Responses recorded for conserving food!

I always try to help Myself by taking Optimum amount Of food on my plate Which I am quite Sure about eating Comfortably Without wasting a Grain.

Take what you can Consume... Second Helpings is Welcome, but not Loading food in the First serving.

Don't cook Overloaded...If by Mistake cooked Than eat it next Day...Don't cook Following Afternoon...

Ask every one In the family How much they Will eat and Cooked the Food According to The Requirement

At home, food left over is given another form. Like left over Sabzi is used for sandwiches. left over Dal is used in dough, etc. So the wastage is almost negligible.

Cook as much as required

Make less and throw the waste to an animal.......a cow in d morning and a dog at night.

Responses recorded for conserving fuel!

Use public transport...and save fuel by car pooling...and parking your vehicle at metro stations... and taking metro for further routes

Prefer commuter as much as I can, if not possible use fuel efficiently by switching off the vehicle on traffic lights

Turn off the engine in jams, red lights

walking .... use bicycle..... use rail instead taxi use solar cooker.....

Include raw and boiled food in diet, rather than dishes involving multiple complex repeated fuel consuming cooking techniques..

More Use of non conventional sources of energy Use vehicles only when really required

Walk

Responses recorded for other conservation practices

Switch off the lights and fans when not needed, separate organic and inorganic waste and reuse or recycle them accordingly. I try to contribute by saving electricity as much as possible by switching off lights, fans, television, etc when they are least required. I try to save water by not wasting and making optimum use of it.

More of software are used instead of paper and pen or ink.

I plant a lot of trees...

Say no to plastic bags.....

there is a place where we demonstrate to use the scrap... and reuse recycle the things

We use waste water (water after washing vegetables) to water plants. Though it doesn't help watering all the plants, it doesn't get wasted. We separate waste and the vegetable peels and waste tea leaves are dumped in a pot full of soil. In a few days, the waste decomposes and mixes with the soil. It is then distributed in all plant pots.
