Dear Readers,
Welcome back!!! Hope you are having a great day.
Today, I want to discuss about few important social causes and how we can contribute back to the society.
Social Cause 1 - Save Paper
As everyone knows that paper comes from trees. Lot of trees are cut every year to run the paper industry. So, what can we do to reduce the paper wastage and save the trees.
The rest rooms in all major public places like offices, restaurants, airports etc have Napkins (Paper tissues) for drying hands. The garbage bins are usually overflowing with the napkins. Now, if everyone started using hand towels or hand kerchiefs to dry their hands instead of the paper napkins we could easily save around ten paper napkins per person per day.
Also, in office cafeterias we see paper cups being used to serve tea or coffee or water. If everyone start using their own coffee mugs they could again contribute to reduce the paper wastage. Similarly, while shopping try to carry cloth bags to avoid using paper bags.
Social Cause 2 - Contribute money to a social cause
To run a country is a very difficult job. We cannot hold the government alone responsible for everything. Agreed, that we pay taxes. But, does our responsibility end there ?
Each one of us might have a social cause close to our heart. Someone might prefer to educate children, someone else might prefer contributing money to an orphanage or an old age home. Since, we may not get time out of our busy schedules to come down and help for these causes. So, it is better to identify some legitimate NGO and contribute money towards that NGO to help it run efficiently.
Social Cause 3 - Keep your city clean
I have seen people throw garbage right across the street and into empty plots. They imagine that it would become someone else's problem after that. People also throw ice-cream and chocolate wrappers anywhere they feel like. It is high time to educate these people. If you see anything like this happening around you, quietly collect the trash and put it in a garbage bin. You can even approach the person and suggest him politely to do the same. These things might seems awkward at first, but I firmly believe in these methods suggested by Mahatma Gandhi. Since, these actions have a long term benefit and aim at changing the ideology of people. If you feel hesitant at first then start with your own family and educate them. Slowly, start spreading the right message to other people.
By doing simple things, we can bring great changes in society. Like John F Kennedy had quoted "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for the country."
With Love,
Gunjan.
