10 tips to go green (the Indian way)!!
1. More work, less energy (optimizing and making more from less)
2. Digitize (using a computer to store documents - scan instead of print hard copies)
3. Don't be a paper pusher (if you really need to print then print double-side and reuse paper as much as possible)
4. Greening the commute (carpool or use a car sharing service - why drive when someone can drive for you once in a while, you get a chance to make new friends, and just by the way you save some gas as well)
5. Green sleeves (ironing your own clothes gives you more self-confidence at work then why give clother for dry cleaning)
6. Work from home (sure, why go all the way to work when you can use communication technologies like messaging, email, tele/web conferening, blogging, wikis, etc. Today anything can be done remotely. Grow up!)
7. Use green materials (buy in bulk so that shipping and packaging waste are reduced, and reuse the shipping boxes)
8. Lunch time (getting delivery and takeout means more waste, bring your lunch in your dabbaas, recyclable plates, spoons, and napkins are encouraged)
9. Get others in the act (share this with your fellow Indian friends and earn brownie points that your kids will remember you for)
10. There are probably a number of other reasons why you must go green but here's one you should never forget -- "Stay in touch with the Indian inside you -- at least for your habits.. they just might end up saving Mother Earth.. after all we were'nt just made that way.. you know what way ;)
