AIM IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MEANS

CARBON FOOTPRINT

You guys must be thinking why this title ? I could have wrote just carbon footprint or something else like how to reduce it, but this title is a small memory of mine when I was in school. I participated in a debate competition and there I got this topic' END IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MEANS'. I was debating against the topic that time and fortunately I won . But that is not the point here . Reason why I am telling you this is that I should have debated in support of the line 'END is more important than means .

Why ? I will tell you why .

LETS GO

CARBON FOOTPRINT

First ,you guys have to understand what a carbon footprint is? here comes a lame joke first ,it is not a footprint which u will be proud of like Neil Armstrong leaving his footprints on moon or Columbus in America . OOPS I did it sorry for the lame joke, here it comes

• CARBON FOOTPRINT is the total amount of green house gas which we humans ,organizations produce directly or indirectly by our activities and lifestyle.

• Gases like CO2, methane ,nitrous oxide contributes to GHG . Mostly CO2 is dominating.

• If we talk about India then there is tonnes of production of these gases. Not only in India but in other countries like America , china these gases are formed in majority. China is on top for producing GHG.

Guys we can calculate our carbon consumption by data and formulae but it won't be accurate . Here I am giving you two sites in which u can check CF in 2 minutes . It wont be 100% accurate but close enough. you will have idea how much you are contributing ...

1-WWF , 2-Terrapass

• If we burn fossil fuels we are producing these gases .

So guys lets take realistic approach , we cant just stop burning fuels right ! I mean its our necessity . We all are dependent on it. But we can help in reducing carbon content buy following these steps -

1-TRANSPORTATION

Guys lets say I want to buy some fruits and there is a shop 1 km away , so as we belong to this generation ,our first instinct will say why waste time lets get my car buy some fruits and will be home in a minute. Our generation wont even bother to walk that distance . Honestly I was a person like this. I avoid to walk small distances But as I realized this is unhealthy for Me and Earth as well , I am improving myself .

Car fuel burnt for 1 hour produce 2.5 kg CO2.

MY AIM/END - BUYING FRUIT ,lets say I used no means to reach my goal ,I walked OR I did cycling rather using motorbike or car . So here, I got to the point why aim is more important.

-Guys don't use automobiles if distance is short save fuel emission.

2- RECYCLING WASTE

1- Separate your waste like wet (mostly kitchen) ,dry and e waste

2- methane emission from waste produce 3% of GHG .

3-recycle composite organic waste

4- The plastic we use ,we can recycle it for various uses.

ex :- I used COKE plastic bottles for plantation . I put water plants in it by cutting bottle in two pieces . or we can use it as coin collector.

These small steps matters too.

I request all of you to recycle as many plastics you can .

Don't waste paper if its not in use ,recycle it.

help us reducing carbon footprint.

3- Consume less MEAT

This was hard to digest for me too , as I love non veg . I eat meat in like alternate days I swear, but fuel consumption in making such meals is way way too much . I can't stop eating meat but all I can do is rather having for alternate days I will have once in a week .

single drop creates a pond kind of thing .

Add greens to your meals like salad , quick meals where fuel burn is less . See baby steps .

4-ELECTRICITY

Use LED lights as it consume less electricity

switch off fans and lights when not in use

There are some motion sensors which switch off automatically when nobody is there .

shower 1 minute less it can save 23 kg CO2

if we turn off electric equipment we save 51 kg CO2 every year. Use less AC and keep your windows open for natural ventilation.

4- WATER

Trust me that cat turn off the tap once she was done drinking .

As a child we learnt that we have to save water but in reality what we did to save it?

from today onwards just pour water the exact amount u want to drink in glass, don't waste .

fill kettle with the amount of water you want not extra ,it will save 72 kg CO2.

As rainy season is approaching we can also harvest water ,so lets do this .

5-USING NON CONVENTIONAL RESOURCES

BY using non conventional resources we are forming a clean energy without any wastage .

wind mills , solar panels ,geothermal plants, bio gas , these help us in all possible ways to reduce carbon content.

Lets support those resources which support our environment

Phewwww I don't know how many of you guys came till down here , I understand this blog is educational . Some of you might find this content boring . But this is reality guys we should not ignore this. I am doing this is to bring some change . Make our Earth healthy again. All this points are important . I request you all to follow this every day . Make this a habit. Lets bring this carbon footprint down.

TOGETHER WE CAN
