Today is World Enviornment Day!
According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), every year 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted. At the same time, 1 in every 7 people in the world go to bed hungry and more than 20,000 children under the age of 5 die daily due to hunger.
This year's theme is Think..Eat..save...which encourages reduction of food wastage..we know in this part of the world how much food is wasted in the restaurants. Please do your bit to stop wastage of food.
Few things we can do to help maintain the ecological balance:-
- Don’t waste food, cook only what you need
- Take only what you need in a buffet, don’t waste because you are paying for it.
- Limit the use of water, don’t waste water
-Plant a tree on your birthday
- Gift a plant/tree to your friends
-Reduce, reuse, recycle, Renew, Refuse
- Spread awareness
- Try to use public transport to reduce carbon emission (not very feasible here) at least when you go to your home country.
Together we can make this world more Greener and maintain the Ecological Balance!
Have a good day!!
Think of the planet as your home. :O)
Gyspy .. The mother nature :O)
Happy environment day
Some advices,
Don't throw cigts on the street like me
Don't throw your Garbage in front of your neighbor's door like me
There are more people killed by Jelly fish than Sharks..:(
''... more than 20,000 children under the age of 5 die daily due to hunger...''
And I always talk about myself first before expecting same from others!!!
Recycle now that is a new word in Qatar.. Ever wondered where all those Recycle Bins go to after they are full? The same quarry where the rest of the rubbish goes to!
Morning Omais.. as QLers we can do all that’s mentioned there plus we can Organize an awareness campaign
HGL...switch to rolls... LOL
Considering the fuel cost...I thought in Delhi and Mumbai people use more of trains to work..maybe am wrong...I am talking about Mango people..:)
Fatima ..very good tips…:)
"Try to use public transport to reduce carbon emission (not very feasible here) at least when you go to your home country"...not correct IMO. Here the distances are short so public transport shouldn't be an issue. Imagine in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore where distances required to be travelled can be upto 60 kms or more, for work, shopping etc. coupled with the amount of traffic. And summers and winters are comparable.
"Gift a plant/tree to your friends"...nice idea !
on the coming 76th birthday of britey i shall gift him a Cactus plant...:)
TFS hon..great green reminders! And a couple more:
*When boiling water always keep the pot lid on to save gas
*Teach children the importance of shunning wastefulness. No food fights!
"Limit the use of water, don’t waste water"...close down all Indian restos...the food is too spicey requiring too much use of water in the morn...:)
so wat shall we do as QLs users??
What cent we can add to save the environment??
and britey, will you stop eating spicy Vindaloo's daily plz ? :( I cant see the atmosphere polluted.
