BIO 101: Introduction to Biological Science

 Write an essay of how you can personally help improve the conditions of our environment.
To help the environment we need not do any great things but follow these simple and small things that
matters a lot.
In our daily life, we come across lots of small ways through which we can help to save the natural resources.
Some of them are
 If there is some water left in your water bottle don't empty it in wash basin instead use that water for the
plants.
 Plant trees if possible or try to look after the one which is already present.
 Use bicycles instead of vehicles for short distances. In case of long distance, you better use public
transport.
 Keep a bowl of water in your balcony, it helps the birds to quench their thirst. Also it makes your
balcony beautiful!
 If you live in rain fed area where there is heavy rainfall, adopt the rainwater harvesting system as it reduces the
water scarcity when there is no water supply.
 Say no to crackers. This will really help a lot, it can reduce 30%of the air pollution.
 Do not use water during festival and also avoid dark colors (they cause water pollution)

The environmental deterioration that is happening, thanks to our lifestyles and worship of development and progress, is
worsening day by day. Man’s progress and the road to development has led to the deterioration of nature. In his quest
for fulfilling his needs, he has exploited nature to its maximum. This is development that is ecologically not sustainable.
James M.C. hall once said, “The human being has become the most dangerous organism that the planet has ever
hosted. “The irony is that though every responsible person seems to be worried and anxious about environmental
degradation, a meaningful solution is nowhere in sight. Every day the environment ridicules us for not helping it to the
best of our abilities. Therefore, the best way to help the environment is doing our little bit every day. I’m not going to
tell you that you need to keep a check on that leaking tap in your washroom, switching off the lights before leaving a
room, etc. etc. etc. You need to figure out all those ways in which you are causing harm to the environment and if
possible, try to put an end to that cause immediately. Spread awareness and act spontaneously.

Let me quote some words of wisdom for all those people who still behave so recklessly towards the environment,
