etc...

How can we help...?Well, no great sacrifices are required to play our role... It's
pretty simple and definetly in our hands...
A few are...
Turn off the lights and fans when leaving the room...
Don't use when unnecessary...Reduce water wastage...
Plant a few plants in your corridor & take care of them...
Don't use motor vehicles to cover short distances... Use
public transportation as and when possible...Don't change your gadgets frequently... and more...
Most importantly, teach the kids at home about these
habits... Reward them with small prizes for complying...
