Environment

Ways to keep the environment clean: 1. User bags made of cloth or papers. These bags decompose in the environment.    Plastic bags take hundreds of years to decompose. 2. Avoid buying cold drinks in plastic bottles, instead buy them in glass bottels as glass can be recycled. I have seen glass recycling factories in Nat Geo channel. They crusj the old glass and mould it in new shape. This can be really done. 3. Avoid buying items in plastics, e.g. even if you buy biscuits or chips , they are sold in plastic packaging. What alternative I have found is: go to bakery and get fresh biscuits , cakes, and other bakery items in paper cover. So after you finish your bakery items , no trace remains in nature. This can be really done. When we go on outings, we normally go to dams, lakes or other natural places. What we take there in food items are plastic water bottles, chips in plastic packing, other similar items in plastic. This whole waste is dumped in environment. Is it really good,...

Normally 1 tree can make 25000 paper napkins. Considering this fact, if one person on an average uses 5 paper napkins per day , Then in an year he/she will use 360*5=1800 10 person will use 1800*10=18000 paper napkins A software company of 1000 employees will consume 1800*1000=18,00,000 paper napkins Now total number of trees 1800000/25000 = 72 trees In India if I take an average that 5,00,000 employees uses paper napkins , then total number of trees cut in a year, 5,00,000 x 1800 = 900 Million (900 x 10^6 ) / 25000 =  36000 Trees So in a year we can save 36000 Trees, imagine that It will take 15-20 years to grow 36000 trees. One thing I want to ask , (For Indian people) , the generation to which I belong to , our parents have never used paper napkins, and in 1980s and 1990s , the use of paper napkins were almost zero for middle class people, we were close to nature before than we are now. Few of my friends use handkerchiefs, this is best option. If we cann...
