Stockholm to Copenhegan: Where the "Common man" stands !

Much fuss has been created over these 37 years and more is yet to follow. Leaving all jargons aside, the game is all about meeting fundamental needs of 6+ billion current population and simultaneously  ensuring that future generation is also able to meet their basic needs.

Irrespective of the result of Copenhegan summit, it remains a responsibility of each of us to contribute our bit as cognizant and sincere universal citizen (assumption true as u hv still not left reading this post after first line)  . This "contribution of bit" doesn't call for attending 2009 COP or fund raising or taking a banner and making a rally for awareness (!!), but it simply calls for some simple questions

Do V avoid use of polythene when v go for buying fruits and vegetables? Do V avoid personal vehicle where public transport is available easily? Do V use carpool for going to office instead of individual cars (I know my colleagues in automotive sector would be angry as this will reduce hamper their car sale targets but still!!)? Do V attempt to purchase articles of daily use from non-plastic make? Do V make alternate use of household stuff before dumping them as trash? Do V avoid unnecessary lighting (remember grid power is from coal, so howsoever one rich is to pay the electricity bills, one is not rich enough to compensate Carbon emission)? R V willing to replace our our high power consuming equipments like geyser with say solar water heater?............................

As iterated earlier, for ensuring well being of everyone across the world, V can never be sure what governments and world leaders will do but V can always be sure what V "the common man" can always do and lets pledge to do it, after-all at the end its the common man who is going to face the wrath of nature!!!

  1. Things will change - one at a time - chose your area and start the work - which i believe you already have.

    I have to start yet. I will - thanks a lot for the encouragement.

    Keep it up :)

मन एक जुलाहा

मन एक जुलाहा फंसी डोर सुलझाना, चाहे सिरा मिले न मिले कोशिश से नहीं कतराना, जाने मन ही मन कि जब तक जीवन तब तक उलझनों का तराना फिर भी डोर सुलझ...
