If you browse any newspaper, magazine, or news channel, you will be inundated with “the Copenhagen” news. In case, you are not aware of it, it’s the international platform, to save the planet for ours next generation, through political dialog and agreement. The international politics of “Carbon emission” is on a full swing. God knows what will be its outcome of this "climate change" summit.
What is it's significance here? Why does one care about it? How someone’s lifestyle has an impact on it? Many people today may not be aware of it, but in one line, it would be sufficient to say, in case we don’t take right measures now, then Mumbai might be there under the sea in the next millennium. I mean, the "global warming" will melt the glaciers and the sea level will rise to wipe out a few more cities.
Believe me or not, we can bring equal subtle change than our leaders at “Copenhagen”. To start with, let’s just walk/cycle while going to nearby places rather by bike or car. It will not only help us to do some workout (as we don’t have enough time for the same), but a small step (in our own way) towards reducing “carbon footprint”
Having started with that, I acknowledge, we don’t have the right infrastructure in our cities or towns to support this. However, if we start pursuing such endeavors, I am sure we will have a better life, better city in few years down the line. The change will come.
Walking/Cycling is a baby step on the right direction in mitigating “carbon emission”. Let’s follow it!
