Happy Earth Day 2024

As Earth Day approaches once again, there will be a slew of activities being organised to commemorate the Earth but will also mainly be to rack up a few good points on the CSR register. Lets face it, how many of these initiatives actually become policies? Let s reflect on how we can make each day count as Earth Day.

Community cleanups, tree planting campaigns and switching off the lights are not sustainable, to use a very poor pun. After all, how often we can go out with a bag and pair of tongs to the beach? Would we not rather play volleyball there? Nor can we keep the lights off forever.

To give the Earth a longer lifeline, we need to inculcate sustainable lifestyles.

• Avoid the litter, avoid single use plastic.
• Use electricity and water conservatively.
• Do not fell trees indiscriminately.
• Nature's bounty is for us to use, not to misuse.
• Lets us remember the 3Rs - Reflect, Remember and Rescue. Or even the good old fashioned Reduce, Recycle and Reuse would work as well!
