We all have had that experience where after having a hearty meal at a restaurant , we are not sure how much to tip the waiter. We discuss among our friends and then arrive at a certain amount, tip the waiter and then leave. Most of us have a discretionary power here. But it should not so happen that you over tip or under tip unnecessarily.  Firstly you need to evaluate how the service was. The key here is to judge the service. If the food is not up to the mark, the menu is not satisfactory, the prices are shocking, and the decor is awful, all of this affects your dining experience, but remember, it is not the waiter's mistake.

People all over the world realize the importance of having lung space in their residences, and as a luxurious garden can be afforded by only a few, many are switching over to balcony gardening and rooftop gardening.

Recycle! This is the new happening word, and it should be in its right. Given the amount of waste we generate every day, no soon we will be surrounded by garbage everywhere. Reuse and recycle is the keyword today. What is recycling? Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into reusable objects to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, energy usage, air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by decreasing the need for "conventional" waste disposal according to Wikipedia. There are innumerable ways in which you can recycle things which you otherwise throw away.
