The latest trend is to be green! Right from government down to Chan, Dick or Hari everyone wants to be green and they wear T-shirts made of 70% polyester with a green fluorescent wording, or banner behind their 4x4 'Save trees, Save earth'. Government wants to cut down emission by 2012 and if not there is going to be official channels of emissions trading, sale of emission allowance certificates to control energy spend. Ex-Vice Presidents are right now doing Ads, awaken the society through out the world (by flying left to right), but their governments wouldn't sign the protocol on cutting emissions! Media flash those fantastic services by such Statesmen, by streaming across timezones who preach about cutting down energy consumption and recommend world's top prizes and awards for their service.
Even in sports football players who play in the floodlights of 1000s of energy efficient bulbs (one game results in 125 tCO2 emissions: 75% from lighting 15% from the stadium, and 10% from lodging etc) also have banners advising to reduce energy footprint. We have football, American football, the latest form of rugby - T20 (a type of cricket - search for IPL), and many other versions of 'sports' that suck energy and spit co2. This has a spiral effect on TV viewers, travel, etc etc. But not to worry lots of governments are right on top to control energy based pollution.
What about individuals? we talk a lot about this bars, offices, but to avoid bad breadth - as soon as we get-up we use energy powered toothbrushes (don't worry the those companies are busy compensating the co2 by sending money to emerging countries like India, Brazil, Argentina to plant trees), we use powered shavers/razors that need overnight charging, use lifts even if its just two floors to climb; so lets all speak about energy and co2 reduction - not to worry government is bringing strict rules. Though nature has given us teeth, lets grind the fruits to make a smoothie in the morning to discuss this problem with full voice!
Send Money to somewhere to Grow Trees (Don't worry about the scams), Save Earth!
