[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1492769574265","data":"Eminent scientist and thinker Carl Sagan described our planet, The Earth, as a Pale Blue Dot in a quote that has since then become legendary. Sagan, inspired by the photo taken by the satellite Voyager 1 at a distance of 6 billion kilometers from The Earth which showed the planet as an extremely small blue dot, about 0.12 pixels wide in the photo, wrote a beautiful quote describing the planet, calling it the only home we've ever known. <\/p>So it is saddening to see that us humans, despite knowing that this is the only home we've ever known, neglect it so much that we're causing the planet to heat up at an extremely rapid rate due to global warming, polluting our surroundings and taking our time on the planet recklessly. It doesn't have to be that way, of course, so on this Earth Day, let us take a look at the things you can do to ensure that there is still a planet left for those who will come after us. Don't get us wrong, the weight of the world ending doesn't have to be on your shoulders, but you don't have to go out of your way to save the planet. A simple change in your daily routines would be more than enough! <\/p>1. Start recycling the things you use around the house<\/b><\/p>Change always starts at home. As students, you are in a unique position to educate yours and your extended family about the benefits of recycling and lead by example. This is one of those cases where, when you practice what you preach, people will follow. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1492770471491","data":"58f9e51e3cdab"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1492770473563","data":"2. Use as little water as possible <\/b><\/p>This does not mean stop drinking water, it means that wherever you can avoid using excess water, do it. Research into low water consumption during washing utensils, raise plants that require less water but give more output, turn off the tap when you're brushing, use the old fashioned bucket and mug for bathing instead of the shower. It's all these little things that'll matter in the long run, and it are these little things that you can do right from your house. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1492770682122","data":"58f9e54234042"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1492770684127","data":"3. Use as little fuel as you can<\/b> <\/p>Nothing can beat the convenience of a personal vehicle, but having multiple personal vehicles and using them to go even small distances is a gross waste of fuel and contributor to global warming. While we may not be a nation that prefers walking to destinations as much as the west is, do consider walking or cycling to destinations nearby. A good sturdy cycle not only helps you be fit, but also reduces your carbon footprint and the affect you have on the environment. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1492770949357","data":"58f9e5650f0b5"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1492770952234","data":"4. Consider joining an Environmental organisation near you.  <\/b><\/p>By joining an organisation or becoming part of an NGO dedicated to protecting the environment, you can become part of an organisation of like minded individuals that can do group activities together such as planting trees and teaching at schools about the importance of preserving the environment. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1492771836093","data":"58f9e58197f37"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1492771838409","data":"5. Raising awareness in your college.  <\/b><\/p>One of the best things you can do is get together with a bunch of friends in your college and raise awareness about the need to protect the environment on this Earth Day. You can even get creative with how you want to spread your message, from designing creative placards to holding a soap box session. It's up to you!<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1492771933173","data":"58f9e5bd053ee"}]
