Health & Earth_World Earth Day

We are what we "eat, drink, breathe and sleep"!

And what we eat, drink, breathe depends on this beautiful earth. On this Earth Day let us briefly acknowledge the way health depends on earth and what we do to it!



1. Air pollution can lead to asthma, allergies, cancer, skin diseases and can decrease life span.

2. Water pollution in various formats affects all of us. It is sad that many people do not get potable water and have suffer the consequences of poor water quality. Bacterial, viral infections apart, chemicals in water can affect health in multiple ways.



On this "Earth Day", let us each vow to reduce our carbon foot print. This will directly improve both air and water quality.

What do we need to do?

Simple things can go a long way!

1. Car pool or use public transport. For nearby places use bicycle or walk.

2. Encourage use of LPG by your maids or people at villages.

3. Prevent burning of garbage and plastics. Don't use plastic bags.

4. Recycle waste and water.

5. Plant trees

6. Use bucket instead of showers for bathing.

7. Do preventive maintenance of vehicles.

8. Preventive maintenance of taps and plumbing system.

9. Don't waste food.


For Bangalore it is time to save its lakes, its air and itself. Bellandur is an example , time to save Bellandur, time to save ourselves.

Tell us how you are contributing to keep "Earth Healthy"
