Quite a read...can be used for Environment Health & Safety Meetings!!!

I GUESS WE WERE AHEAD OF OUR TIME
                                                            
In the line at the store, the cashier told the older woman that plastic bags weren’t good for the environment. The woman apologized to her and explained,

“We didn’t have the green thing back in my day.”

That’s right, they didn’t have the green thing in her day.  Back then, they returned their milk bottles, Coke bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, using the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled.

But they didn’t have the green thing back her day.

In her day, they walked up stairs, because they didn’t have an
Escalator in every store and office building. They walked to the
Grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every
Time they had to go two blocks.

But she’s right. They didn’t have the green thing in her day.

Back then, they washed the baby’s diapers because they didn’t have
The throw-away kind. They dried clothes on a line, not in an energy
Gobbling machine burning up 220 volts – wind and solar power really
Did dry the clothes. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always
Brand-new clothing.

But she's right, they didn’t have the green thing back in her day.

Back then, they had one TV, or radio, in the house – not a TV in
Every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a pizza dish,
Not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen, they
Blended and stirred by hand because they didn’t have electric
Machines to do everything for you. When they packaged a fragile item
To send in the mail, they used wadded up newspaper to cushion it, not
Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.

Back then, they didn’t fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to
Cut the lawn. They used a push mower that ran on human power. They exercised by
Working so they didn’t need to go to a health club to run on
Treadmills that operate on electricity.

But she’s right, they didn’t have the green thing back then.

They drank from a fountain when they were thirsty, instead of using a
Cup or a plastic bottle every time they had a drink of water. They
Refilled pens with ink, instead of buying a new pen, and they
Replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the
Whole razor just because the blade got dull.

But they didn’t have the green thing back then.

Back then, people took the streetcar and kids rode their bikes to
School or rode the school bus, instead of turning their moms into a
24-hour taxi service. They had one electrical outlet in a room, not
An entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And they
didn’t need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from
Satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest
Pizza joint.

But they didn't have the green thing back then!

Dear All

A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the  rest on the operational track.

The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange. You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?   

Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make................

Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess. Exactly, I thought the same way initially because to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?

Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.
 
The great critic Leo Velski Julian who told the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens. If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.

While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be   made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.

"Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn'ways right." 

Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils

Akshaya Patra does in BENGALURU   (Bangalore)

The kitchen from the outside – a three-storey building which uses Gravity Flow Mechanism developed in-house
by our team. Each kitchen has the capacity to cook between 50 000 to 100 000
mid-day meals per day. Costing approximately 9 crores to set up, they are built with funds from public donations.

cooks up to 110kg of rice in 20 minutes. Sambar cauldrons cook up to 1200
litres of sambar in two hours.

 

It is washed thoroughly on the 2nd floor

 

 

Washed rice is sent down the chute to the 1st floor

Rice pours down into steam heated cauldrons for cooking. The entire cooking process
takes place on the 1st floor

Super heated steam is used to cook food instead of flame.

When cooking is finished, it is loaded into trolleys
