With growing rate of population, the consumption level of natural and manmade resources is also increasing. In our busy lives we hardly think of this consumption level and go on using these resources to our appropriate satisfaction levels.
Recent adverse situations as global warming, weather changes and natural catastrophes, have now led us to rethink about our hand in bringing such situations to world. Although inventions have always allowed us to lead a better life but we still can't ignore the fact that some advancement have made our lives easier and have posed serious threats to nature. This in another way is affecting us only in an indirect manner.
The list of such inventions is huge which is creating a hazard to our planet and to our surprise some are pretty much a part and parcel of our daily lives. Refrigerators and air conditioners for instance, the chemical gas called ferons when released causes holes in the life saving ozone layer of the atmosphere. These holes allow UV rays to reach us directly causing diseases as skin problems and cancers. Automobiles release carbon monoxide which is so harmful for our vegetation on planet and cause immense respiratory tract problems, even sometimes death. Detergents and soaps which we use daily, allow so many harmful chemicals to release in water resources when they are being manufactured. Polluted water resources cause harm to our soil structure thereby causing harm to our cereal farms. Last but not the least our cell phones, old unused models when dumped uselessly, arsenic and mercury released from them causes serious depletion of soil resources.
The problem stands is, we all know this, have studied in our elementary schools and still we remain ignorant and careless of the facts. Every time when one new model or technology is introduced, we want to experience it and go for buying it, without thinking what is the fate of our already existing models and technologies?
Growth is natural and this has to continue, so why should not we think and create solutions for reusing the used things, in a way which is helpful to both our planet and mankind. Many eco friendly agencies and recycling agencies have come to provide us the ways. We just need to opt them according to the input required.
For instance, now you can recycle old cell phones. You just need to click on various websites available on internet and you get all sorts of help from them. These organizations are on their continuous process of making this effort as simple and fast for you.
Motivation is always the mother of good deeds and these organizations believe in the positive reinforcement theories. So they even pay you cash for cell phones. Now see the benefits, you get money for this old stuff and in doing this you are allowing it for either reuse and recycle. So take out all you old models in cell phones and send them to these organizations. Believe it or not but the amount of satisfaction you will get by doing that is much more than the cash being paid to you.
