1. CONSUME WITH CARE Seven Billion Dreams, One Planet, Consume with Care .

2. ENVIRONMENT It is the collection of the following factors Physical Chemical Biological Economical Political Social

3. How we see? – May be wrong? Normally environment is defined as the things surrounding us. This makes the human as center Anthropocentric view The actual problem lies here We never realize what is our part.

7. Why we have to take care ? “Nature provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.” - M ahat m a G andhi – Since we get everything from the natural environment, at least for that sake we have to protect it

8. WORLD ENVIORNMENT DAY World Environment Day (WED) is the United Nations’ principal vehicle for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the environment . It also serves as the ‘people’s day’ for doing something positive for the environment, galvanizing individual actions into a collective power that generates an exponential positive impact on the planet.

9. "Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet. Consume with Care." The well-being of humanity, the environment, and the functioning of the economy, ultimately depend upon the responsible management of the planet’s natural resources. People are consuming far more natural resources than what the planet can sustainably provide.

10. • By 2050, if current consumption and production patterns remain the same and with a rising population expected to reach 9.6 billion, we will need three planets to sustain our ways of living and consumption

11. Consuming with care means… • • • • Human prosperity need not cost the earth . living within planetary boundaries to ensure a healthy future where our dreams can be realized. Living sustainably is about doing more and better with less . It is about knowing that rising rates of natural resource use and the environmental impacts that occur are not a necessary by-product of economic growth.

12. Every Action Counts • WED is the opportunity for everyone to realize the responsibility to care for the Earth and to become agents of change. " AltŁougŁ individual decisions may seem small in tŁe face of global tŁreats and trends, wŁen billions of people join forces in common purpose, we c a n m a k e a t r e m e n d o u s d i ff e r e n ce . ” - UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon

14. W A T ER • Even though households are relatively low consumers of water, population growth and expanded water use have outweighed the e ff e c t o f w a te r s a v i n g t e c h n o l o g y a n d behavior. • L e s s t h a n 3 % o f t h e w o r l d ’ s w a t e r i s f r e s h ( d r i n k a b l e ) , o f w h i c h 2. 5 % i s f r o ze n i n t h e Antarctica, Arctic and glaciers. Humanity must t h e r e f o r e r e ly o n . 5 % f o r a l l o f m a n ’s ecosystem’s and fresh water needs.

15. • • • Man is polluting water faster than nature can recycle and purify water in rivers and lakes. More than 1 billion people still do not have access to fresh water . Excessive use of water contributes to the global water stress. • Water is free from nature but the infrastructure needed to deliver it is expensive.

16. ENE R G Y • Despite technological advances that have promoted energy efficiency gains, energy use in OECD countries will continue to grow another 35% by 2020. • • Commercial and residential energy use is the second most rapidly growing area of global energy use after transport. A 32% increase in vehicle ownership is expected by 2020. At the same time, motor vehicle kilometres are projected to increase by 40% and global air travel is projected to triple in the same period .

17. • • • H o u s e h o l d s co n su me 29 % of g l o b a l e n e rg y a n d consequently contribute to 21% of resultant CO2 emissions. The cost of renewable energy is increasingly competitive with that derived from fossil fuels. O n e - f i f t h o f t h e w o r l d ’ s f i n a l e n e rg y co n su m p t i o n in 2013 was from renewables.

18. F O OD 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted every year while almost 1 billion people go undernourished and another 1 billion hungry. Overconsumption of food is detrimental to our health and the environment . – 1.5 billion people globally are overweight or obese.

19. Land degradation, declining soil fertility, unsustainable water use, overfishing and marine environment degradation are all lessening the ability of the natural resource base to supply food. The food sector accounts for around 30% of the world’s total energy consumption and accounts for around 22% of total Greenhouse Gas emissions .

20. • Increased consumption adversely affects food security. Increase in food prices . Upsurge in production methods that use more resource-intensive food products . Resource-intensive foods deplete the agro- ecological resource base, affecting its ability to produce plentiful food.

21. What I can do? B e f or e co n su m ing an y t h i ng , t hi n k t w i ce whether it is necessary ? U s e on l y j udi c i ou s am oun t s o f na t ur al resources Wherever possible reduce the use Avoid the wastage Completely avoid one time usage items
