పుడమి సాక్షిగా ప్రమాణం

మానవాళి భారాన్ని మోస్తున్న భూమాతను రక్షించుకోవాల్సిన తరుణం ఆసన్నమైంది. పుడమితల్లి రక్షణకు పాటుపడతామని మనమందరమూ ప్రతిజ్ఞ చేద్దాం.

పరిణామక్రమంలో మన జీవితాలను మరింత సౌకర్యవంతంగా, సురక్షితంగా చేసు​కోవాలని అర్థం చేసుకున్నాం..కానీ ఈ క్రమంలో ప్రకృతి సమతుల్యతను కోల్పుతున్న దిశగా పయనిస్తున్నామనీ, ఇది చివరికి ప్రపంచ వినాశనానికి దారి తీస్తుందనే కఠోర వాస్తవాన్ని విస్మరిస్తున్నాం. ఇకనైనా కళ్లు తెరవాలి. వాతావరణ మార్పులను నివారించడంతోపాటు, భూమిని రక్షించడానికి నా వంతు కృషి చేస్తానని ప్రతిజ్ఞ చేద్దాం. తద్వారా భవిష్యత్ తరాలకు మెరుగైన ప్రపంచాన్ని నిర్మిద్దాం.

పుడమి సాక్షిగా . .
– ప్లాస్టిక్‌ వాడకాన్ని తగ్గిస్తాను. ప్లాస్టిక్‌ పునర్వినియోగం, రీసైకిలింగ్‌ వైపు దృష్టి పెడతాను.
– చెట్లను కాపాడుతాను. కొత్త మొక్కలను నాటుతాను.
– మంచినీటి సరస్సులు, మహాసముద్రాలను శుభ్రపరిచే అవకాశాలను అందిపుచ్చుకుంటాను.
– కిచెన్ గార్డెనింగ్ ద్వారా నా స్వంత ఆహారాన్ని నేనే పండించుకుంటాను.
– విద్యుత్‌ వినియోగాన్ని సాధ్యమైనంతవరకు తగ్గిస్తాను. ఉపయోగంలో లేనప్పుడు లైట్లు, ఫ్యాన్ , ఇతర విద్యుత్‌ ఉపకరణాలను ఆపివేస్తాను.
– పర్యావరణ సమస్యలను విఘాతం కలిగిస్తున్న అంశాలపై అవగాహనపెంచుకుంటాను. ఇందుకు నా జీవనశైలిలో మార్పులను స్వీకరిస్తాను. అలాగే నా స్నేహితులు, కుటుంబ సభ్యులు కూడా దీన్ని అనుసరించేలా చూస్తాను.
