Planet Earth is slowly getting warmer. Yes, our globe is warming. Whether you like it or not. Whether you are responsible or not. Even so, I know that it is happening. The temperature is rising, and there are going to be many consequences. Recently glanced through a Global Warming related headlines on a website, It was alarming to read those articles and future is certainly scary if we don’t act now.
Well, why am I writing about Global Warming here today? Because of a thoughtful ad that I saw in the office near the hand wash areas. The ad was very simple, it read “One is Enough”. It was pointing to the usage of tissue papers. Not that everyone uses tissues in abundance un-necessarily, but that ad was to stress upon the importance of limited & effecitve usage with minimal tissues. There by to contribute towards our part of carbon recycling which aligns with Yahoo!s “Go Green” campaign.
Now that we all know the importance of our awareness towards going green, here are some things you can do to make a difference.
* Change all of your light bulbs to compact florescence lights. By doing so, you’ll save more than 150 kilos of carbon dioxide, and more than 2,500 rupees a year.
* Plant a tree. They naturally suck up carbon dioxide, and filter the air.
* Use renewable sources of energy, where ever it is possible - Solar water heater is an example!
* Unplug electrical appliances when not in use. Even when they are turned off, they use up extra energy.
* Instead of getting new plastic or paper bags every time you go to the supermarket, bring reusable cloth/gunny bags. They will reduce waste.

Got this video clip as an email forward sometime back from one of my friends. I had posted this on Yahoo! video’s site long back. Now that the Yahoo! video site has got a make over, thought of testing this video on my blog and here it comes again. Many have asked me about the location of this adventurous jump. Even i am not sure, but got to know via one of the readers comment on Y! video site that, this place is Victoria Falls Bridge in Botswana, Southern Africa. Not sure how many would dare to go for this kind of bungee jump.. Enjoy this video.
Also, if you have time, feel free to explore new Yahoo! Video’s site. It is neat and pretty fast!
