How Eco Friendly Are You?

Of late there has been a major shift in people’s perception of eco system and the environment.  Global warming, green gases, pollution, carbon footprint, carbon credit, melting glaciers have become hot topics for News Papers, Websites, Blogposts and Radio / TV Chatshows.

The message stands clear; we've got to work out a method to control carbon emissions. Carbon dioxide is mainly generated due to burning of fossil fuels. Then there is methane, which is generated by natural gas, landfills, coal mining, animal waste, decaying plants etc. Third, the use of nitrogen trifluoride as a cleaning agent in LCD screens, thin solar films etc., has become a cause of worry.

In one or the other way, knowingly or unknowingly we all have been contributing to the above. If we fail to preserve the beautiful atmosphere on earth, we will be doing injustice to our future generations. Sudden outburst of industrial productivity has certainly been a major contributor in systematically weakening the environment. We as individuals can do a lot too to protect the environment.
