Sure Richa. I think every one of us should start doing it consciously to make the world more liveable for our kids. Lets start the greenathon right now. vishy
Richa,really I didn't know about this..thanks for bringing here and all must think about it.. cheers,
dear richa, thanks for bringing into notice an useful information. so nice of you to share with love pad.
Thanks Vishy, Nandini and Padmini for stopping by.........we hardly give a thought to some important issues that we so take for granted.........let's join in making a difference too and I'm happy that you gals stopped by to have a look. Let's see how it feels like to be primitive (to a certain extent) again. Take care.
Hi everybody! Thanks for this reminder, everybit by us counts, we should take every small step everyday to conserve energy, rgds
Yeah, Marina. I remember too. We all did it last year........and hopefully many of us would do it this year too. Ruhanee and Marina, thanx for stopping by......take care.
Dear Rachna, I too will join the gang. If not, in a major way all of us in a small way can make a positive impact in the fight against climate change. I didn't know abt the percentage of energy consumption of standby appliances , but knew they consume some. I DONT FORGET TO SWITH OFF the ones on standby on a daily basis. Even when we go for our annual vacation i empty the fridge and switch off all the appliances . Revathi
I'm happy you stopped by this thread, Revathi. In whichever way we can, we ought to make a difference, that's the goal.
