SAVE THE LIFE - THE ENVIRONMENT
Today all of us heard a good news about the natural diversity. Someone really understand the importance of environment. Yes i am talking about the new right placed by POPE i.e. " Right of The Environment". No one in the world has right to abuse the environment because it is not his own property rather then it is the property of next generations.
All of us know it is important for our existence on the earth we must save our environment but none of us do nothing in this matter. All of us have very apathetic thinking about this. There are myriad reason for this movement and in this scenario , announcement from pope is going to be a boon for environment. Not only POPE but also Indian PM Narendra Modi also recognize this and raise the voice of climate changes.
Pope Francis declared before the United Nations on Friday that there
is a fundamental "right of the environment" and that mankind has no
authority to abuse it, much less destroy it.
At the General Assembly, the largest gathering
of dignitaries in the world, Francis said that the environment is a
"fundamental good" in all religions, and that a "selfish and boundless
thirst" for power and wealth harms the planet and people alike.
The poor suffer most from misuse of natural resources, he said.
"They are cast off by society, forced to live
off what is discarded and suffer unjustly from the abuse of the
environment," Francis said in Spanish. "They are part of today's
widespread and quietly growing culture of waste."
"The ecological crisis, and the large-scale
destruction of biodiversity, can threaten the very existence of the
human species," he warned.
The pope also declared that the poor have the
right to lodging, labor and land, and that human development
"presupposes and requires the right to education — also for girls."
In a reference to abortion, he demanded
"absolute respect for life in all its stages and dimensions," and he
said that mankind must recognize a moral law that includes "the natural
difference between man and woman."
Perhaps it is responsibility of all of us to take some steps for support this movement . Today i listed some measures and point that we can do in our surrounding and save the environment at our level :-
- Plant a notion
"Going green" doesn't have to be a daunting task that means sweeping life changes. Simple things can make a difference. - Turn off computers at night
By turning off your computer instead of leaving it in sleep mode, you can save 40 watt-hours per day. That adds up to 4 cents a day, or $14 per year. - Go vegetarian
One less meat-based meal a week helps the planet and your diet. For example: It requires 2,500 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. You will also also save some trees. For each hamburger that originated from animals raised on rainforest land, approximately 55 square feet of forest have been destroyed.
- Use both sides of paper
American businesses throw away 21 million tons of paper every year, equal to 175 pounds per office worker. For a quick and easy way to halve this, set your printer's default option to print double-sided (duplex printing). And when you're finished with your documents, don't forget to take them to the recycling bin.
- . Brush without running
You've heard this one before, but maybe you still do it. You'll conserve up to five gallons per day if you stop. Daily savings in the U.S. alone could add up to 1.5 billion gallons--more water than folks use in the Big Apple.
- RECYCLE OLD CELL PHONES
The average cell phone lasts around 18 months, which means 130 million phones will be retired each year. If they go into landfills, the phones and their batteries introduce toxic substances into our environment. There are plenty of reputable programs where you can recycle your phone, many which benefit noble causes.
- TURN OFF LIGHTS
Always turn off incandescent bulbs when you leave a room. Fluorescent bulbs are more affected by the number of times it is switched on and off, so turn them off when you leave a room for 15 minutes or more. You'll save energy on the bulb itself, but also on cooling costs, as lights contribute heat to a room.
- . GIVE IT AWAY
Before you throw something away, think about if someone else might need it. Either donate to a charitable organization or post it on a web site designed to connect people and things.
