Eco Eco Eco


Eco Eco Eco...!!! Every where you see people are talking about Eco. Some people take it very seriously and some just show "Chalta hai" attitude, and keep doing what they were doing.

I always had some or other doubts about this eco-system or eco-logical balance, and these doubts I often found mushrooming a lot of sceptical ideas on our actions and reactions about the eco-related development happening across the globe. There are many volatile themes continue to strike my brain, stays there for some time, and then dissappear, and it has become a very normal pattern these days.

Of late I attended some trainings on GHG (Green House Gases) and Eco related subjects in the organization, and even outside, all trainings with the same theme of reducing the carbon footprint. Now how can we reduce carbon emission where now carbon is almost considered as the by-product of the energy. We want more energy but reduced carbon discharge... pretty tough to answer, or may be very easy to answer but rather tough to implement.

Why it is so tough to setup a new rule to reduce carbon footprint ?, May be because we are no longer following the Nature's theory of evolution. Now I am definetely now talking about the exact theory of evolution but yes something related to that. The reson is simple human being has development so many thing that he has the power to challenge the enviornment, and survive at most unmanageable circumstances anywhere in the world, but don't forget it's not because of the evolution inside the human body but outside. Today our life is completely in the hand of the technologies and latest innovations. We will die the very next day, it's been taken from us.

I remember when first time ALL OUT launched it mosquito killing machine where there was no smoke and odour. It was so effective leaving no mosquito unkilled. We see mosquitos feeling drugged, and falling on the floor, it became the choice of every household in short span of time, as if they have got the "bramastra" to get rid of these small, fying skeeters. It worked for a couple of years very well but gradually mosquitos evolved and developed the partial resistance for it. They evolved... they built up new bearing power in their body to fight with their enemy's weapon. But in our case, we are not evolving but we rather change the enviorment around us and make ourselves comfortable. If we are actually evolving from anywhere then it's from brain, we are developing sharper and sharper brain, every century we have better brains taking birth who keep working on old brains theories and methodlogy to develop stuffs that can make us more comfortable and reduce our workload. And that's the world we are living in. In this world it's quite difficult to reduce the usage of carbon footprint unless our sharper brains won't turn their attention towards this eco-crisis we are heading towards and start working on better solution to use the natural and recyclable energies like, wind, sunlight and water. Unless we stop using the fossil fuel for generating energy we can not cut down the emission of GHG upto a great extent, which is the need of the hour and era.

GHG must be controlled, and if GHG emission is not controlled in a big way, we are not much far in destroying this lovely planet called "Earth". I love the below quote which was the part of one of training, I attended and I loved it...!!!

"We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children"

So people, lets save Earth for our children... It's a responsibilty.
