Have you hugged a tree today?

Conservation of nature is extremely vital. Just look all around and you will notice how much we are abusing our planet. Once our plant used to be covered with all types of greenery and we had a wide variety of animals, birds, fishes, etc. Due to industrialization and uncontrolled population increase, a large chunk of land cover is covered under the concrete jungle. In order to satiate our greed and endless hunger, we have stripped our planet to create huge mines, large industrial complexes, etc. without thinking of the consequences that these things will have in the long run. Mining, even though essential to our various industries destroy our environment in such a way that our planet takes many centuries to heal it self. Environmental awareness is the need of the hour. The government, local municipal boards, leaders, popular movie/TV stars, should come forward and do their bit in helping people become more environmentally friendly. For example, just by recycling all the paper products/ getting documents in electronic forms can save many large size forests. Switching from petroleum products to more environmentally friendly energy sources is quiet necessary these days and maybe making just the necessary trips to the shopping center. Just imagine how much pollution will be reduced if people supplemented some of their energy requirement by installing solar panel, used electric/hybrid cars, etc. Car pooling should be encouraged especially if many people who work in the same office live close by. Turning off unnecessary electrical appliances saves precious natural resources. If everyone does their bit…either by recycling their house hold waste, reducing energy consumption, etc, then we can actually save our planet. It will take many centuries to undo the damage that we have done in the last 100 years. So, start out with making just a few basic modifications to your lifestyles and not only save a whole bunch of money, but also you’ll be helping our environment heal itself. How about planting a tree every year? Not only will it give you shade in the summer, but will help in controlling the green house effect. So go out and do your bit and make Mother Nature happy.

Mojo rising

If you love entertainment news, then you will really go crazy when I tell you something really awesome news. Yes it’s happening...at last! Nat & Alex are going on tour this fall. Shows are almost sold out! Get your tickets! Their New York concert sold out so quickly that they have added a second New York concert to the tour. Now you can buy tickets to our November 9th concert also! I have been addicted to this show ever since it went on air and one of my friends told me about Operation Mojo. I followed the link to the site and found it a fun and exciting site where you can help NAT get his MOJO back. The way it works is the more people see their page, the more MOJO he gets!!!! You can help out in three ways and help you must by all means. It is really simple you see. All you have to do is watch and share with five friends Nats YouTube videos, subscribe to Nats YouTube channel, and finally make it your homepage. This site contains a lot of fun and exciting. I really loved the page layout and the bright colors. It seems like I enjoyed the site so much that time really flew. There are so many things at this site that I was really enjoying myself. So, what are you waiting for? Go visit the site and have a blast.

Home cooked food or outside food

I remember that I grew up on a diet of home cooked food. The kitchen was always full of sounds and smells of all kinds. If you ever had to step into the kitchen, you would have been assaulted by a wide variety of smells and the clanging sounds of pots, pans and other cooking items. As we grew older, everyone seemed to have less and less time on their hands. These days, everyone is doing their own stuff. Even during times like this we still manage to eat home cooked food. Not only is it healthier, but I find it much tastier and filling than restaurant food. Plus, we are assured that it was cooked under hygienic conditions. On the rare days that we have to eat out, it turns into a family picnic. We try to make the most out of it, and we usually end up having a blast. A wide variety of food is ordered so that we can try a little bit of everything. The end result is that we sometimes end up overeating. But even during such situations, we walk away happy since we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I guess that’s how it should be.
