The founder of greenkidsnow.org, this precocious environmentalist has taken the message of reduce, reuse, recycle to heart. Started by Pavan a couple of years ago with help from Shanti, the website is an attempt to connect with other green kids and start a movement of sorts.

I quickly discovered that there was really no safe way to walk to the plaza, which is literally 3 minutes from my office. San Jose city planners, in their infinite wisdom, had created a multitude of grassy verges that lushly deplete the city's water supplies, and had completely forgotten about ...

I discovered that there were some other unusual items which could also be composted, like milk and juice cartons. We end up with just a couple of garbage bags in our landfill bin each week and are waiting for the day when the City of Fremont figures out a way ...

Sharanya Krishna Prasad  Sharanya Krishna Prasad has been committed to environmental and animal causes since her early years.

Small changes in our everyday life go a long way towards a better environment and prepare us for a greener lifestyle.  Driving hybrid cars (or not driving a car), using alternate modes of transport, conserving electrical energy at home (insulation, using lights only when you need it, using green lights) and yes, using a clothesline, particularly in summer season, are all the things to do to be green. Last weekend I visited a green event hosted by the City of Belmont and was fascinated by the number of green vendors.   The green industry is taking off in all walks of life.  From the smart car to Segway, Argon filled double paned windows to Compost bins - all these contribute to having clean and less polluted air and a healthier planet.
