The poster below says it all . I see many Indians having this false notion that being affluent means buying new things and discarding old stuff and flashing it around because they can afford to do so...being careful and thrifty is considered a quality associated with have nots !! So what is your opinion about the poster below?
I came across this video which shows that there is a great awareness in India about environment and some positive steps have been taken ..

A very pertinent point, but that's how I grew up using them. It is basically used to prevent dust to enter.
I use cream & then apply powder to prevent dust to stick because of the cream. May be that is not required as well.
I don't know why I think like that to become fair, but I have been using it. I have to introspect myself, may be I have fallen prey to Ads. I also have a question in my mind right now after seeing this reply.
Does anybody over here use creams at all? I have been using as a normal practice to prevent dust from outside sources. Just curious to know whether anybody uses creams over here?
Taking care of ones skin is good and all that f us do so ...I feel that natural ingredients work a lot better than creams . I use a paste made of turmeric,curds and a few drops of oluve oil. .
Vicco Turmeric is made from natural ingredients. I think I should try the paste as being used. But not very often these things happen like a person preparing a paste of their own! That is indeed a wonderful idea that never struck me. It is very cost efficient & effective. Thank you for your useful insight.
Vicco Turmeric is an oldest product. I know it since when I was of 14 years old. It is natural. In these day Pantjali products is famous and all these are natural.

Its a great achievement indeed. I wonder how the state government of Sikkim motivated all the farmers to practise organic farming? Farmers in other states can also be encouraged to take similar steps.
In India, every year farmers in different states faces problems due to erratic weather conditions. If they are encouraged to practice organic farming, their loss can be reduced to a great extent.

I agree Jabeen , also in India besides inequal distribution, we also face water scarcity in some areas ,lack of resources and knowledge distribution,loan facilities and counselling to overcome difficult situations. If the government focuses on things that help farmers at every level , they could concentrate on productivity and quality . As of now many if them think only of survival which is really sad..

I too saw the video. It seems to be a good initiative. But this needs to be done on a larger scale in India so that the agricultural products can be sold at lower prices. Right now if we see organic product in marts or supermarket they are beyond reach of common man. It is impossible to afford organic products.
If everything pools in and do their bit , it is not difficult to have a nation that is clean and healthy . Lack of awareness and a general lax attitude coupled with misplaced priorities has made our country one of the filthiest with the worst basic infra structure ..our cities are a nightmare and villages have no amenities, so we have a long long way to go!

Thanks for sharing these, For me only one thing is enough to control pollution, it is we people. If we begins to think that how environment is important for our life every thing is possible.

Here I am reading almost everyday about organic farming. People who adopt it is benefited. Organic farming is almost no cast farming. Pestiicides made cow urine, neema, dhotoora are much more better than other chemical base pesticides.

Obviously people have started practising organic farming everywhere. Even in Manipur, some farmers do that. So when they sell their products at a higher price, the buyers are ready to pay the amount asked. But these are done by only few farmers. So its a great achievement when the government motivates all the farmers to practice organic farming. Every other states can learn from them.

It us being done in small measures , that's exactly why the price for organic products is so high. The difference at times is thrice the price of other products. Fir it to become successful if all households pool in by separating waste and if the kitchen waste is reused , it can become lucrative. In my city certain organization s are doing it , in a small way of course and selling the organic manure

Farmers are awareing day by day with benefits of organic farming. Government is not doing much about it. scientists are still suggesting to farmers chemical base Insecticide. Indeed lobby of insecticide is too much powerful so it is not easy job to turn farmers to organic farming. It will take time.

Separating the waste and turning kitchen waste into manure will also reduce the solid waste problems.

True, although many metro cities have introduced it, I wonder if the waste disbursement is efficiently thought out , so that it does not pollute the environment.

Government is giving big amount as grant to fertilizer manufactures, why government is not give it to the farmers who is doing organic farming. If it is happen people can get organic product at low cost.
It is a powerful message in the poster. I try my best to implement it . I am always in a thrifty mode reducing and reusing things.
I once read one article where Japan has adopted the principle of minimal use..they even use minimum sound to talk and other things to avoid noise pollution.

Japanese practice a philosophy which is called 'Mottainai'. According to this philosophy, each and every objects have soul. So people are encouraged to show their respect for the things around them, by using them properly and not wasting them.
Even though, Japan is a small nation, we can learn a lot from it.
