Who will stop it????
Even though the problem is at the global level but statistics confirm that small steps towards energy conservation and waste reduction can cause a drastic change in the levels of the green house gases emitted in the atmosphere. Just to state some examples like. • Each time you choose a compact fluorescent light bulb aver an incandescent bulb you will lower your energy bill and can keep nearly 700 pounds of co2 out of the air over the bulb’s life time. • By opting for a refrigerator with an Energy star label you can reduce co2 pollution by a ton in total. • Drive smart, avoid hard accelerations, reduce time spent idling • Switch off your engines at signals with more than 15 seconds • Keep your car well tuned. A well maintained car is more fuel efficient, reliable and safer. • When buying a new vehicle look for the Air Pollution and Greenhose Gas Scores.Check tire pressure regularly. • Give your car a break, try to combine activities into a single trip; walk or bike whenever possible. These and hundreds of such ideas which we can easily implement without any extra effort of money can help a lot but the question is will we do it. If we are not the part of the solution than we are precipitate. Every small step can make a difference. We can no more live with the same human attitude that this cannot happen during my lifetime so why to worry. The bad has already started and the worst is only left. My question is “If not now when? If not we than who?” There is one proverb in English which says “It’s never too late to start anything” but here we are already late and if still we don’t wake up there would be no point in starting up. There are many ways where an individual can contribute but the question is when will we start. I don’t know the reactions after reading this article. Most probably the results are known, you will get motivated, you might even persuade others then you will realize that nobody is bothered so what alone can you do so you will also join the precipitate group. I call this syndrome “short term enthusiasm loss”. But one things is for sure the generations to come will always look at as culprits and will always ask the question, “ Why didn’t you save the earth when you could really do it, why did you spoiled our future for your present, to which we could only remain dumb and repent, repent and repent.
