Pollution Pollution every where! no place to spare

I have been always telling people proudly about my native district Uttara Kannada's(Karwar) greenary and the way people are preserving the environment.

But this time around when I travelled to my native place Kumta,I decided to give a try and confirm whether my understanding was correct.

While driving I observed lot of plastic waste being thrown all the way.The above photoes I took at a small canal in karki ,a place near Honnavar says the story.You can find lot of plastic wastes just thrown around all places including the small canals,rivers(including the famous river Sharavathi).

I hope commonsense prevails and the people become aware of these issues.I am confident that the people of uttarakannada will surely understand the importance of saying "No to Plastics"

Plastic Drinking water bottles - A menace

How many of us have seen this??How many of us are practising this??.Using the same old plastic bottle to drink water and than throw it in the dustbin.These bottles get mixed with the regular paper wastes/garbages and later on poses great difficulty in disposing.

There are situations where using a plastic bottle may be very much necessary,but what about in other situations.

Following things needs to be practised,for better environment upkeep.

• Take your own water bottles(food grade and not low grade plastic bottles) to office.Fill it with the drinking water available.This would avoid,throwing away plastic bottles after one gulp.You can use your bottle for months together,thus avoiding daily dump


• Advice your family members also on this.Advice you collegues on the importance of not using new plastic bottles everyday,and throwing the used one


• Advice you company administration department on the plastic menance and also cost reduction of not using new plastic bottles everyday.

Protection of environment and prevention of pollution must start from "YOU".Never develop the attitude that one person i.e YOU not caring for environment will not have negative impact.Just imagine what will happen if 1000 people think like you.

SAY NO TO PLASTICS !
