Today National Safety Day

Today is the National Safety Day. Why do we have such days. Is it that we have to be safe only this day.

No matter what the day is. We should have safety precautions. The most common safety precaution we ignore is, closing the regulator in the LPG cylinder after cooking. It not only protects seepage but also increases the duration for which the cylinder can be used. I have found out that by this simple technique my gas burns for atleast 3 days more with the same cylinder.

It seems that i have more ideas for energy conservation that tips for safety. I will just put some more energy conservation points.

While in a traffic signal switch of your engine. don't put it on idling. This not only saves fuel, it reduces pollution. Just think what is the kind of world we are going to give our children and grandchildren. A totally polluted earth or a place which will be pleasant for them.

When not in use switch of all the electical applicances. I know there are many offices, even though natural light is available, the lights are turned on from the morning itself. My office is a best example for that. The problem in our office is all the electrical accessories have a common switch, so i can't help it. Atleast do that whenever possible. Remember energy saved is energy produced.

While rural India is suffering from a shortfall of power even for irrigation purposes, we are wasting energy like anything. Even one of the readers reading this blog decides to save energy it will make my day.
