The Green Scene Environment, green living, nature. These words unleashed varied responses from the students. Do you really care if the ozone layer has a huge, gaping hole? What is your bit towards making the earth greener? Excerpts from the chat.
Mohammed Abdullah I encourage my father to use energy-saving bulbs and lights and I see to it that I switch off the AC when I’m not in the room.

I try and drive less and try and walk to reach a place if it’s within walking distance.
I tried starting a composting unit at home, but had to discontinue because my mom didn’t help me with it. We also have a ‘Live Green’ association at our university, which helps spread awareness with regards to recycling.
It really bugs me when I see people who park their cars at the malls, and leave the AC until they are back. How can you be so inconsiderate and burn fuel just for your convenience?
