The world’s population is becoming more and more aware of sustainable living as the media bombards us with global warming and climate change information. Sometimes the sheer volumes of information can be overwhelming, so much so that a non-green person will tuck tail and run rather than begin to make some changes. If this is you, here are some simple green living tips that you can implement in your daily life that will have far reaching effects.

1. Water: water usage is something that many do not pay attention too, here are 3 simple ways to preserve the earths water reserves. Do not water your garden between 10 and 3 in the day. Evaporation is much higher at this time. Bathing and showering water can be collected in a bucket and used on your non edible plants. Washing your car with one bucket of water, instead of a running hose, is a wise ethical choice.

2. Food: As far as possible buy food that is local and organically produced. Try to grow some of your own fruit or vegetables yourself whether you live in an apartment or house, there is always something you can grow, from herbs to pumpkins!

3. Waste: set up a compost system or wormery for kitchen waste. Set up a recycling centre for paper, plastic, glass and tin. Remember to REDUCE, REUSE then to recyle.

4. Travel: If you are a commuter for your job, see if you can find someone in your area to car pool. Otherwise, if your public transport is safe, consider using this instead. Group your errands and travelling activities to save time and gas.

5. Money: Frugallity is back in fashion. Consumers are becoming wiser in how they are spending their money. Before you buy something

6. Green Fun: somewhere in the last 20 years kite flying, picnics and walks no longer passed as fun and this generation took to electronic games for stimulation. These things cost money first in the purchase, second in the game buying and third to the planet through electricity consumption. Here’s a challenge – turn of the Playstation, Wii or computer, pull out the picnic blanket, kites and walking shoes and make a wise change for your health and the health of the planet!

Symbolic forms like aural sounds, oral expressions, signs and languages are communicative sources that help social scientists understand social phenomena and enable them to postulate the concepts and methodologies of social sciences. Communication of this kind is the organic basis of disciplines of social anthropology and sociology even as a theory of the society in which communication is spatially situated is essential to evolve an adequate theory of communication. This volume explores the interface between communication, sociology and anthropology, examining the advances made in these disciplines by referring to advancements made in Western social sciences. It presents an overview of the theoretical and cultural dimensions of the forms and processes of communication in India. In this context, it covers traditional forms of communication and their interface with theory by referring to folk culture and the construction of the notion of community in communication researches. The comprehensive volume with articles by experts highlights the forms of communication and its effects on institutions related to the social and cultural domains such as language and identity and national political mobilisation. It examines the interface of the communication processes with culture and its implications for social change by delving into aspects of popular culture and the challenges of globalisation. The scholarly essays deal with sociological and anthropological issues of contemporary significance including tribal social structure and formation, debates on the concepts of tribe and caste, the sociology of professions and entrepreneurship as emergent facets of sub-structures and sub-cultures in India in the process of social change, and the changing interface between religion and culture. The essays also cover Dalit consciousness and sociology of gender.
