Say no to noise pollution.

Well, its Saturday,

Each morning when I open my eyes, I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make myself happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be.

Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. As Dan and I regroup from our stay in Mexico, we are taking each day as it comes. Enjoying the time with each hour is priceless.

Being happy is one of life’s lofty, and often elusive goals. We search high and low, looking for happiness in our partners, careers, and even bank accounts.

Everyone’s path to contentment will look different. So, each one of us look at today and do the best today. Tomorrow will be here before you know it.

The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things. Henry Ward Beecher

For the past three days I have been blogging on NOISE pollution. There are ways that you can help with this cause.

We can reduce noise pollution by turning off appliances when not in use, use of earplugs, lowering the volume, planting more trees, regular maintenance of vehicles and machines etc. By controlling noise, we can control negative health effects that noise pollution has on everyone.

We can reduce noise pollution by following below mentioned tips:

Turn off Appliances at Home and offices

We can turn off home and office appliances when not in use such as TV, games, computers etc., it can create unnecessary stress on ears. We can save electricity also when we turn them off.

Shut the Door when using noisy Machines

We can shut the door after we turn on dishwashers or washing machines for rooms where it is kept or we can turn them on before leaving the house so that overlapping of exposure to loud noises can be reduced.

Use Earplugs

Use of earplugs or earmuffs can bring down loud noises to a manageable level. Earplugs are small inserts that fit into our ear canal. And earmuffs fit over the entire outer ear to form an air seal keeping ears safe from loud noises.

Lower the volume

We can listen to songs, radios, TVs in lower volume when listening from headphones or speakers.

Noise producing industries, airports, vehicles should be far from residential areas as it is very dangerous for infants and senior citizens.
