Think life – think green!
Most of the health problems we face today are attributed to pollution.
And then begins unending talk about how government doesn’t protect forests,
businessmen being greedy etc and after exhausting our energies and emotions for
well over one hour or more we end up being where we started – tired, dejected
and victim of pollution.
Yes, all the reasons and more are facts but if we are committed to our
well being, if we want not only to give birth to children but do as much to
give them good air to breathe, clean water to drink we would think pro-active.
In my hectic life and with limited resources how do I bring about positive
change? This question will open up umpteen possibilities for you. But we
usually choose a defeatist statement like “but what can I, a single person do?”,
I can’t do any ‘huge impact’. So, what’s the use of doing ‘my bit?”
“When no one is bothered, why only I should take the initiative?” etc etc
etc.
Now coming to find solutions – maybe in small ways but still to being
pro-active than a complaining soul. Well, what can one possible do to attack
the pollution problem? Simple – plant trees! Agreed most of live in apartment
with limited spaces and with hectic life style where do we get time for such
activities? Start with money plant. Yes, plant it everywhere. Easy to plant - No
need to invest in purchase of plant. Once you get it home, you can make n
number of plants from it. Next, outgrow the superstition that only ‘stolen
money plant gives you results – as in financial growth in your life’. There’s
no truth in that. Ask and take that plant from whomsoever you
want. Don’t steal!
Stealing is stealing – even if it be a plant. Next let it cover whole of
corridor – even the common area in your apartment. In that limited spaces you’ve
increased the green cover for no extra cost and man, what a sight to behold! With
increase in Oxygen, your health is sure to benefit. Next if you have balcony,
also cover it with the plant. When I say cover, I mean make a canopy of this
plant on the balcony roof too! Imagine the beauty of that balcony! At staircase,
you can place pots at least two at every juncture with simple plants like – oregano (vaamu
plant), crotons, sabza plant (basil seeds) et like. The smell from this plants will do healing
naturally even if you don’t take steps as these scents and their healing
quality will hang in the air of that entire building with more greenery, moods
would calm and better positivity in the air. Increase in green cover means more
oxygen in air, decrease in carbon-dioxide in air and naturally drop in
pollution levels at least in your building.
