Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday planted a 'Kadam' (Neolamarckia Cadamba) sapling at his official residence to mark the World Environment Day. Modi used the occasion to urge every family in the country to plant trees in the upcoming monsoon season.

The families should also take pride in the number of trees planted by them, in the same way they take pride in worldly possessions, an official release quoted him as saying. 'Living in harmony with nature is the only way to avoid a catastrophic situation on mother earth,' he said.

To do our bit for the environment, we don t need to take large steps; even small gestures can help in the long run. How about using resources in an economic manner as the first step towards saving the environment?

Here are some practical tips you can easily apply in your day-to-day life that will help you consume with care.
