We observe Earth Day on 22 April across the world. Let’s help protect our planet in very simple ways like these .....
We commemorate so many special days such as Republic Day, Independence Day, Mothers Day and so on. Well here is one day that deserves not only a commemoration, but our total dedication- Earth Day, 22 April. At Sanctuary, we live our lives like everyday is Earth Day, but we all believe that it would be fantastic to remind our relatives, friends, neighbours, teachers and elders on this day that protecting Mother Earth can end up making us both happy and safe.

Will you do something this Earth Day? Here's a handy list of things you can do.

1. Cut Consumption: Consume as little as possible on Earth Day. This is a day when you can Refuse (to buy new things), Repair and Reuse (old stuff), Recycle (what you cannot reuse), Reject (stuff that is toxic or dangerous to the environment) and Renew (your purpose and resolve to protect the planet).

2. Cut Energy: a) Ditch the old incandescent bulbs and shift to CFLs / or LEDs (Google both to find out more) (b) Walk or use public transport, try not to use private cars to save fuel. Carpool. Cut down on trips. Use Skype instead of travelling for meetings. (c) Switch off unnecessary gadgets (don’t just use the remote... walk to the mains !).

3. Cut Waste: Start a waste segregation system in your building, school or neighbourhood. Compost organic waste, sell what you can to the raddi-wallab and give him a small token of appreciation also for he is protecting your world. Collect unused paper from old notebooks and make ne ones from them.

4. Cut out plastic : Speak to at least five shopkeepers in your area and tell them you and your fiends will only use their shops if they move away from wasteful plastic packaging, particularly thin plastic bags.

5. Cut litter: Shramdaan (voluntary service) is a great way to show your neighbours you care, and to ignite within others the desire to keep your neighbourhood clean. Inform people in advance and get your friends together to pick up litter in a public place near where you live, (perhaps a garden, beach or wooded area?
