Think and Innovate..

The need of the hour – Renewable energy.

We have been hearing this statement from our class six. It is more than a decade and this wave is still not down, but the necessity for the same has increased exponentially. Now belonging to the section of the society which can change things, I guess it is our responsibility to contribute something for the welfare of our mother nature.

We are on constant awareness programs insisting on renewable energy, saving water, flora and fauna etc. But do we take things seriously? How many of us switch of our desktops at the EOD? How many of us use less water while washing our mugs or make sure that the mug doesn’t dry up so that it would be easy for us to wash with less water? How many of us switch off the fans in the lifts? How many of us think before we print something?

Apart from taking these things to our heart and acting accordingly, we could do one more thing. We can take a step ahead and help the company to take initiatives in an innovative way. An idea cropped up in my mind recently. We have shredders to dispose critical or project specific confidential documents. Pretty sure, there is a lot of paper waste that is getting accumulated everyday. There are other bio-degradable materials which could be used for the same. Being in a company of 1.46+ Lakh employees, there is lot of Bio waste that is getting collected. Instead of accumulating them and disposing them at intervals, we could use them up in such a way, which will help us too. We could collect them in an underground sump or tank and use it for Bio-Mass plant. This could be used during weekends for lighting, when the power consumption is low. It is obvious that, we take pride belonging to our companies. Let the company also take pride of having us. We are the source of all innovation and we can use our thought process to help nature, by which we are actually helping ourselves..!
