Natural resources kaise bachayein?

Bachaana kyun?

Prakriti ke khazaane hamari saari zarooratein poori karte hain, par inme se bahut se seemit hain, aur renewable resources ko bhi dobara bharne mein samay lagta hai. Mahatma Gandhi ne kaha, “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need but not for every man’s greed”, yaani dharti har insaan ki zaroorat ke liye kaafi deti hai, laalach ke liye nahi. Agar hum resources dhyan se, bina barbaad kiye use karein, to aaj ki zarooratein bhi poori hongi aur bhavishya ke liye bhi bachenge, bina mahaul ko nuksaan pahunchaaye.

Paani bachaana

Earth ke paani ka sirf thoda hissa meetha aur aasaani se milne waala hai, aur India ki kai jagahon pe paani ki kami hai; kuch jagahon pe log peene ka paani laane ke liye door tak chalte hain. Roz bahut paani barbaad hota hai:

Kaam	Paani kaise barbaad hota hai	Kaise bachayein
Daant saaf karna, haath dhona	Nal khula chhodna	Nal band karo; mug use karo
Nahaana	Lamba shower	Balti use karo
Kapde aur bartan dhona	Chalte nal ke neeche dhona	Tub mein dho; khangaalne ka paani dobara use karo
Bagbaani	Zyaada paani, dopahar ki garmi mein	Subah ya shaam paani do

Paani bachaane ke aur tareeke hain tapakte nal theek karna, paani recycle karna aur rainwater harvesting, yaani imaaraton, gharon aur schoolon mein baarish ka paani baad ke liye ikattha karna. Ye India ki bahut purani parampara hai: stepwells, jinhe Rajasthan mein bawadi aur Gujarat mein vav kehte hain, baarish ka paani aur paas ki jheelon, talaabon aur nadiyon se risne waala paani jama karti hain.

Paani saaf rakhna

Nadiyon mein phenke plastic bags, wrapper aur doosra kachra, aur gharon aur udyogon ka kachra paani mein daalne se paani living beings ke kaam ka nahi rehta. Kachra paani mein mat phenko, dustbin use karo, aur doosron ko bhi batao.

Jungle bachaana

Jungle ko ugne ya theek hone mein bahut saal lagte hain. Hamein:

• ped lagaane aur unki dekhbhaal karni chahiye, jaise Van Mahotsav mein, jo July mein ek hafte manaaya jaane waala jungle ka tyohaar hai;
• purane pedon ko bachaana chahiye, jaise Chipko movement ki mahilaon ne 1970s mein pedon ko gale lagaakar kiya;
• sirf utna lena chahiye jitna zaroori ho, jaise Ajji ke gaon ki parampara jisme phal pedon pe jaanwaron aur pakshiyon ke liye chhod diye jaate hain.

Fossil fuels aur saaf hawa

Fossil fuels seemit hain, aur inhe jalaane se hawa pradooshit hoti hai. Hum paas ki jagahon pe paidal ya cycle se ja sakte hain, public transport use kar sakte hain, CNG ya electric gaadiyan chun sakte hain, kamre se nikalte waqt light aur pankha band kar sakte hain, aur jahan ho sake Sun aur wind ki energy use kar sakte hain.

Mitti, chattanein aur minerals

Ped mitti ki raksha karte hain: unki jadein use thaame rakhti hain, aur giri pattiyan sad ke use poshan deti hain. Chattanein aur minerals banne mein hazaaron se laakhon saal lagte hain, isliye inhe dhyan se use karo aur barbaad mat karo.

Ghar aur school mein har chhota kadam maayne rakhta hai. Kaunse resources renewable hain, ye jaanne ke liye padho renewable aur non-renewable.
