NARESH KUMAR's actions

Freshwater + Oceans

Understand My Water Footprint

Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Freshwater + Oceans

Raise Awareness for the Conservation of Freshwater and Oceans

I will spend 30 minutes learning more about the importance of freshwater + ocean conservation, and how I can reduce my water use. I will share what I learn with people in person, on social media, and on the feed.

Trees capture carbon and produce oxygen that is essential to life on earth. I will support this important piece of nature by organizing or joining a community group to plant 1 native trees in my community, public parks, office location, campus or backyard.

Action Track: Community

Borrow Before I Buy

Why buy something I will only use once or a few times if someone nearby has it for me to borrow, and why not share something I have that someone may only need a few times a year? To reduce my consumption and waste, I will create or support the sharing economy with friends, family, colleagues or neighbors.

Climate + Air

Choose Renewable Energy

Renewable energy options are becoming more widespread and accessible. Not only are they good for the planet, they can help save money as well. I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will contact them to advocate for this option in the future.

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Climate + Air

Weekly Meal Planning

One third of all food produced worldwide is wasted, and so is the energy it takes to produce and transport that food. I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need and eating what I planned each day.

    Climate + Air Use Public Transit
    How has your access to various kinds of transportation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?

    I have accessed almost all forms of transportation throughout my life. All of them had their own importance but the fact remains that there is a possibility to further improvise our thinking related to transportation. In many ways we can use alternate ways of transportation in order to fulfil our requirements. We can do combine with people in order to efficiently use mode of transportation like car pooling, using cycling or train instead of Car etc .This can also help create more sustainable environment which is free from dangerous gases and fuel which are impacting our environment.

    Guys, conserve electricity. Whenever you are stepping out make sure to switch off the lights and other appliances. Also use AC only when required else you can also keep open your windows and get fresh air. Let's make this a habit.

    Working with a team is always very exciting . We make teams and start from one end and go to the other and in this way we cover the complete area. End of the day ,we see a clear picture of what we intended to clean because we had made the site so dirty that we even forgot the actual site . It appears beautiful and full of life . But the point remains are we going to maintain the place same as we have cleaned it now? This has to be maintained and it can only happen once we make a pledge of not spilling any dirt and waste particles. We need to throw these at the actual places which are intended for them .By this we can keep our place and earth clean
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Freshwater + Oceans Understand My Water Footprint
    What did you learn about your water footprint and what are you going to do to reduce and be aware of the water you use?

    NARESH KUMAR SHARMA 4/22/2024 8:52 AM
    I learned that I use less and waste more water in my everyday routine. I have now started making sure that I use water only once it is required, like closing water taps if not being used. Even during Bathing, I have reduced the number of minutes of my bathing time so that I conserve water as much as possible .Hope this is followed by my all-family members and together we contribute to conserving water.

    I got a very good quote from my son today. He reminded me with a saying " Our climate is changing why aren't we?"
    How true this is, we have to change ourselves and get rid of all the old habits of spoiling mother nature and start afresh . Please join hands together in the conservation of Earth and its resources.
