Spread the awareness about go green!

It is not enough if you are following the go green part and trying to save the planet. It is our duty to make an awareness for the illiterate people who knows nothing about the go green and helping the planet. Some may be thinking that how if a single person is following the things will change the world and will be leading his own life without any concern about the earth. So it is our duty to make them understand that only the drops that makes an ocean and each and every little contribution is counted.

This kind of spreading the awareness may take some time. But this will help the planet a lot and you can make a big difference by spreading the awareness. If you can’t spread it to many people, at least try it with your neighbor and slowly with others whenever possible.

It is not necessary to spend your time and to spread the awareness, you can just ask anyone to stop wasting the water as many people in the world are struggling without any water and if the person understands the mistake and stops wasting the water, then it is success for you. Else you can try it with some other at some other time. But you should not stop that if someone is not accepting your thought to help the planet. That person will realize that at later point of time.

So do your part always.

Calculate the carbon footprint!

You can start the things like reducing the plastic usage, reducing the usage of air conditioners, reducing the usage of papers, etc. But the main thing that you have to concentrate is the usage of vehicle daily.

The CO2 is the major green house gas and there are also many other gases like Nitrous Oxide, Methane, etc that contribute to the pollution. Find the picture below to calculate the difference that you can make in your life to our planet.

Gasoline gives 10.5 kg (23.1 lbs) CO2e/gallon, diesel gives 12 kg (26.4 lbs) CO2e/gallon,  propane gives 8.5 kg (18.7 lbs) CO2e/gallon and natural gas gives 1.5 kg (3.3 ibs) CO2e/meter3. If you would like to know how much of the total is derived from CO2, you can use the above chart.
