Chemical Engineering: A need of Society

As the time is passing, there are a lot of issues related to life elements are coming up i.e. air and water. In India, drinking water is not enough for fulfilling the need, and similarly the quality of air is not up to the standards for a healthy life. The price of drinking water has gone double in last three years, the temperature on earth is increasing continuously. Every year we talk about "this year its hotter than the previous year". Being an human being its our duty to preserve the environment for future. Some are the common things that can contribute towards its control:
1. Carry the bag with you, if possible take an environment friendly bag and take it with you while going for shopping, if the market is closeby, try to walk to it.
2. Purchase large quantity products, that will be economic and environment friendly also
3. Instead of throwing water away, give it to the plants
4. Use both sides of paper and recycle the waste paper, do not burn it
5. Can it be possible to have refilling units for shampoos, toothpastes, handwash etc in order to reduce the new bottles.
6. The use of reusable items like instead of plastic glasses, use glasses made of steel or glass
7. The use of air cooler in more controlled way, a temperature sensor can stop the water pump if the temperature drops below a certain temperature
8. The water pump can be made to stop if the level of water goes below the certain level.

The duty of chemical engineer is more than this, he should take the responsibility to protect the environment. He should work on different process to reduce the waste, more economic and environment friendly techniques.
Some energy we are not utilising like the energy with rain water. if we have a tall building, can we design a system to utilise the kinetic energy of water to produce electricity. the energy with lightening, that has thousands of volts.
