The Most Important Issue Of Global Warming!

The Facts!
3.7 tonnes of CO2 will offset 1 Person flying from London to Sydney (Australia) and back. This can be done by planting 5 trees!
850 pounds is the same as 386.4 kgCO2 (0.3864 tonnes CO2). This is the equivalent of an average UK house’s electricity, gas, coal and oil usage for 2 weeks!
Insulating your home by adding hot water tank lagging to your home’s hot water tank will save 150 kgCO2 per year. This is equivalent to a one way flight from London to Barcelona.
About 10% of all electricity used in UK homes is consumed by electronic items left on standby. By switching appliances off standby 150 kgCO2 per year can be saved. A PC monitor switched off over night saves enough energy to microwave 6 dinners!
Switching off the lights when not in the room saves 30 kgCO2 per year. Lighting an office overnight wastes enough energy to heat water for 1000 cups of tea!
Turning down your thermostat by 1 degree can save as much as 10% off electricity bills, 300 kgCO2 per year. This is equivalent to a return flight from London to Barcelona.
Drive smoothly, check the road ahead, anticipate traffic and avoid harsh braking and acceleration. Eco-driving can reduce fuel consumption by around 10%, saving 280 kgCO2 per year. This is the equivalent to a return flight from London to Milan, Italy.
An average petrol car making a saving of 10 miles a week = 520 miles a year = 175 kgCO2. This is approximately equivalent to a return flight from London to Belfast.
If every home in the UK changed just 3 light bulbs, enough energy would be saved to light the UK’s street lamps.
1 Tree will offset on average about 10 kgCO2 each year
Not using a screensaver equates to a saving of 810 kWh per year = 348 kgCO2. This is the equivalent of a return flight from London to Madrid.
Washing your clothes at 30°C could save 40% of your washing machines energy consumption, saving 35 kgCO2 per year.

old age,environment,modern progress,new economy

A mixed bag of thoughts! certainly.52 isn't too old, but certainly it brings in another kind of outlook towards life.Thoughts do wander and make one think even though one is young at heart.The physical backup does falter though.
Environment sure has to be a big bother.I am into renewable energy for the last 7 years and surely envision a terrible future if we do not stop plundering Nature and misusing it for our immediate benefit.A chill runs up my spine to think of what could be!!
Progress or Regress....I stop and think.Are we going towards a good future or are we digging our own grave.Making materials that will last long and not deteriorate back to nature.Having a population with all bad habits? Making night during the day and vice versa.Growing food for animals and then devouring them to beckon the rise of heart and sugar related health problems to be solved by allopathic medicine? Making"life" easy by remote and putting on weight to be reduced by 'Paid' exercise in health clubs with personal trainers and dietitians? Cars that make an oil dependant economy?machines replacing man?computers replacing the use of our brain?
Money,Wealth,Gold,Oil etc........where is the value of Man and Humanity.Where has commune living and Barter gone.Where is the Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest?
Is it going to be "the survival of the Richest"? Is power going to be an arms race? Is Goodness going to the dogs ? Ethics+convenience?
Humanity needs to ponder.....for every Dog will see his Death !!

Obama wakes up America !!!

I wish more politicians are as mature and as sensible as young Obama is. He is tackling issues of high sensitivity head on and needs to be praised for his approach.Taking the U S of A straight on is a great sight.He is making History....Believe me !

The fight between mean,small,narrow minded views should be the larger nationalistic and humanistic ones will always go on. It is not possible to deal with the extremists and the conservatives all at once.When it comes to Democratic views....this matter should be resolved more easily.The greater and Larger interests of a Country should not have this petty bickering.

The media is much to be blamed.It is repeatedly rubbing the wrong people the wrong way. It has a lot of onus to take.It is not acting responsibly.I feel showing bits and pieces of a 'whole' is dangerous and can incite the wrong feelings and thoughts.It needs to be made more answerable.

Wake up educated,sensible,responsible,humans!! It is time for an uprising towards truth and reality of the Creator. He has made all alike and loves all as his own children.Destiny and Fate though are a part of each individuals story.Man is responsible for all the creations of,caste,religion,race,etc....The physical qualities of man are due to Geographical and Genetic compositions.Don't add unnecessary complications to a society that needs to live in peace and harmony!

Global warming a global warning !

It is so necessary to teach about environment , it's use and misuse in all schools at all levels.I think it must be as cumpulsory; just like the food we eat and the water we drink is for our body and it's fitness and survival.
There are so many people and so many campaigns one of which is in the link given below..

I think mankind should open it's eyes and learn from nature and live accordingly.Life is so simple....why is mankind making it difficult for itself?

India's Youth are a power to reckon with-Proof is Their Win Over Australia and Under 19 World Cup

The attitude and commitment shows it all !! This is proof that Indian youth can be the best in any field.They need support.The Government should wake up !A country of 1/6th the world population and ....No Gold medals yet in the Olympics?
We do not have the poor and undernourished lot like that of the 1950's and '60s....There is plenty of modernisation and growth. They politicians and planners give very little by way of support and importance to fulfill the need of sports in India. It is a sector that has little importance in schools and colleges too. Healthy Body and Mind is the Magic !!!
Look at the recent achievement in international sports. Why do they have to depend on Private Money and Moral Support?? The Government has to have a proper plan...like they are now having for infrastructure. Importance should be given to proper coaches,equipment,facilities and above all...a Respectful Place.An achievement in any field is as IMPORTANT and WORTHY as any.
Is education only leading us to degrees and desk jobs and foreign pay packets?...spending it on Material goods through plastic Cards...and eating Junk Food ???Isn't health and Sports Important?? It should be a priority....Compulsory NCC,Sports,Activities that are physical...excursions,Hiking,Mountaineering,Workout places, Jogging parks.....and so on.
Wake up India and Look towards our future....The INDIAN YOUTH !!
Congratulations to the Indian Cricket Teams...Both the seniors and the Under 19.

India and China together can take charge of things on earth !!

A thought that occurred today was purely mathematical. India and China have 1/6Th of the World's population each i.e. together 2/6Th which means 1/3rd of the global population.Every 3rd person will be either a Chinese or one of ours i.e. Indian..........

Both nations have the highest growth rate and so also the highest human resources in......IT.Medicine,Nursing,Engineering,Hotel Industry,Business,Manual Labour etc.......

Both have strong Political bases and cultures.They have strong histories and powerful logic and reasoning.They have an agricultural and rural base as well as a Modern youth.The grey matter is un paralleled and grit and family orientation that is exemplary.

They accept all religions and are not extremists of any kind.Their educational base is strong and fundamentals are to be envied.If they come together....the World is theirs for the taking.....

Think people ! Give it a thought ! WHO needs any world powers? The thing is that they are sensible enough not to be extremists and selfish lot.They care about all Humans unlike many others.They do not force themselves on anyone....for they know "GOD" is not US...we are but his blessings.

I pray Good sense comes to Humanity

Humans fighting wrong battles in 2008

I am not an authority but I have my personal views. The reason why they are put in black n white is that they should be made public and discussed for their validity.
Let us know that between the day we die and the from the day we live there was never a moment that was 100% in our control and neither will be. A mall change in somthing that happened or happens can change the outcome or the following moment. Man is stubborn and all humans are different from each other ,that is why they are individaulistic.
All countries,religions,castes,languages,and so on are made by man and for that the race suffers....EGO....I,IT,WE,US,are right and all else stands to questioning.We make rules on our own and wants others to follow...Greed of power by might or wealth....Matrial things right from currency...made by man for his own doom.
The primary differences of our own Nature are refused to be understood.....Ask Desmond Morris> he will tell you about CATS and DOGS too. He tells us about humans and Human Behaviour. What does that tell you? Nature has taken care of a lot of things...in fact ALL !!
Humans try to meddle with Nature....Cloning...a fine example !
Do we know that we humans are our own enemies. 'We grow food for animals and kill animals for our food'.
'We make weapons for own protection and kill our own selves'
'We make so many things with which we guarantee our insecurity'
OIL...what a great find.....IT surely will KILL the Economy soon !!
PLASTIC SURELY WILL STOP VEGETATIVE GROWTH and help Animals kill themselves on consumption because Humans leave it to be eaten.
Internet,Television, is very good and informative like everything the Human makes....
But 'BAD if over consumed or wrongly used'
CHEMICALS, AUTOMOBILES,PLANES,MOBILES,FAST FOOD,DRUGS,ALCOHOLIC DRINKS,THERMOCOLE,THE LIST GOES ON...............................
The Fresh Air is less fresher,the seas are rougher,the winter is colder,the summer hotter still,certainty more uncertain now !!
Food if consumed well is a lifesaver , knowledge if used well is a life giver, self respect is good too not selfishness.....where are the do gooders? the Seers and the Optimists, the mature,ethical humans?
"Self introspection" is a must for the Human race today !!! Where are we going? and what are we going to give to our children and future generations? Proper knowledge,behaviour,reasoning,habits,guidance is the call of the hour...Money and Wealth are equal evils as are Drugs and Nicotine. Lead well !!
There is a lot that can be stopped.....arrest the Population growth ! Limit your requirements !
Wars are no Solutions ! Terrorism is no Human logic !
Awake and Apply.....Live by example and Serve Humanity before Nature tells you what you deserve in return of your behaviour towards IT !
