10 WAYS TO AVOID WATER WASTAGE

-
Dear all,

Our world is running out of fresh water; the crisis is at its most terrifying stage. Everyone needs to put in a share in different campaigns to lower or avoid the situation. Our 1/5 population is already facing water scarcity; more numbers are going to add to this. The scenario is worse, and it can be treated with solid and concrete steps. As human beings, we should feel the pain of such sufferers. The right step will not only help other victims but will also lead them to enjoy a long-term facility in their homes.

Some of us have no fear of this situation at this time, as we are getting plenty of water in our taps and there is no interruption in our routine. The following precautions are actually for those who already enjoy an uninterrupted supply of water in their houses. With these simple changes in their life, they can help a lot of people around the world.




1)      Starting in the early morning, we should turn off the tap while brushing our teeth or shaving. There is no need to listen to the music of running water at that time, so avoid it.

2)      Dishwashing and laundry are usually the times when gallons of water are consumed. Sometimes it is a requirement, but this can be prevented by careful use of water.

3)      Tap water wastage is also a frequent occurrence in our routine. We should check and maintain the taps and also check for seepage in water tanks.


4)      Plants and trees bring beauty and life to our home; we should use soil that soaks water in it and retains moisture for a longer time. Materials like coco peat is a major source, and other sources can be found in different studies. Pots may be placed in a shady area so that they consume less water.

5)      Watering the garden is a time-consuming job, and some of us put the water pipe in gardens and let the water flow on its own. Many times it turns out into a conversion of a garden into a shallow pond. Automatic water irrigation systems are now available for domestic use.


6)      Cleanliness is good for health and hygiene, but we should avoid using an open flow of water to wash all houses or garages. A time schedule could be maintained, and this can be done on alternate days instead of daily.

7)      Kids and youngsters mostly consume 4 times more water as compared to others while in the shower; they need to be educated about this wastage. Although it is a difficult one, a steady and kind gesture will bring them to the track.

8)      Fountains and waterfalls in the garden are also a fascinating and eye-catching view. It is also a sign of a lavish lifestyle. But this is not the right time for such wastage. We should avoid such luxuries daily. It could be limited to use when throwing a party.

9)      Water tanks on rooftops have now become a part of our daily life; they are an alternative to interruptions. Most of us have installed an auto switch to avoid wastage of water. There are still many who forget to switch off the electric pump while filling the tank, and it is causing a lot of wastage of water.


10)   Rainwater is a good natural source, but we often let it go to waste. It can be preserved to use in plants and pots, while distilled water generated by air conditioning systems can also be used in batteries and for cleaning purposes.


Best regards.

FESTIVITY OF BASANT

Hello all, Festivals are meant to give pleasure to people. They are not only a source of enjoyment but also create a positive image of a nation. They also promote the culture, food, and traditions of the natives. In modern times, festivals have also become a source of business promotion, whether it is on a town level or at an international exhibition. I opened my eyes to Lahore city, where “Basant” was one of the most popular festivals of the spring season. “Basant” is a festival that has been celebrated in the subcontinent, especially Punjab, for a long time. It was celebrated to welcome the lively spring, which brings back life to nature. This time, when the blowing breeze blooms with the fragrance of flowers, there are colors spread everywhere on the ground. Young hearts would warm up and want to color the sky as well. The festivity came with the tradition of inviting relatives and friends over and preparing delicious food all day long. In the ’90s, it changed i...

HAPPINESS- SPREAD THE COLORS ARROUND

Hello all, Happiness and enjoyment never come from an outer source; they are within us. If we are light in mood, we are happy, and if we are heavy, then it is sadness. Sometimes we are between both moods, and that is seriousness. All moods carry with them different feelings, and everyone loves to live within one’s comfort zone, but happiness is a step ahead. It brings a way to flourish in our life. It introduces us to the brighter side of our life. It affects everybody in a different way; one can enjoy it while watching a movie with a handful of popcorn, another playing a game, and another feeling satisfaction in reading books. Many people love to wander around, some watch TV, and many gossip. Few like relaxing in a separate place with a cup of coffee or a drink in their hand, while some others would turn the music on, hit the woofers, pick up the pace themselves, and force others to dance along too. Everybody has his own perspective towards life. The versatility of life...

SUPERSTITION

-
Hello all, According to many readings and scientific studies, our illusions are due to some disorder in mental chemical levels. We overthink a lot and make up our minds according to what we think often. These kinds of beliefs are very common in our daily routine. These are called superstitions and vary from area to area. Many times, they have no similarity between them, but the purpose is the same: "superstition". Another reason for these superstitions is that many clever and manipulative people spread their self-created myths among simple and illiterate people and influence them to believe them.  The worst I ever read was in stories where men or women were being burnt due to the belief that the victims were involved in witchcraft. It was a common way to take revenge on somebody.  In the sub-continent, there are many superstitions believed to be true; actually, those are not, because we do not have any concrete argument for their validity. Here I want to mention a...
