastic and Save Environment

Few days ago, India's leading newspaper daily, Times of India, published a report on amount of plastic waste India is generating.
"India is Sitting on the Plastic Time Bomb" - Supreme Court of India 

On reading this article, we thought to present an article on giving you tips to reduce use of plastic and our daily life dependencies on it. We can thereby save our environment.

We made a list of some things with which  we can easily substitute it and use some other things which are environment friendly.

1.Use of Glass bottles in Softdrinks:

Do not use plastic bottles and try to maximize the use of glass bottles in softdrinks. This way, you can surely beat your thirst and save environment as well.


2. Re-use ball-point pens to reduce plastic:



It is easy to reuse ball point pens and just change the refill everytime. Discourage use of use-and-throw cheap ball point pens. Use refill pens to save environment.

3.Use of Steel/Copper water bottles:



How about using steel or copper water bottles in your house instead of plas-tic bottles. Guess what, drinking water kept in copper water bottles can help you heal from many diseases. Why not gain that advantage at least.  If not for environment, do it for your health :)

4. Use of Cloth Bags than Polyethene bags:




Why not switch to stronger cloth bags which can be easily stitched in your home from old cloth without any cost! Avoid use of plastic bags while in shopping. Encourage shop keepers to provide paper bags than plastic bags and help save environment.

These are some basic areas where we can reduce use of plastic or we can totally replace plastic to help save environment. We are worried and we are planning to shift to more environment friendly products to use instead of plastic.

Residences alloted to ministers and other class 1 government employees are contributing a bit to save our environment. Each houses in Secretariat, Minister's quarters, Govt. houses are lit up using solar energy.Solar photovoltaic panels are fixed on the CM’ Narendra Modi's residence’s roof top too which is now regularly generating 80 units of electricity every day

You can earn by installing Solar power panels:


If you are staying in the capital city of Gujarat, that is Gandhinagar, you can start your power generating company at home. If you install solar power panels at your home, building or office space and if you are generating more than 10 KW of power, Government will buy it and connect it to main grid. In return,  they will pay you per unit usage.You can receive upto Rs.15 per unit.

Solar Electricity in Gandhinagar

  •  140 Kilowatt on the terrace of block no. 14 in the New Secretariat building.

  •  20 Kilowatt on the terrace of CM’s residence.

  •  80 Kilowatt on the GPCB building terrace.

  •  75 photovoltaic street lights in 6 gardens of Gandhinagar.

  •  155 street lights with 1 Kilowatt system on each Government houses.

Citizens can earn 2.25 Lacs/ year
15 Sq.mtrs of space is needed to set up a 1 Kilowatt solar plant; which will primarily cost 1.50 Lacs. JEDA has suggested setting minimum 10 Kilowatt plant to make it in grids which will need 150 sq.meter space costing Rs. 18 lacs. The seller can earn 2.25 lacs/year with 15 Rs/unit.

Nice move by Narendra Modi! Whats your take?

Clever Protests Around the World (Better than Bharat Bandh)


Well, today that is 31st March, is declared by opposition party as Bharat Bandh or All India Strike. These political one-day drama is set to protest petrol price rise but how effective is this strike? This political one-day drama will end in the eveing and nothing will happen. But, we researched some clever protests around the world that shook the management/government badly and it changed the scenario around.

1.Single shoe manufacturing in China


In China, the labourers were fighting for their benefit income and decided to go for a strike. But, their protests went unheard and they could not make its maximum use. But, again on the other day, they decided to join the work but protest by manufacturing only single shoe per pair. This movement shook the management with loss of millions of dollars and labourers won the fight.

2. Farmers protest by growing


Well, the work of a farmer is to grow and they protested by growing!  Farmers in USA protested by planting various farm products on the field and did'nt harvest any plant. These incurred a loss of thousands of crores of dollars to the company. The vegetables/fruits got rotten on the field itself incurring huge losses.

3. By Non-violence


How can we forget the biggest ever protest done that freed India from the cluthes of Britishers. Mahatma Gandhi's unique non-violence protests over the years led to freedom of the country. These protests were so silent that Britishers had no weapon to use and they moved out of India.

Do you know any such weird protests around the world? Share it in comments
