Save the green cover and conserve forests. Save hills before they are referred in stories as once upon a time. Conserve energy by turning-off lights when not required (don't turn-off lights in emergency situations, when dealing with any calamity except where it is required to turn-off power, when some work is going on, when there are safety concerns for people, or when someone is sick and there is a need for adequate lighting). Avoid dumping disposables on railway tracks, open lands, river and sea shores to prevent landfills and to ensure a clean environment.

Beware of Bird fancier's lung, an interstitial lung disease. Timely vaccination can protect precious little lives from vaccine-preventable diseases—Save a child, save a life, and save a dream. Refer government and regulatory advisories, directives, or guidelines. Keep first-aid kit at home and workplace for use in emergencies. Cover water containers to prevent dengue. Avoid fire accidents during festive season. Do not apply iced or cold water on burns and use only cool running water as a first aid. In case a person is bed-ridden for a long time, use air bag to prevent bed sores whether at home or at health care centre. Prefer using prescribed medicines by the health expert and be aware of anti-microbial resistance. Try to start early for work if the workplace is far away rather than overspeeding or boarding overcrowded transport services during rush hour. If possible, try to help the elderly if you find that they are unable to cross the road due to heavy traffic. If possible, offer your seat to the elderly or those in need in buses and metro trains.

Park

It’s beginning to dawn, there is silence and calm,
the chairs are empty, the park remains deserted,
very soon though, the silence will disappear, 
people will stroll through, and there will be hustle and bustle,
the listlessness will return at noon as crowds disappear,
the evening will bring a fresh breath of air, 
the park will come alive as little kids jump and play around,
then as the dusk arrives, young and old will occupy the chairs, 
the fountain will sprinkle water again, and trees will glow in the park light, 
then gradually as the night sets in, people will return to their homes, 
silence and calm will return and the park will relax in peace,
waiting for a fresh new day and another round of hustle and bustle.
