Self sustainability - A key to be a “ Responsible Citizen ”

I come across a term “ Responsible Citizen” during one of the event organised by – “ Bengaluru Green Roadies ” A group of committed Individuals enthusiastic to protect the natural resources for future generation and save the planet . Inspired with five P’s of sustainability , namely,

Ø  Planet – Environment sustainability

Ø  People – Social sustainability

Ø  Prosperity – Economic sustainability

Ø  Partnership – Reliability or system sustainability

Ø  Peace – Overall success sustainability – happiness  

With firm mindset : We dare while we care and share

Some of the thought provoking  questions started coming to my mind:

ü  Am I a responsible citizen ?

ü  Do I really care for natural resources necessary for survival  ?

ü  Do I ever thought of my future generation survival needs ?

Today , Corporate are talking about Sustainability , it has become a mandatory requirement as per company law. Economic, social, safety and environment are the key factors for business sustainability.

As a responsible citizen one must be aware of 5 P’s of sustainability fully. Now its time to act and run for own survival and creating a sustainable world for future generation. Create Green Roadies in every town, city and country at large.
