Responsible shopping, need-based life and ecological housekeeping are the tree major things that would keep the planet free from environmental threats.

• Comment on this concept.

Our planet is threatened. Human action is the culprit. Only humans can save it. What is the way out? Responsible shopping, need based life and ecological housekeeping, if taken up by you and me and all, can work wonders environmentally.

By definition responsible shopping means buying products and services which are very much needed for our basic life and make sure that we buy green products if possible. In this respect, it is right to say if shopping is controlled, demand can be cut down. Reduced demand means fall in production. Fall in production reduces pressure on the environment for raw material, transportation, production, consumption and so goes the list.

Closely associated with this is need based life. This is a kind of shunning luxuries and extravaganzas. We all know than man consumes and amasses much more than what he needs. This is against ecology, and it leads to ecological overshoot. So, need-based life is a right move towards saving the planet from the perils of human action.

Let me see how ecological housekeeping is going to save our planet. This concept is actually a combination of the other two. Keeping our house eco-friendly is something great. It involves several things. A simply enough action like switching off a fan when not in use, segregating domestic waste into degradable and non-degradable or recycling water or doing a little rain water harvesting etc. are part of ecological housekeeping.

Concluding it, I find it right to add that these three major eco-friendly lifestyle practices are not seriously taken by many. What I feel is that every one us has a role in making our Planet this miserable. So, we all have the duty to follow these three simple enough lifestyle practices.
