Save the Earth

There should be some effort on the part of the media to create awareness on the over-consumption of valuable resources like water and energy.

One needs to be very careful while using the natural resources that are fast depleting, and future generations will otherwise be most affected. The rate of water consumption in the UAE is very high. The meagre charges being levied on water consumption may be one reason for the lack of control in using water.

Some households are seen using the hose to clean the portico; it is heartbreaking to see the amount of pure water flowing onto the road from the houses.At night, decorative bulbs illuminate walls and gardens.

What a waste of energy! I urge the authorities to look into this. Global warming is hitting us badly, and experts say the impact is going to be serious.

We, as responsible citizens, would do well taking every step to see that we leave the earth as it is, for posterity.
