SIMPLE GREEN THINGS ( Akhil Karna)

A small house..or rather a farm house, with a big green expanse all around. We grow our food around our own house, using self-made organic compost. Our house has solar panels on the roof, we use solar energy for light and to run our appliances that make life so convenient. We watch television, but we do not spend all our evening in front of it. That leaves us with a lot of time to spend with each other and our children. Our children go to good schools and at times we think they are smarter than us. We play outdoor games too. We go to gym to exercise, especially in winter, when we can not go jogging. Our’s is a small family and we take care of each other when we are sick. We have sophisticated medical system available to heal ourselves. We use environmentally friendly products, we shop loal, we love farmers' market. We go around the town on our bike. We work for multinational organizations that enrich our life and the globe, intellectually, economically, socially. We use public transport, car pooling.We think of more and more ways for saving energy, get closer to nature, reduce our carbon footprint. Now that’s a pretty organic picture, isn’t it? And we can make it happen at present, as a present to our beloved children…
