THINK  GREEN  TODAY...
----------------------------------
Did you notice that today is September 28th? In a world that is obsessed with many dates and days like 9/11 and others of that ilk, it is easy to forget ... or not to remember.

Today is GREEN CONSUMER DAY.

It is undeniable that we are consumers from childhood to second childhood, from the cradle to the grave, and maybe some more. And psychologists will tell us that conspicuous consumption is addictive and can be a disease even. In India, and particularly in Kerala, mindless consumption has reached alarming levels. Has anybody paused to think of the other side of consumption--production? What do we produce, in comparison to what all we consume??

You sure cannot exist without being a consumer, I agree. So the best bet is to be a 'good' consumer, a 'green' consumer.

So, PLEASE, while indulging your need or your passion for consumption, do think about the choices you make in consumption.
It will make a huge difference, not only to yourself, but to the entire world.

Make greener choices...TODAY :

@ Buy products that use minimal packaging
@ Choose products that minimize waste.
@ Avoid disposable products.
@ Avoid Styrofoam and other non-biodegradable plastics
@ Look for energy efficient appliances with the Energy Star rating.
@ Buy items made from recyclable or renewable materials.
@ Buy products that were made locally that required minimal transportation.
@ Save energy whenever possible!
@ Plant a tree wherever possible !!

Make educated choices by learning from sites like << http://www.greenerchoices.org/ >>

It pays in the long run.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW....??
-----------------------------------------------
For the 'green-conscious' consumer, the auto sector today offers little choice and dis-incentives by way of very high prices. Isn't it time we made our Government sit up and take note that as consumers we are more attuned to the need of the hour to make greener choices.

Where are the 'green' cars ?
And the 'green' scooters and bikes ??
And the 'green' public transportation ???

Give us this day our green options, oh Lord....
