Effective utilization of resources

                Initially I would like to inform that this post is not to hurt anybody. The only intension of this post is to make people to utilize the available resources efficiently

             We, the homosapiens, keep telling that certain resources are not abundantly available. Now-a-days, electricity is very scarce in India. This is very evident as most of us might have been facing many problems because of frequent and unannounced power cuts.

                  Do you think that electricity is really insufficient ? That might be true to some extent, but, what I feel is that some people are overusing (and thereby wasting) it. The variations are very drastic in the country. When there is a group of people suffering because of power cut, there is a group which consumes electricity without any use. There are some people who are waiting for the power to type their documents in a computer. There are also people who keep their computer turned on the whole day whether or not they are using it.

                   Petrol hike keeps persisting because of the inefficient usage of it. People start preserving a thing, only when there occurs a scarcity. If a certain resource is abundantly available, we use it to a greater extent. Why not we preserve that particular resource inspite of its abundant availability ? We expect certain things as a rule. For example, some of us use helmets for the sake that it's compulsory and not for our own safety. Another example is the rain water harvesting scheme of Tamil Nadu government a few years ago.

                     I don't mean that we should limit the usage of resources. My point is that don't use any resource unless it is needed (or in other words, don't unnecessarily use any resource).
