Harness the Power of the Sun, Now!

Gaylord Nelson, Founder of Earth Day, once said, “The ultimate test of a man’s conscience will be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard.” For long, we have been hearing about the substandard and inferior industrial practices, which have done severe damage to our mother nature. We cannot deny that the unchecked industrialisation is actually taking a heavy toll on our environment.

For the human race to progress and economies to bloom, industrialisation cannot be brought to a standstill. Industries will come, manufacturing clusters will prosper, and more power plants will be built to meet the demand of an aspiring globe and meet ambitions! However, we can minimise the damage by adopting various sustainable and green practices. Checking the use of fossil fuels and adopting more eco-friendly measures of doing business has become the need of the hour.

And what better way than to efficiently harness the power of the Sun, by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth.

The Green Legacy

Businesses work to earn profit, agreed! However, businesses need to be built sustainably over time. The Tatas, Birlas, and Mahindras of the world have taken decades to reach their present marquee status.

Today we have fossil fuels to run the manufacturing facilities but, let’s take out a moment and visualise tomorrow. We all know and hear quite often that fossil fuels are finite sources of energy. But none of us have personally felt any significant impact it could have, have we? Have we ever wondered what will happen when the coal mines dry out? At that point, we will be left with no option but to ultimately adopt cleaner sources of energy like solar.

So, if in any case we have to adopt solar, why not do it today? One would not only have the early mover advantage but he/she will be known for doing his/her bit in helping the environment. Not a heavy price to pay for extracting so much from nature, isn’t it?

Corporate Social Responsibility or CSR as a concept is being harped upon by one and all. More organisations are paying due attention to it. But CSR does not necessarily mean doling out charities. It also means inclusive reform measures for upliftment of the human race, mother nature and self-practices as well.

The simplest way to do this is to minimise the use of fossil fuels for lighting up your office premises or manufacturing facilities and replacing it with solar power, the most natural way of producing electricity. In such a situation, going solar not only allows you to fulfil your CSR obligations but also helps you earn some brownie points by increasing the aesthetic beauty of the premises. Indeed, an added perk of going solar!

Now is the time!

Across the world, scientists have predicted that global temperatures will continue to rise for decades to come, largely due to greenhouse gases produced by human activities. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which includes more than 1,300 scientists from the United States and other countries, forecasts a temperature rise of 2.5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century. This is not only scary for the present generations but also jeopardises the future of generations to come.

Hence going solar emerges not only as a viable option but an obvious choice to protect the future. Agreed the disruption will be tough to digest – the process of replacing existing power systems with solar looks cumbersome and costly, but this is a miniscule price to pay for the difference solar energy will make to our lives. And yes, CleanMax is offering a way to meaningfully embrace Solar without incurring the capital expenditure. To know more, visit www.cleanmax.com.
