Today our environment and society are surrounded by evils like pollution, population, recession, global warming and list is never ending. I have started this thread just to bring the ideas in each one of us to this platform and hence situations can be changed to some extent.


Describe in here you ideas which others can comprehend and use in their day to day life. And I am sure if we begin here, somethings might change.

AN IDEA CAN CHANGE LIVES

"BITS OF PAPER LYING ON THE GROUND, THROW THEM IN DUSTBIN AND MAKE THE ENVIRONMENT SOUND"

When I move out of my house, I see people throwing trash here and there, making places untidy and unhygenic. And these same people yell on top of their voice that government is doing nothing to fight pollution and garbage.

My idea is, each one of us should put the waste in a dustbin only. Throwing anywhere will create problems only, for us for everyone. If we inculcate this small habit in each one of us, surely things will change. I believe this is not hard to follow but requires that you are true to yourself rather than to anyone else.

Well....ask the guy throwing the paper on the road and he will himself say that ppl shud be aware and not throw kachra anywhere.....this is something like those problems where everyone is aware of what is right and wrong but do what is convenient even if it is wrong......jumping lanes without indicating.....going in the wrong lanes....breaking traffic rules....corruption....what should be discussed (if discussed) is how to implement them...as in how to make ppl aware and enforce their actions....not just making blanket statements like we should make them aware of the problems of dirty streets/breaking traffic rules, etc.

i dont have any plans on how to make this possible which would be acceptable to anyone.......(if you ask me the only way the country can improve is in a dictatorship - agreed there are major risks of going backwards in that case but under a leader like indira gandhi (am not idolizing her, just saying she was kick a$$ strong) things will get better)......

hope other have implementable solutions, else request the mods to lock the thread......

I know people are not ready to learn, but charity begins at home. Running away is not the solution. I can list here a 1000 things what we "educated" people dont do.
1. People shout that there is corruption. The politicians are corrupt. But do these "educated" people have the right to do so?

If you look at the POLL statistics, you will see voting hits maximum in rural areas. These less or shall I say uneducated people form the government but people like us sit back home and enjoy our holiday. So, who is to be said anything? Those who voted or those who sat back?

2. We go out to malls, sit in MC D and spend 100 bucks at a time, but a child comes infront of us begging for a Re, we say that we have no money. Even I don't believe in giving money but how many people buy them something to eat?

3. We shop things, we know polybags are non biodegradable, then why don't we ask them to give in paper bags?

I know these things are really difficult for each one of us. And I was expecting such a reply. We blame others but never try to correct things ourselves. That's why I said, we have to be true to ourselves not to others.

Woah.....i never said what you started was wrong and that people are not ready to learn.....i just asked for a concrete implementable solution and a way to enforce it apart from saying that "we should do this" and "we should do that"....unless we have something implementable, there is no point in discussing this as these issues have been ground finer than atoms IMHO...........
