Choosing better path -To Save Planet

Recently I had an interesting discussion about my favorite topic #globalwarming #climatechange with a good friend on Facebook. Finally, I learned something out of that discussion. He was making a point that "yes there is #globalwarming and #climatechange which is caused by humans. But that problem is exaggerated by some business people as there is a lot of money to be made within that industry". Yes, there is money to be made for sure, not small amounts but big money to be made. Matter of the fact that in every industry, businesses are there to make money. But organizations and companies can make money in different ways. Let's check out what options we have as an individual or organization?  1st way: I say this is a wrong way, in which people will not have empathy or gilt of how they make money. In the process of making money, they might destroy others life and nature around. Consuming all natural resources which are limited in availability. Few examples: extens...

Reduce food waste - help planet

Dear Readers, Most of you know that going green is my favorite topic, In the past, I published a couple of articles on that. Today primary goal is to share some tips to reduce the food waste and help planet and community for a better environment. These tips I got it from a book which I am reading, but these suggestions are from Environment Protection Agency (EPA) as well Shop your refrigerator first! Cook or eat what you already have at home before buying more. Plan your menu before you go shopping and buy only those things on your food menu. Buy what you realistically need and will use. Buying in bulk only saves money if you can use the food before it spoils. If safe and healthy, use the edible parts of food that you usually do not eat. For example, stale bread can be used to make croutons, and beet tops can be as a delicious side dish. Freeze, preserve, or can surplus fruits and vegetables -- especially abundant seasonal produce. At restaurants, order what you can finish b...

We all know that with our present lifestyle we are destroying nature(life) and climate on the planet, There are some basic changes that we can implement in our daily life that can reduce our footprint in the destruction of the environment. Today I am going to share 5 top most ways you can reduce your footprint of destroying the environment.  1) Stop using plastic: One of the most nondecomposable components in our waste/trash is plastic.
