CONSERVE ENERGY
Use electricity sparingly, and buy environ-ment friendly gadgets and electrical appliances to save on energy consump-tion.
Natural and abundant sources of energy, such as from the sun, wind and water from rivers and lakes, should be adopted and used. This would reduce our depen-dancy on limited and hazardous resources such as petrol, diesel and mining of ores.
Public transport uses greener fuel such as CNG (compressed natural gas). It would be better to individually travel by public transport, to reduce on pollution and excessive traffic congestion, from a wholistic point of view.
