GREEN DEEDS

Happy New Year, 2010.

Hope, you had all the new year's flavours, aromas, wishes, entertainment, cultural activities, refreshment, fun and frolic etc. New Calendars? BTW, How did the parties and celebrations went off? Colourful/Exciting/Blast/Rockin? Were they Green too? 

Yeah, i mean it. How much we have been contributing to the ever incrementing global warming by these celebrations on various occasions, year long? We all of us know very well that, not only celebrations, every human deed results in the gradual extinction of many species, daily. Wait, I am not asking every one to become a saint and stop partying/celebrating. If we are responsible to the mounting Global Warming phenomenon, knowingly or unknowingly, by the usage of non-biodegradable things and burning fossil fuels through our daily activities , then isn't it our responsibility to compensate for the inevitable damage we are causing to the Environment in which WE live.

Any new resolutions in New Year?

How about having one more?

Shall we try "Green Deeds" ?

Yes. Green Deeds. You might have got the gist of this topic by now.

I strongly feel that the obvious failure of Copenhagen summit(Climate Change) necessitates to retrospect our role and responsibilities before passing the buck to other entities. I would like to propose an idea to deal with the number of carbon foot prints we are leaving behind whenever we succumb ourselves to consumerism .

As every  activity, from partying to blogging, results in a certain amount of  plastic waste or consuming any fuel/energy/power that causes global warming, we can make the activity as GREEN by planting a sapling to minimise the damage/impact, if not finding a solution. It is quite simple. You can choose, like, for how many activities/deeds you will plant a sapling. It can be one sapling per one activity or one sapling per 4 activities, depending on one's convenience. The choice is yours.  It is highly flexible .  We have to start somewhere, right?

Think once....

 

1. How about adding a plant along with the gift on any/every occasion?

2. How about planting a sapling/saplings as a memory to our recent trip?

3. How about having at least one Green weekend per month?

4. How about having 11 plantations whenever India wins a series or your favourite player performs?

5. How about saying a Green Sorry?

6. How about having a plant on every success in our life?

7. How about Green Festivals/Green Cinemas/Green Works/Green Jobs?

8. How about converting all get-togethers/Meetings/Parties/Trips/Journeys/Weekends/Holidays etc into "Green Visits"?

9. How about "Green Shopping" (one plant per 1000/10000  etc )? What say?

10. We may have Green Friends/Relationships too....

11.Finally, how about Green Blogs/posts. One plant per one post/5 posts/one Blogaton etc??

Similarly,

Green Studies...... 1 plant per one semester/academic year

Green Careers.....1 plant per appointment/bonus/onsite/promotion etc

Green Bike.....1 plant per 100/500/1000 km etc

Green Aims...... 1 plant for one Aim/Goal/Dream

Green Waste...... 1 plant per 1month/100 days/1 year etc

Green Books...... 1 plant per 1 book/10 books

Green LOVE....... You know it.

Green Homes.......Is your balcony empty? 

Green Gadgets.....1 plant per PC/Laptop/mobile, per year

Green Music.......1 plant per 100/200 albums etc

I hope the questions, like, Is your Job Green? Is your life Greener? Is this Green Party? Do you have Green Memories? Is your PC green Is your blog Green/Are you a Green Blogger?  ....etc will become part of our lives soon.

So Friends, what do you say? Will you join me and spread this flavour of "Greenism" ?

I am leaving few ideas for you. I would like to have suggestions from you, which i will add in this post, eventually, to make it more comprehensive and pragmatic.

 Any Green Thoughts ?

Lets, WE, together make this new year a......

Happy GREEN New Year :)
