Easy Ways To Take Care Of Your Planet

Don’t wash your clothes
At least, not so often. A single load of laundry generates 600gm of CO2, even if you wash at 30°C and dry it on the washing line. Tumble drying triples this. The United Nations Environment Program and Levi’s Jeans both agree you can wear trousers and skirts at least five times before washing them. Also, halving the amount of detergent will leave your clothes just as clean while reducing the phosphates that end up in our rivers. 

Use a milkman
Supermarkets will only sell you milk in plastic jugs, or cartons made of laminated cardboard and plastic. But local milk delivery companies in your area are bringing glass milk bottles back to your doorstep. Glass takes half as much energy to produce per tonne as it did 30 years ago. Returning milk bottles is also greener than recycling plastic bottles. Better still, carry your own utensil while going to get milk from the local dairy!

Use a dishwasher 
Washing by hand can use less energy than running a dishwasher, but only with an efficient technique. If you rinse the dishes under a hot tap and change the water in the bowl a few times, your handwashing session can generate 8 kg of CO2, compared with 1 kg for a dishwasher cycle at 65°C. Using the dishwasher’s ‘eco’ cycle will drop the washing temperature to 55°C, and this reduces the carbon footprint by another 20%.

Big initiatives by few can never bring out a change but small initiatives by all can definitely help save our dying planet which is the only one we have to live on. We have not inherited this earth from our forefathers but borrowed it from our future generations with full repair lease.

  • About Us

Times Newspaper in Education (Times NIE) is a novel program that helps students ‘Stay Ahead’ and aims at making ‘Learning Fun’. It introduces concepts that help individual growth and development beyond school curriculum.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE. The programme serves as a catalyst of education and interaction, as well as a window into the minds of the quintessential Indian youth. On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN). In 2008 we were honoured by the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), yet another international recognition for ‘Youth Audience Development’. In 2013 we were again honoured by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN) as the ‘Times NIE - World’s Best Youth Engagement Program’.

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
