Ensure that our air conditioner units are maintained at 24 deg<br /><br />2. Use CFL / LED bulbs and lighting instead of regular lighting<br /><br />3. Try and make optimum use of daylight by adjusting windows in the house - This will reduce the use of electric lighting during the day<br /><br />4. Use of natural resources, like solar lights, solar water heaters, will help conserve electricity<br /><br />5. After cooking in a microwave, use the intrinsic heat for another 2-5 min. to warm up bread or other small items, without switching on the oven<br /><br />These simple daily use methods will not only save energy and help our environment but also save you from paying increased prices for energy consumption.<br /><br />We can help save resources for a better world!

Sion - Trombay Road... And I came across this huge installation with lots of lights... presumably some "mela"... a fun-fair going around in the K. J. Somaiya Hospital grounds near Everad Nagar... This fair has HUGE installations of lights.. and so much so that the amount of power spent can bring lights to a lot of our farmers, citizens and other industrial units that go under brunt of load shedding...<br /><br />Did someone say that Mumbai had a shortage of Power? Did we hear someone talk about "Power Saving"... There are slogans of "Power On, India On"...<br /><br />I will post a picture of this event in a couple of days (I tried to capture it on my mobile, its so dazzling that my 1.3 megapixels camera phone did not catch it!! )...<br /><br />Are we wasting too much power when we go carefree celebrating the New Year... ???<br /><br />Are we taking the city for granted ???<br /><br />Are we awake ???<br /><br />Are we out of our dream-world.. ???<br /><br />Making a "Shanghai" out of Mumbai is a long dream... First lets save enough for our kids...Ojas Kulkarnihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01874868639624414170noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360684607547024588.post-16489680535879084782007-12-28T09:17:00.001-08:002007-12-28T09:27:12.215-08:00This is an attempt to SAVE Mumbai from the bad debts of pollutants....<br /><br />We Mumbaikars have abused the city with a lot of garbage that we need to clean-up before it gets too late...<br /><br />I will be posting a lot of content, information and options that we all can undertake to make this possible...<br /><br />Let this be a channel to fuel all the voices in support of Pollution-Free Mumbai...<br /><br />Keep reading for more...Ojas Kulkarnihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01874868639624414170noreply@blogger.com1
